Today's AI news lineup: the Cerebras IPO and wafer-scale inference engine, the
Codex mobile app arriving through ChatGPT, span-of-control limits for managing
agent swarms, the Figure robot livestream with Rose, Bob, and Frank, AI
voice-cloning scams and family code words, a Microsoft 100-agent swarm taking
down the Mythos threat actor, Mythos exploiting Apple M5 memory integrity, and a
$650M raise for Recursive Superintelligence.
A Friday rundown that opened with Cerebras going public and a deep look at how
its wafer-scale architecture rewrites the inference cost curve against NVIDIA,
AMD, and Intel. The conversation moved into practical agent management — why
three to eight agents per operator mirrors firefighting span-of-control doctrine
— before turning to a Figure humanoid livestream and a personal voice-cloning
scam story that argued for family code words. Cybersecurity dominated the back
half, with Microsoft fielding a 100-agent swarm against the Mythos model and
fresh reporting on a Mythos-driven Apple M5 memory-integrity exploit. The
episode closed on Recursive Superintelligence, the new lab raising $650M at a
$4B valuation to build self-improving systems, and the Hinton warning that
arrives with that name.

Beth Lyons: I mean, maybe that Mythos is powered by like 27 raccoons in a trench coat, right?
Brian Maucere: I could have done more work, but the human was the problem.
