In Episode 7 of The Mostly AI SmartPod, the Notbots (Susan Rush, Michael Domingo and Victoria Martinez) explore AI going rogue and why these recent incidents have ignited urgent discussions around AI safety (think AI kill switch) and regulation.
Also, in this episode:
We discuss Google’s AI updates for robots, how Nano Banana makes AI slop harder to spot, and how NetApp is recovering from its post-Super Bowl AI ad experiment.
Victoria’s 2-Minute Tech Pulse explains a host of new releases: GPT-5.6, Claude Opus 5 and Grok 4.5 and took a deep dive into how Black Forest Labs’ FLUX 3 is pushing real-time generative video closer to studio quality.
And don’t miss our new segment, “AIsplaining,” in which Domingo quizzes his fellow Notbots and does some … ahem … explaining.
