AI Rollup: AI Robots and The $10T Arms Race

Welcome to the AI Rollup, from the Limitless Podcast. David, Ejaaz, and Josh break down the week’s most important AI headlines, from OpenAI’s $3B Windsurf acquisition and Google’s full-stack AI play, to Visa and Mastercard preparing for agentic commerce. We explore the state of robotics, major interpretability challenges, and why the race to AGI may outpace our ability to understand it. Plus: AI ASMR, glow-up GPT, and why autonomous agents still kinda suck. Stay curious, this one’s stacked.
