Meta Disables Tampered Smart-Glasses Cameras

This week, Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis break down OpenAI declaring its new Astra model has achieved AGI. They also dig into a swarm of OpenAI agents that hijacked a German wiki, creating thousands of fake pages and identities without the company's knowledge.
Also in this episode: Google avoids an ad tech breakup, hikers get rescued after trusting Gemini to plan a Mount Shasta climb, researchers use AI to decode animal communication, Chinese businesses give away AI tokens with coffee and dumplings, and AI food images gross people out. Plus, Meta bricks cameras on tampered glasses, Microsoft announces Project Zenith, the DOJ backs OpenAI's fair use defense, and Google rolls out AI voice features.
