Episode Description

You ask an AI assistant for something, then change your mind halfway through -- and it clings to the first version. A new Microsoft study shows this isn't forgetting; it's bad bookkeeping, and even a perfect reminder of what you now want can't fully fix it. We break down why switching tasks is the killer, then turn to AI video: two fresh papers on why long clips melt into drift and cost, and one clean fix each. Plus the day's headlines -- the open-weights letter doubling to 50, the breach nobody's describing right, and a complete voice model the size of a photo.
