About this episode
Jonathan Harris looks beyond the hype to examine AI's quiet shifts. This week, we assess how conversational AIs can subtly inject advertising, the challenges of turning assistants into autonomous agents, and the practical importance of benchmarks for scaling AI. It's about the plumbing, not the fireworks, and understanding the real-world implications for trust, regulation, and who ultimately controls these systems.
