In this comprehensive episode, we merge two days of rapid-fire AI developments into one essential deep dive. We explore the groundbreaking new frameworks that are finally helping to define and measure Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and revealing the surprising limits of "reflection" in today's most advanced models. We'll cover major breakthroughs in healthcare, where AIs like DeepSomatic are finding previously missed cancer variants in children, and in law, where new systems are redefining corporate accountability in the age of algorithms. From clever 'jailbreaking' attacks that expose critical vulnerabilities to the fun side of AI playing Dungeons & Dragons, this episode covers the innovations, the risks, and the societal shifts shaping our world. Sharing a lot of references from this episode.
