## Resource

In this episode, we cover Anthropic's candid engineering post on containing Claude agents and capping the "blast radius" of autonomous AI, plus Demis Hassabis tightening DeepMind's AGI timeline to as early as 2029 and calling today's agent era a "practice run." We also dig into the Gemini API key security mess, including a $10,000 surprise bill and Google Cloud's warnings about shadow AI, and review Amazon’s Bee wearable as a real-world test of ambient always-listening AI. Expect sharp insights on agent security, frontier lab strategy from Anthropic and Google DeepMind, developer risks with Gemini APIs, and the social friction around Amazon's consumer AI hardware. https://www.aiconvocast.com Help support the podcast by using our affiliate links: Eleven Labs: https://try.elevenlabs.io/ibl30sgkibkv Disclaimer: This podcast is an independent production and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic, Google, DeepMind, Amazon, or any other entities mentioned unless explicitly mentioned.
