The March 11, 2026 episode opens with a discussion about public skepticism toward AI, using polling data to frame how AI is being perceived politically and socially. The hosts then move through several major stories, including Yann LeCun’s new venture Advanced Machine Intelligence, a humorous token-cost comparison clip, and Andre Karpathy’s open-source auto research project for AI-driven model improvement. Later segments focus on self-improving agents, multi-model workflows and skills, and an AI-in-science feature on Zephyrus, a system that lets researchers query weather and climate data in plain English. The episode closes with a broader reflection on conversational access to complex scientific data and how that could reshape research workflows.
