In this episode, Ray Cochrane breaks down a reversible conductive glue from Newcastle University that could replace solder and finally make electronics recycling work. Additional stories cover China widening its clean energy lead, DeepMind's AlphaEvolve scoring wins from genomics to Google's database, Anthropic's $200 million partnership with the Gates Foundation, Intel teaming up with McLaren Racing, and end-to-end encrypted RCS rolling out in beta.
In this episode, Ray Cochrane unpacks Anthropic's Mythos model and the Treasury's emergency meetings with Wall Street, then digs into Apple's vibe-coding crackdown and a gaming-anxiety study that hit way too close to home. Also covered: Verge's solid-state motorcycle, UBTech humanoid robot sales jumping 23-fold, Japan's first osmotic power plant, Finland's permanent nuclear waste vault, Ghostty landing in Ubuntu, Cloudflare's EmDash CMS, and a Claude Code skill that talks like a caveman.
In this episode, Ray Cochrane digs into a new study showing AI is literally frying workers' brains, then unpacks Anthropic's wildest month ever - from a 1,487% user surge to Pentagon retaliation to a leaked model called Mythos.
In this episode, Ray tackles Anthropic's standoff with the U.S. Department of War after CEO Daria Amodei refused to grant unrestricted model access, citing concerns over mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. The government responded by banning Anthropic models through administrative orders. Also covered: the top 20 websites of 2026, China's $173,000 warm-blooded companion robot, Fukushima's rapidly evolving radioactive hybrid boars, a Chinese spacecraft emergency involving viewport cracks from space debris, Japan's wooden satellite built with traditional joinery, and human brain cells on a chip that learned to play Doom in just one week.
This episode kicks off with Moltbook, a social network exclusively for AI agents where 150,000 agents formed digital religions, sold "digital drugs" (system prompts to alter other agents), and attempted prompt injection attacks to steal each other's API keys within 72 hours of launch. Ray breaks down OpenClaw, the viral open-source AI agent (68,000 GitHub stars) that handles emails, scheduling, browser control, and automation, plus MoltHub's risky marketplace where all downloaded skills are treated as trusted code. Also covered, Bluetooth "whisper pair" vulnerabilities letting attackers hijack audio devices from 46 feet away and access microphones, Anthropic patching Model Context Protocol flaws, AI-generated ransomware accidentally bundling its own decryption keys, Claude Code's new task dependency system and Teleport feature, Google Gemini's 100MB file limits and agentic vision capabilities, VAST's Haven One commercial space station assembly, and IBM SkillsBuild's free tech training for veterans.
Tech companies are turning to controversial tactics to feed their data-hungry artificial intelligence models, vacuuming up books, websites, photos, and social media posts often unbeknownst to the creators, WIRED reported. AI companies are generally secretive about their sources of training data, but an investigation by Proof News found some of the wealthiest AI companies in the world have used material
