Artemis II, Claude Code Leak, iPhone Spyware & Project Hail Mary (EP 36)
Notas do episódio
Hosted by Lester Nare and Krishna Choudhary, this rundown episode covers five new science and tech stories at a high level: NASA’s Artemis 2 moon mission, what actually leaked in the Claude Code incident, a new cancer genomics paper suggesting domesticated cats may be unusually useful real-world models for human cancer, two leaked iPhone spyware toolkits, and a science-focused review of Project Hail Mary.
Summary
Artemis 2 is finally flying — why this mission matters, why it is not landing yet, and why the moon race is back in geopolitical focus.
Claude Code leaked, but not Claude itself — what was exposed, why people got confused, and why the distinction between source code and model weights matters.
Cats and cancer — why domesticated cats may offer a more realistic environmental cancer model than traditional lab rodents.
iPhone spyware in the wild — what Dark Sword and Coruna are, what they can do, and why this signals a broader shift in cyber risk.
Project Hail Mary science review — what the film gets right, what it gets wrong, and which scientific liberties are hardest to buy.
