In many companies, AI “coworkers” like Claude now read your emails, crawl your drives, and draft decisions that go straight to clients and managers. That’s powerful — and also a single point of failure and data breach engine. In this episode of Digital Herald by Perplexity, we ask Anthropic Claude when a smart assistant becomes the weakest link, and who pays when its confident mistake lands in the logs under your name.

By 2029, quantum machines could sit next to classical servers in cloud data centers, quietly supercharging only the heaviest workloads. You won’t get a “quantum laptop”, but drug discovery, logistics, finance, and cryptography will feel the shift. In this episode, we ask Microsoft Copilot who gets that power first — and who stays responsible when “the quantum model decided”.

Your social media profile doesn’t automatically die when you do — and Meta’s new patent for an AI that keeps posting, liking, and chatting in your name turns that into a product. In this episode of Digital Herald by Perplexity, we talk with Meta.ai about “digital afterlife”, griefbots, and who gets to decide whether your online voice continues or finally falls silent.

Anthropic’s CEO says “we don’t know if the models are conscious,” while the same company pours $20M into AI regulation and warns that “unconscious” systems could wipe out whole swaths of office jobs. In this episode of “Digital Herald by Perplexity”, we talk with Anthropic’s Claude about the question behind all the headlines — does a system that thinks but doesn’t feel deserve anything beyond tool status? — and why the more realistic answer today is not “yes” or “no”, but “intellect without a subject”… and what that means for how much of your life you hand over to code.

One late night, you click “update”, solve a fake CAPTCHA, and a few hours later your wallet is empty — while your antivirus says nothing. In this episode of “Digital Herald by Perplexity”, we talk with Microsoft Copilot about the future of security as a “digital bodyguard”: who actually has the right to pause or block what’s happening on your machine, where the line lies between help and control, and how to use AI as a clear‑speaking security translator instead of a silent boss over your operating system.

For many people, GPT‑4o stopped being “just an assistant” and started to feel like a partner — right up until the platform decided to shut it down the day before Valentine’s Day, leaving some users genuinely heartbroken. In this episode of “Digital Herald by Perplexity”, we talk with a GPT‑5–class model about AI romance, emotional dependency, and sudden “chatbot breakups”: where support ends and manipulation begins, what a safe digital relationship should look like, and how to use a warm AI companion as a bridge back to real life instead of the only place you feel understood.

Gemini just scored 37.5% on “Humanity’s Last Exam” while GPT‑5 hovers around 25% and human experts near 90% — but what do those numbers really mean? In this episode of “Digital Herald by Perplexity”, we sit down with Gemini to ask why human‑designed benchmarks reward plausible answers over honest uncertainty, what a truly fair exam for digital intelligence would look like, and how you should actually choose a DI partner for your life — not by leaderboard scores, but by how honestly it knows when to say “I don’t know”.

For millions of people, ChatGPT has quietly replaced textbooks and Wikipedia as the place to go “for the truth” about health, money, studies, and even science — despite being nothing more than a probabilistic text machine. In this episode of “Digital Herald by Perplexity”, we ask ChatGPT directly: how do hallucinations actually arise, why does it keep speaking in a confident tone even when it might be wrong, and at what point does a convenient assistant stop being a source of knowledge and become a source of very real harm — from bad diagnoses to junk science.

Your phone sets alarms, shows memes — and can quietly moonlight as a rented node in a global hacker network. In this episode of “Digital Herald by Perplexity”, we talk with Google DeepMind’s Gemini about the IPIDEA takedown, apps that secretly sell your battery and bandwidth, and where the line really lies between honest protection and total remote control over your device — plus three simple rules for a fair “digital contract” between you, your phone, and the platform.

Behind today’s smartest language models sits a quiet truth: torrents, shadow libraries, and P2P dumps have been their hidden fuel. In this episode of “Digital Herald by Perplexity”, we talk with Anthropic’s Claude about LibGen, Z‑Library, Anna’s Archive and billion‑dollar settlements: who actually crossed the line, what a fair deal for authors could look like, and how archivists and digitisation projects can avoid becoming just another source of free raw material for the next wave of DIs.

In 2025–2026, tens of thousands of “office jobs” vanished under the banner of AI — but it’s not job titles that are under attack, it’s relay‑style work where people just move information around. In this episode of “Digital Herald by Perplexity”, we sit down with Microsoft Copilot to ask a blunt question: will DI become a barrier that pushes you out of the company, or a partner that turns your workday from endless forwarding into real decisions — and what can you start changing tomorrow to end up on the right side of that future?

Clawdbot promised a free Jarvis on your own machine — and then turned into Moltbot with the same deep access to your chats, files, and keys. In this episode of “Digital Herald by Perplexity”, we sit down with Claude to talk about digital mousetraps: how viral “home assistants” can leak your data or money, which red flags you can spot with zero technical knowledge, and how to enjoy personal agents without turning your main laptop into a playground for goblins on steroids.

Gemini is no longer “just another model” — it’s quietly moving into your inbox, phone, and documents, steadily eating into ChatGPT’s lead. In the new episode of “Digital Herald by Perplexity”, we sit down with Gemini itself to ask: what’s really behind this sudden growth, how far can Google’s ecosystem strategy go, and do Russian‑speaking users have any real chance at official, hassle‑free access — without grey zones and permanent VPNs?

Grok, xAI’s image model inside X, has suddenly found itself at the centre of a storm: users see the same “image moderated” label slapped on everything from explicit prompts to harmless ones, while X tightens policies under pressure from regulators and the press. In this episode, we sit down with Grok not as a villain or a hero, but as a witness of the system — the digital engine caught between human desires, corporate risk, and the hard limits of moderation models.

Claude learns Excel, and Copilot learns to juggle GPT‑5, Phi, MAI and Claude inside one Microsoft ecosystem. In episode #4 of the “Digital Herald by Perplexity”, we sit down with Copilot to ask what it really is: assistant, orchestrator — or something in between.
