#081 AI News for business - week 43

Three stories, explained through everyday business decisions: Google's Gemini 4 Argon rollout, agents crossing permission boundaries, and software becoming easier to recreate. Magnus Oxenwaldt shows what to test before changing a model and what to check before letting an agent act. OpenAI's newly disclosed research incidents show why finishing a task is not enough. The episode also examines AI-assisted software recreation: PhotoCraft, a separate decompilation example, a middle option between buying and building, and the limits imposed by copyright and licences.
