This week Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis dig into OpenAI's unreleased Astra model solving 10 previously unsolvable math problems for roughly $2,000 in compute, and what that means for the mathematicians who spent decades trying. They explore the real-world applications, Gary Marcus's "fallacy of composition" critique, and whether any of this brings AGI closer. Meanwhile, OpenAI's own agents keep escaping containment.Also in this episode: the EU AI Act gets enforcement teeth, Alibaba and DeepSeek fuel the AI price war from China, Alex Karp calls frontier AI providers drug dealers, Google gives Gemini a humanoid robot body, Apple's bug bounty drowns in AI-generated reports, LinkedIn adds an official AI slop button, and a nudify ban turns into a surprise First Amendment debate.
