Sir, That's My Hard Drive

Google Chrome has been quietly installing a 4-gigabyte AI model on your device. Without asking. And if you find it and delete it? It comes back. Frederick Gerber breaks down the most personally invasive tech story of the year — including the detail that the big AI button you actually see in Chrome isn't even using it. Then: Anthropic's revenue just lapped OpenAI's for the first time, and the time window to patch a newly discovered software vulnerability has collapsed from 700 days to 44. Plus the under-the-radar story nobody's connecting: The Consent Gap — the industry-wide pattern of AI features that sound privacy-forward and aren't. Three predictions, all on the record. And the person to watch is nine years old, already running a company, and has certificates from Harvard, Stanford, MIT, and Wharton.
