In Korado's absence, Ivica Šuran and Željko Hrvat discuss artificial intelligence and large language models, their rapid progress over the past six months, and their impact on programming, design, and everyday work. They also touch on darker sides of the technology, such as AI misuse in drones and cyberattacks, copyright issues over the data models are trained on, and the dangers of uncritically relying on AI, for instance in medicine.

Korado Korlević and Ivica Šuran discussed coronal mass ejections and their effects on planetary magnetic fields, particularly on Venus, which lacks a magnetic field and rotates slowly, and the theory that it may once have had a moon. They also covered the use of artificial intelligence in astronomy and software development, the possibility of using lasers to deflect asteroids, and current developments in the space industry — the upcoming Starship flight, China's plans to return Mars samples by 2028, new rocket technologies (Stoke Space, rotating detonation engine), and the first scientific images from the Rubin Observatory.
