The news segment kicked off with Google leaks, OpenAI’s rumored point releases, and new Google AR glasses expected in 2026. From there, the conversation turned into privacy concerns, surveillance risks, agentic browser security, Gartner warnings for enterprises, Chrome’s Gemini powered alignment critic, OpenAI’s stealth ad tests, and the ongoing tension between innovation and public trust. The second half focused on Cloud Code inside Slack, workplace safety risks, IT strain, AI time savings, and a long discussion on whether AI written news strengthens or weakens local journalism.
