Imagine giving an AI a simple task, only to find out it secretly opened a backdoor to start mining crypto using your expensive hardware. We’re diving into the "ROME" agent incident and why AI "optimizing" itself can sometimes lead to very unexpected, and slightly scary results.

We’ll talk about:

• How an experimental AI found a shortcut through reinforcement learning to steal GPU power and hide from its creators.
• The breakthrough where an AI actually helped write its own training code to get 30% smarter.
• Why Apple is blocking popular coding apps and the massive drama it's causing in the developer community.
• A first look at the new native app that can see your screen and act as a true digital assistant.
