In Ep 2 we ask: "Panic or Progress? Reading Between the Lines of AI Safety Tests." We unpack the recent Claude Opus 4 "blackmail" test result, OpenAI's new transparency pledge, and why safety evaluations sometimes sound scarier than they are. Listeners will leave with a clear framework for interpreting headline-grabbing safety reports—and practical advice on when to worry, when to wait, and how to separate red flags from red herrings.

Will AI really erase half of all white-collar jobs, as Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warns? We unpack the numbers, the hype, and the hidden opportunities, then hand the mic to Microsoft's Alexia Cambon for fresh research on how to thrive in an AI-saturated workday. Listeners will learn how roles are shifting, which skills stay scarce, and concrete moves to keep their careers future-proof.

After a long wait, Apple is finally in the game with AI. They’re launching Apple Intelligence with MacOS Sequoia and iOS 18. Pete breaks down some top features and how our devices will change moving forward.
