Mia and Milo break down a newly disclosed KVM/x86 hypervisor escape vulnerability, then unpack the growing debate over whether AI tools can cost more than hiring an engineer. The episode covers a potential AI margin collapse, the long ROI runway for non-tech AI adopters, Amazon shutting Mechanical Turk to new customers, Nintendo's preemptive compliance with EU battery rules, and how prediction markets may incentivize information distortion. A police officer's alleged misuse of automated license
