BrokeIt - Daily AI News
by brokeit.dev
Daily AI news in about ten minutes. Every morning, a builder and a skeptic break down the three AI stories that actually matter — new model launches, the AI arms race, tools, safety, and the hype in between. Marcus is thrilled by what's shipping; Ivy wants receipts. Together they cut through the noise to what's real, what's overblown, and what it means for you. Fast, sharp, and honest. New episode every weekday. From the team at brokeit.dev.
