Can AI Help Save Earth?

Jyunmi Hatcher and Andy Halliday open with Anthropic’s Claude desktop update, focusing on the new built-in terminal and what it means for Claude Code workflows. They then move through Meta’s expanded Broadcom chip partnership, token maxing, Chrome skills, and Google’s Gemini Robotics ER. In the second half, Jyunmi shifts into an Earth Day science segment about GoFlow, an AI system for mapping ocean surface currents from satellite imagery. The episode closes with a longer discussion about AMOC, climate risk, Mars as an escape plan, and whether AI could eventually help humans make more ethical collective decisions.
