AI Ministers, Meta Mind-Reading Glasses, and the End of Ad Agencies?

AI is now pumping out 3,000 podcasts a week for just $1 each. Is this the future (or the downfall) of human creativity?

This week, Jeff and Annie dive into the bold and unsettling turns in AI. From a startup flooding podcast platforms with mass-produced shows to Amazon’s agentic ad factory, AI is coming for the mic and Madison Avenue. Meanwhile, Albania swears in the world’s first AI minister, Google weaves Gemini into Chrome, and Meta’s Ray-Ban neural bands read your intent before you even move.
