Zuckerberg's AI Clone Is on the Clock

This week Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis dig into the AI stories you couldn't miss: Zuckerberg reportedly built a digital clone of himself to sit in on company meetings, Apple is quietly developing premium AI smartglasses in four frame styles for 2027, and the Wayback Machine is facing a real threat as major news organizations block it over AI training concerns.
Also in this episode: OpenAI released a cybersecurity model to a small group of trusted partners, Google launched a desktop AI app, Gemini for Mac, Chrome Skills, and Gemini Notebooks all in one week, shoe brand Allbirds sold for $39 million and rebranded as AI compute company NewBird AI, and a 17-year-old in India built a human-only chatbot that hit 25 million visitors.
