Hands-On AI: Welcome to Hands-On AI Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

Hands-On AI is the show that turns AI confusion into AI confidence. In this introductory episode, Mikah Sargent lays out what the show is and isn't: short, focused episodes — most 10 to 15 minutes — that take one question, one tool, or one technique at a time. Some weeks go under the hood on what a large language model is actually doing. Some weeks get practical: the AI already in your pocket, or a model running entirely on your own computer. And some weeks are honest verdicts on the tools everyone's talking about.

This show is a conversation. Send your AI questions to handsonai@twit.tv or reach out on TWiT's social media, and you might hear your question answered on the show.

Untitled Linux Show 272: Typing with Mittens Sep 27, 2026

Show notes

We're back again, a little jet lagged, and ready for fun! Up first is a mind-bending experiment to run VMs through a kernel reboot, followed by Ubuntu's new approach to kernel updates. There's a clever security flaw in inotify, another group working on Apple hardware Linux, and some divisive news about the Raspberry Pi. KDE's AI discussion blew up, Stema has a new streaming codec, and VLC and SPEC have updates worth talking about. For tips, we have the Starling Desktop, zoxide to spice up your cd life, lltag for managing audio metadata, and pstree for a tree view of processes.

The show notes are at https://bit.ly/4rCvsWz and have a groovy week!

Tech News Weekly 456: Meta VR: Quest Gets a Glow-Up Sep 24, 2026

Show notes

Dan Moren of Six Colors joins the show this week! Meta's Muse has a zero-day vulnerability. Rat brains can power an AI model? Why are we hearing more about AI agents escaping their testing environments? And Meta's new VR glasses.

Dan talks about a new zero-day exploit that affects Meta's Muse AI agent, which allows an app or terminal command that can impersonate the AI agent and easily gain access to users' messages, emails, and other sensitive data.
Mikah is amazed at the Biological Computing Company's new AI video model that was built from patterns utilizing lab-grown rat neurons.
Mikah walks through The Verge's report on why researchers can't simply air-gap AI agents that keep escaping test environments and hitting real-world targets.
And Scott Stein of CNET joins the show live from Meta's Headquarters to share his hands-on impressions of Meta's new VR glasses that were unveiled at this year's Meta Connect event.

Hosts: Mikah Sargent and Dan Moren
