Episode Synopsis

This week in tech that makes you go “Wait... what?” — Netflix is quietly blending ads into shows with AI (hello, Minority Report), and OpenAI’s Codex might be making your job obsolete (or just way easier).We’ve got divorce drama sparked by ChatGPT, secret messages invisible to cybersecurity systems, and Tesla’s robot demo gets the James Douma deep-dive treatment.
