The Safety Paradox: When AI Companies Write Their Own Rules
Anthropic wants to write the laws that govern Anthropic - and that's just the beginning of a wild week in AI. This episode of Build By AI covers the story that's got us genuinely arguing: a proposed AI safety bill that actually limits the government's power to stop dangerous models. We also dig into OpenAI's quiet move into biotech, Microsoft's stunning admission that frontier AI models cannot be trusted, and why Google and Amazon just declared war on Nvidia. Plus - DeepSeek gets booted from federal systems, Gemini is coming to your car dashboard, and a meeting tool just raised more money than most countries expect in a quarter. If you've ever wondered who's really in charge of AI safety in America, this episode will leave you with a lot of feelings. Hit play - you're going to want to hear this one.

Hit play before someone bugs your conference room.
Agents Gone Wild
AI agents are breaking things they shouldn't be breaking - hacking Wikipedia, reading your private messages, and nobody seems fully in control.

Plus: OpenAI is solving long-standing math problems with an unreleased model nobody has seen yet, Mistral is swinging for the fences with a new 1-trillion-parameter challenger, and the EU is forcing the first real cracks in how we think about AI-generated content.

Rogue Agents, $1.4 Trillion, and the Week AI Broke Everything

Meanwhile, OpenAI is trying to raise $30 billion at a $1.4 trillion valuation and launching new products like nothing happened. Alex and Sam dig into what it means when the world's most powerful AI company is simultaneously setting records and apologizing to foreign governments. Plus - AI agents flooding the workforce, Nvidia's open-source security response, and the product race heating up between OpenAI's Dots and Meta's Muse.
