XYZ | “Too Powerful” AI, Nepo Baby Backlash, and Gross Pet Habits

from XYZ with Erik Zachary · host Erik Zachary

Anthropic says its latest AI model might be too powerful for the public, and we try to figure out if that’s impressive… or a little concerning. We take an XYZ Throwback that’ll hit your nostalgia just right, then get into the backlash surrounding Bill Gates’ nepo baby after a cheap move with influencers. We’ve got a Dumb of the Day that truly lives up to the name, a dive into the Church of the SubGenius, and we wrap things up with the gross (but relatable) things we all tolerate just to earn a little extra love from our pets.Hosted by renowned television and radio personality Erik Zachary and his co-host Jordan Foster, XYZ with Erik Zachary is your escape from ordinary radio. There's conversation, music, and plenty of surprises - but make no mistake, this isn't your parents' radio show. (Although Erik’s mom drops by weekly with her own hot takes). XYZ’s mission: eliminate every reason you've ever reached for the aux cord.XYZ with Erik Zachary is nationally syndicated daily across the U.S. and available worldwide via Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, and more.
