Is AI about to replace your developers... or your imagination?

We’ve just crossed a line — and business will never be the same. From Claude 4.5 writing 100% of its own code to Elon Musk casually dropping the “singularity” word, the last few weeks in AI have been pure acceleration.

In this solo Weekend News episode, host Isar Meitis dives into a whirlwind of groundbreaking announcements, insider scoops from X (formerly Twitter), and strategic shifts from the world’s top AI players — all pointing to one thing: the age of AI consumption is here, and the inflection point is now.

If you lead a business, manage a team, or want to stay ahead of the curve, this is your must-listen roadmap to what’s coming in 2026 — and what to do about it.

In this news, you'll discover:

• How Claude 4.5 is outperforming OpenAI's best — and what that means for coders and non-coders alike
• Why a top Google engineer admitted Anthropic's tool beat her team’s year-long work in an hour
• Elon Musk’s take on the singularity, AI-generated entertainment, and building space-based data centers (no, really)
• The hidden dangers of “vibe revenue” in AI startups — and why stickiness beats novelty
• How Nvidia's massive acquisition of Groq signals a new era of AI infrastructure
• The silent rise of AI-generated misinformation — and what it threatens in society
• Why OpenAI is hiring a “Head of Preparedness” to prevent catastrophic misuse of its models
• What Microsoft, Meta, and others are betting on as we enter the utility era of AI
