Show Notes
This episode focused on where AI agents are headed next, from Perplexity’s “Computer” feature to NVIDIA-backed agent systems and local-first claw architectures. The group compared lightweight agent demos with more meaningful research and workflow use cases, then shifted into ElevenLabs’ broader creative platform push and the first reported deployment of humanoid combat robots in Ukraine. The back half of the show turned toward AI as a mediator in human relationships, including whether agents could help reduce conflict or instead weaken people’s own communication skills. The final discussion looked at AI fluency in education and whether heavy AI use is starting to erode core reading and critical thinking skills.
