The Latest with Brad Rochefort and David Leighton Episode 58

Описание: 🎙️ The AI landscape is shifting FAST — and the cracks are starting to show. This week on The Latest, Brad and David break down the growing tension between "automate everything" and the rising AI backlash. YouTube's new GIST filter is shadow-banning cookie-cutter AI content, Google ships WebMCP (a new language for AI-to-website communication), ByteDance drops a jaw-dropping video generator, and a near-telepathic AI wearable translates your THOUGHTS into other languages. Plus: Apple loses $200B over Siri delays, Microsoft's AI CEO says white-collar tasks get automated in 18 months, and why starting AI NOW might actually be better than starting early.
