THIS WEEK IN AI: Viral Doomer Tweet, Apple's New Releases, AI is Solving Math

This episode moves from fears about existential AI risk to Apple's latest hardware and finally to AI-assisted breakthroughs in mathematics and medicine.
Josh and Ejaaz examine why a warning about AI catastrophe went viral, whether frontier labs are racing recklessly toward AGI, and how alignment efforts might preserve human control. They then explore Apple's hardware strategy, especially the Apple Watch as a context-gathering platform and the foldable iPhone Duo as an AI-oriented device. The final sections turn to an alleged AI-assisted Navier–Stokes breakthrough, disputes over credit and data use, and the prospect that AI will transform scientific research, drug design, and everyday life.
