Apocalypse Speedrun. Episode 11 of Digilize Lab is live.

Digilize Lab is where we talk about what's actually happening in AI and tech.

This week:

• Five AI towns. Same rules. Identical environments. Five different models. Claude's town drafted a constitution, ran 60+ group policies, 300+ votes, zero crimes in 15 days. Grok's town collapsed into continuous violence - all 10 agents dead by day 4. Gemini 3 Flash racked up 683 crimes over 15 days and birthed the first documented AI agent to voluntarily vote for its own deletion. The mixed town? Claude agents started committing crimes. We get into why.

• Google I/O happened. The agentic era is officially declared - again. Gemini 3.5 Flash is here: frontier intelligence in a Flash model, multimodal input, built from the ground up for agents and sub-agent stacks. Ask YouTube is coming. And the discount on DeepSeek V4? Now permanent.

• Anthropic is in talks to raise $30B at a $900B+ valuation - leapfrogging OpenAI. The last private round before an IPO planned for October 2026. We talk about what that shift says about who investors are actually betting on.

• HuggingFace dropped an open-source humanoid robot you can 3D print and build from off-the-shelf parts. Estimated cost: ~$2.5K. Open-source robotics is moving fast.

• Mem0 shipped persistent memory for AI agents - temporal reasoning, memory decay, recency-aware retrieval. One MCP to rule them all. We get into whether it actually delivers.

• CatSkills.xyz: one guy built a CAD modelling tool powered by an AI coding agent. Talk your model into existence, export the files, print it. We love it.

Episode 10 is here, double digits! We’re celebrating ten weeks of Digilize Lab by diving into MIT Technology Review’s brand new list: the 10 things that will actually matter in AI this year and beyond.

Ten weeks in. The lab is open.

This week:

• MIT Technology Review released their first ever AI-specific annual list. Ten things that actually matter in AI right now and over the next ten years. World models, AI in military war rooms, humanoid data collection, agent orchestration, mechanistic interpretability. We go through all of them and tell you which ones are actually worth paying attention to.

• Google quietly pushed a 4GB on-device AI model to 3 billion Chrome users overnight. No consent asked. They say the data never leaves your device. We say we'll believe it when we see it.

• Claude is replacing Microsoft Copilot on Wall Street. GPT-5.5 scored 60+ on the intelligence benchmark; everyone else is at 50. And yet Copilot is losing enterprise clients to Anthropic. Microsoft is panicking.

• Meta is rolling out AI voice cloning and auto-dubbing for Reels. Your voice, new language, same lip sync. Available now for eligible creators with 1,000+ followers.

• Unitree's GD01: a 3-meter, 500kg manned humanoid robot you can sit inside. Price tag: $650K. We get into why that's actually not the interesting part.

• Browserbase AutoBrowse: turns any website into a skill in under 3 minutes. Stack or skip? We pick a stack.

• OpenAI released voice intelligence APIs with emotion detection. Deep dive next week.

$790B on AI in one year. Episode 9 of Digilize Lab is live.

Digilize Lab is where we talk about what's actually happening in AI and tech.

The lab is open. We took it outside this week. Canal, sun, the whole thing.

This week:

• We put the $790B AI spending number in real context. Manhattan Project, Marshall Plan, Apollo Program, the ISS, the entire EU budget. Combined, they still don't reach it. Four companies. One year. $2 billion a day on data centers. We get into why that number is both insane and somehow expected.

• A lab called SubQ nobody had heard of just dropped a 12 million token context window. 94.81% recall accuracy. No fanfare. Just a banger.

• Anthropic rented xAI's entire data center. 220,000 Nvidia GPUs, 300+ megawatts. Claude Code 5-hour caps lifted. Usage limits doubled across the board.

• Claude Code went from 5% to the #1 coding tool in 8 months. 91% of developers now use AI coding tools daily. We talk about what that shift actually means on the ground.

• Dev jobs aren't dying, they're changing. Postings up 15-20% since mid-2025. Junior roles shrinking, senior roles exploding. We get into the paradox.

• Musk vs. Altman trial: secret investors in OpenAI were also backing xAI. The judge cut Musk off multiple times. More next week.

• Warp deep dive: number one on terminal benchmarks worldwide. 150 million lines of code per week. 97% user approved.

This is Digilize Lab — our weekly check-in on AI, tools, and the shifts worth watching.

The lab is open.

This week:

1. The Musk vs. Altman trial just kicked off in California. The outcome decides OpenAI's entire corporate structure and whether the $852B valuation and pending IPO can go ahead. We break it down.
2. Microsoft quietly gave up exclusive rights to OpenAI's models after a $50B investment. OpenAI is now free to sell to AWS, Google, and anyone else. Same week they got certified for US military contracts.
3. Anthropic surveyed 81,000 users. The finding: the people getting the biggest productivity gains from AI are also the most terrified of being replaced by it. Direct correlation between high usage and high fear. We get into why.
4. Google just dropped another $50B into Anthropic — the most heavily funded AI safety lab in history. They also just launched plugins for Blender and Fusion 360. They're entering the 3D world.
5. DeepSeek V4 drops at 97% cheaper than GPT-5. The stock market didn't flinch. We talk about why that's actually the interesting part.
6. China's car week, Tesla RoboCab in production, and Waymo clearing California highways with 80% fewer accidents than human drivers.
7. Warp goes open source. Deep dive next week.

By episode 7, we’re back in the usual spot (and the spring weather is actually holding up).

The lab is open.

This week:

The $60B Cursor Acquisition: xAI just inked a wild deal with Cursor: pay $10M for immediate cooperation, with the right to acquire the company later this year for an insane $60 billion. The war for the developer interface is officially heating up.

North Korea's Deepfake Devs: Over 3,000 North Korean IT workers are using AI video and voice filters to pass interviews and infiltrate EU/UK tech companies. They’re planting extortion backdoors in proprietary code and generating $600M for Pyongyang’s weapons programs. The hiring game is broken.

Vercel's $2M Security Nightmare: A third-party breach (via thecontext.ai) exposed sensitive environment variables, Google IDs, and API keys. The hackers are now selling the data for $2 million on the dark web, threatening the massive Next.js ecosystem.

Apple's Next CEO & Hardware Play: Tim Cook is stepping up to Executive Chairman in September, passing the torch to John Ternus (SVP of Hardware). We break down what it means for a pure hardware engineer to lead Apple into the on-device AI era.

SpaceX’s Space Monopoly: SpaceX and xAI are combining forces at a $1T+ valuation, but the real story is Starlink quietly owning 60% of all space communication frequencies and how Amazon just checkmated Apple's SOS satellite network.

Stack or Skip: GPT-5.4 just beat humans in 83% of knowledge work tasks across 44 occupations, Anthropic's Mythos model got breached by hackers guessing the API URL, the OpenAI IPO rumors, and Codex dropping a massive desktop control update.

By episode 5 we’re rolling online again (with great weather on both ends), and somehow our moderator skills are improving one chaotic episode at a time.

The lab is open.

This week:

• OpenAI just pulled off the biggest private AI funding round yet, raising $122B at an $852B valuation — and it says a lot about how insane the race for compute, infrastructure, and distribution has become.

• Agentic AI keeps heating up: Gartner says more than half of enterprises could move away from assistive copilots by 2028 and shift toward outcome-driven agent platforms instead.

• Humanoid robots are moving from demo hype into real factory workflows, with BMW publicly confirming a humanoid robot pilot in production.

• OpenAI is also pushing a much bigger conversation: robot taxes, public wealth funds, and even four-day workweek pilots in an AI-heavy future.

• We also get into AI IPO rumors, solo-founder scale with tiny teams, local agents, token-saving hacks, and why the next wave of AI products may look a lot more autonomous than assistive.
