Is Meta Done Sharing Their AI?

The Daily AI Show
In this episode, the hosts explore the latest developments in frontier AI, from Meta's shift toward closed, self-improving systems and a major OpenAI security incident to new accessibility grants for AI glasses and an open-source voice cloning competitor. They also discuss the practical challenges of live voice in coding tools, the rise of teleoperated robots for remote labor, and a hands-on experiment with Claude Code's Opus 5 that showcases autonomous problem-solving and the power of reusable AI memory.
