Gemini Flash Hallucination Example

The show leaned less on rapid breaking news and more on synthesis, reviewing Andrej Karpathy’s 2025 LLM year in review, practical experiences with Claude Code and Gemini, and what real human AI collaboration actually looks like in practice. The second half moved into policy tension around AI governance, advances in robotics and animatronics, autonomous vehicle failures, consumer facing AI agents, and new research on human AI synergy and theory of mind.

Key Points Discussed
