Intro — five new science and tech stories

0:00So, Microsoft products, they're the bane of everyone's existence at work. And that work also includes astronauts going to the moon. Okay, so did you see this leak story about Claude code? So, do I just have Claude's LLM now or what? Not quite, but let's understand what actually happened. So, your cat could be the key for cancer research in humans. Very interesting. Project Hail Mary, everyone's complaining about the centrifuge scene. I think there's something even deeper that's wrong. Hello internet, this is your Captain's speaking. Lester Nare joined as always by my co-host and our resident PhD Christian Chaudhary. Welcome back to another rundown episode where we're

0:40going to just cover five new both science and tech stories this week just at a super high level. And we have some some interesting stories to cover. We're going to start off with the Artemis launch that took off yesterday after several delays. It was on April 1st, but this is not an April Fools Fools joke. It definitely did take off. We're going to follow that up with the very viral leak story about Claude the Anthropic model leaking. Oh my god, does this mean we get to use AI for free? We're going to talk about what exactly happened and why. There's some interesting subtle details about what actually transpired with the Claude leak that happened earlier this week. There's a major new science paper that suggests that cats

Uh there's a trend you may be sensing cuz we're going to have another leak story about an iPhone spyware tool, two of them actually, that have leaked onto the public internet. And this is sort of this trend of more nation-state level elite spyware tools now becoming more accessible commercially. What does it mean for you if you're an iPhone user? And we will then wrap up with a quick review of the science in Project Hail Mary, the ultra-popular new
