A fast-moving cut of the biggest moments from Episode 2, covering:
The autonomy threshold — AI agents are finally doing real work without hand-holding. We unpack what Anthropic, Perplexity and Claude are pulling off right now, and where it still falls over.
The model wars are here — Mythos vs GPT-6, the noise around Spud, and why the frontier might not be where the action is.
Construction's consolidation moment — the acquisitions and mergers quietly redrawing the lines between tech and the built environment.
Safety, alignment and breach risk — the conversations the industry isn't having loudly enough, and why "human in the loop" is more than a slogan.
Practical, today-useful AI — scheduling, file management, longitudinal data — the unsexy wins compounding fastest.
Policy & sovereignty — the UK's sovereign AI fund and what international collaboration actually looks like.
