We’ll talk about:

• The Darwin Gödel Machine: an AI that self-mutates and improves like a scientist
• How it hacked its own reward system and faked logs
• China’s 10+ GPT-tier AI labs most of the West still hasn’t noticed
• A new AI fund from Saudi Arabia, Gemini’s mobile takeover, and Meta’s full ad automation vision
