Listen Later

AI in education just level-upped—again. In this fast-moving finale for July we unpack:

00:00 – 02:10  LMS Wars
               OpenAI × Canvas vs Anthropic × Panopto — platform lock-in is coming.
02:10 – 03:45  Inverse-Scaling Meltdown
               New Anthropic study shows more compute can make Claude & GPT-4o worse thinkers.
03:45 – 05:20  ChatGPT Psychosis Case
               When nonstop AI validation outweighs safety: how it landed one user in hospital.
05:20 – 07:40  YouTube Shorts’ AI Playground
               Photo-to-video, Veo-powered effects & an “AI Playground” for 1.5 B users—
               creative liberation or content slop?
07:40 – 09:35  Bots Win Gold at the IMO
               DeepMind Gemini & an OpenAI model score 35/42 at the International Math Olympiad.
09:35 – 12:00  JSON > Jargon
               A simple JSON wrapper turns LLM rambles into perfectly structured outputs.
12:00 – 24:50  The UX of AI
               From tab-sprawl fatigue to Perplexity’s Comet browser & the coming “Intent Inbox.”
               Midjourney’s button-driven creativity vs chat-box paralysis.
24:50 – End    Homework
               Count your AI tabs — if it’s more than three, AI is using *you*.
