Outro

They opened by framing the day around AI headlines and how each story connects to work, government, infrastructure, and long term consequences of rapidly advancing systems. The first major story centered on a Japanese company claiming AGI, followed by detailed breakdowns of global agentic AI standards, US military adoption of Gemini, China’s DeepSeek 3.2 claims, South Korean AI labeling laws, and space based AI data centers. The episode closed with large scale cloud investments, a debate on the “labor bubble,” IBM’s major acquisition, a new smart ring, and a long segment on an MIT system that can design protein binders for “undruggable” disease targets.

Key Points Discussed
