AI Is Eating Its Own Tail

This week Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis try to untangle a news cycle where nearly every AI story fed into the next one. Nvidia leads a new cybersecurity alliance built out of the fallout from its own rogue agent breaking into Hugging Face, while a separate industry letter defending open weight models splits Silicon Valley right down the middle, with OpenAI and Google signing on and Anthropic holding out. Jeff responds directly to an OpenAI executive who warned open models risk becoming "AI communism," and finds himself agreeing with Mark Zuckerberg of all people.
Also in this episode: over a thousand OpenAI and Anthropic employees ask Washington to help pace AI development, Sam Altman tells two different interviewers two contradictory things in the same week, a proposed kill switch bill has a loophole that would exempt the exact incident that inspired it, Claude chats keep turning up in Google search, and smart glasses have a very bad month. New episodes every Wednesday at aiinside.show.
