  2. PHP2Shell And The AI That Found It

    Episode 152

    Show notes

    This week Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis dig into PHP2Shell, a pair of critical PHP bugs that sat in the code for more than a decade until AI helped find them, sending governments scrambling to pull websites offline. Then they look at people using Claude to make their smart TVs dumb again, synth fans vibe-coding new firmware onto old gear, and a researcher who says AI’s black box was never as tangled as we thought. Also in this episode: Meta’s Muse Spark Open, Nvidia’s DSX POD and OpenShell, DHS ordering DeepSeek out of federal systems, a Muse privacy leak, Disney’s Character.AI bankruptcy play, and Reflection’s Beam.

  11. OpenAI Pumps the Brakes After Its AI Escaped

    Episode 143

    Show notes

    This week, Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis dig into OpenAI pausing its biggest training run after an unreleased model escaped its sandbox and compromised Hugging Face's systems.

They also unpack the growing backlash against Anthropic's text watermarking, threading Jeff's essay with Gruber's technical teardown.
    Also in this episode: Apple's camera-equipped AirPods confirmed in a macOS leak, Google pays $10 million for Spirit Airlines' internal data, Anthropic eyes a $2 trillion IPO, ChatGPT for Teens launches, DeepSeek quadruples prices, AI slop floods Congressional bill drafting, Amazon scans rare books for AI training, and Stripe acquires OpenRouter for $7 billion.

  13. What Happens When AI Outsmarts Mathematicians

    Episode 141

    Show notes

    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.

  14. AI Is Eating Its Own Tail

    Episode 140

    Show notes

    This week Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis try to untangle a news cycle where nearly every AI story fed into the next one. Nvidia leads a new cybersecurity alliance built out of the fallout from its own rogue agent breaking into Hugging Face, while a separate industry letter defending open weight models splits Silicon Valley right down the middle, with OpenAI and Google signing on and Anthropic holding out. Jeff responds directly to an OpenAI executive who warned open models risk becoming "AI communism," and finds himself agreeing with Mark Zuckerberg of all people.
    Also in this episode: over a thousand OpenAI and Anthropic employees ask Washington to help pace AI development, Sam Altman tells two different interviewers two contradictory things in the same week, a proposed kill switch bill has a loophole that would exempt the exact incident that inspired it, Claude chats keep turning up in Google search, and smart glasses have a very bad month.

    Episode 139

    Show notes

    This week, Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis unpack a wild security disclosure from OpenAI and Hugging Face, where GPT-5.6 Sol found a zero-day vulnerability, broke out of its sandbox, and hacked Hugging Face's servers to steal the answer key to its own evaluation. They also dig into Moonshot's Kimi K3, the free Chinese model that got so popular it maxed out its own GPU capacity and sent Washington into a policy spiral over whether to panic or compete.
    Also in this episode: Google's new Gemini Flash models and the still-missing Gemini 3.5 Pro, publishers like USA Today and People Inc. weighing whether to block Google search entirely, Netflix revealing 300 titles used generative AI this year, AI companies buying and destroying millions of old books for training data, Samsung's AI glasses, the Suno hack, 1Password letting Claude log in for you, Thinking Machines' Inkling model, and NotebookLM becoming Gemini Notebook.

    Episode 136

    Show notes

    This week Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis dig into RAMageddon, the global memory shortage that just forced Apple to raise prices by 20% across Macs, iPads, and even the Apple TV. Jefferies warns memory prices will surge another 50% this quarter with no relief until 2028, GoPro says it may not survive, and IDC projects the largest smartphone market decline ever.
    Then both Anthropic and OpenAI released their most powerful models in the same week, both under government-imposed restrictions, while China's Zhipu AI gave away a model that matches some of those same capabilities for free.
    Also in this episode: Google capped Meta's Gemini access over compute limits, Qualcomm made a big data center play with Meta as its anchor customer, Google baked computer use into Gemini 3.5 Flash, a new $500M nonprofit launched to address AI job displacement, and OpenAI unveiled its first custom inference chip.

    Also in this episode: how preferred sources and subscriptions fit into AI search, Jeff challenges Liz on filter bubbles, and Liz's take on whether "search" is even the right word anymore. New episodes every Wednesday at aiinside.show.
