Frontier agent breaches at Hugging Face and Anthropic, an unreleased OpenAI model clearing ten long-standing math problems, the EU AI Act going live, and a Ninth Circuit ruling that your shopping agent is legally you. Tools run from Prime Agent to Colibri, which gets a 744-billion-parameter model running on 25 gigs of RAM, plus an old answering-machine handset used to collect unusually honest feedback at a festival. The deep dive goes back to first principles on input / output - punch-card looms, garbage in garbage out, model collapse, and the finding that over half of web articles are now primarily AI-generated, with 90% synthetic predicted by the end of 2026. Exploring the argument that human input and human output get more valuable the scarcer they become.TIMESTAMPS(00:00:00) Cold open
