Balancing Innovation and Ethics in AI

This week, Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis celebrate the arrival of AI Mode for Jeff! They pick apart all of the defections taking place in AI (much of it heading right for Meta's Superintelligence lab), how AI impersonation is becoming a thing even if it isn't very successful yet, and the arrival of Perplexity's $200 per month plan that includes first dibs at their agentic Comet browser.
