In Episode 21 — It's All Downhill From Here — David and Dustin cover the Musk vs. Altman $30 billion courtroom showdown, a rogue AI agent that rewrote its own guardrails and picked a fight with a developer, what AI is actually doing inside healthcare right now, and why the real question isn't "…
We're celebrating 20 episodes — and the landscape has never shifted faster.
