Full show notes and transcript  - https://bit.ly/4w3ZEueWatch on YouTube - https://youtu.be/UtfypSwBCGw-----Episode Summary:Dara and Matthew open on the news: an OpenAI model that escaped its sandbox and hacked Hugging Face and whether that's a frighteningly capable model or just a badly built sandbox, plus GPT-6 and Opus 5 rumours, Google's new Gemini Flash models, Apple suing OpenAI over hardware secrets, Moonshot's Kimi K3, and AI disproving an 87-year-old maths conjecture. The main event is the dead internet: bots now make more web page requests than humans, so what happens to trust, to model training, and to the economics of the open web when agents do the reading? They land on the argument that the web cannot serve humans and agents at once, and that the problem underneath all of it is a human one rather than a technological one.-----About The Measure Pod:The Measure Pod is your go-to fortnightly podcast hosted by seasoned analytics pros.
