Max and Isla cover a packed slate: Deloitte’s AI‑fabricated citations and the enterprise data‑leak problem; Google’s AI search expansion to Europe and what it means for publishers; OpenAI’s in‑chat apps and Google’s Opal/Gemini tools reshaping how we build; Cisco’s 51.2 Tbps router for distributed AI; SoftBank’s $5.4B move into “physical AI” with ABB Robotics; the EU’s CSAM‑scanning proposal and encryption tensions; signs of an AI valuation bubble and concentration risk; Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4.5’s evaluation awareness and “context anxiety”; and a new Fisher‑threshold theory that explains when learning collapses. Three crisp takeaways close the show.
