AI:AM LIVE — June 10, 2026 — Fable, AI Safety and Julius: Geoffrey Irving, Daniel Murfet, Rahul Sonwalkar

Claude Fable 5 launches and the hosts recalibrate live: benchmark asterisks, invisible production-safety nerfs, and the compute-financing race. Then Geoffrey Irving and Daniel Murfet choose the show to publicly launch Sequent, a major new nonprofit betting alignment needs theory plus automation before superintelligence arrives in two to three years. Rahul Sonwalkar of Julius closes with a candid read on what millions of real data-analysis runs reveal that benchmarks can't, and his agent-economy thesis: stablecoin toll roads, AI-maintained reputation layers, and letting Claude hire Julius for the data work.
