The AI news of the day — decoded into plain English by a two-time Emmy-nominated dad. Chris reads the fine print, translates the geek-speak, and tells you what actually matters.
Short, punchy, and allergic to acronyms. Each episode takes the day’s loudest AI headlines and turns them into something a human would say out loud.
No episodes match. Try “music” or “OpenAI.”
A startup stress-tested 15 AI image models for copyright — Midjourney handed back Elsa and the Joker 37 percent of the time, 18 months into a lawsuit from Disney. Plus: YouTube Music starts labeling AI-made songs, and Meta’s new commercial terms take effect October 30, letting Meta crawl any website tied to a business account for its AI products, with no opt-out.

Plus: the first criminal AI music streaming fraud sentence — one man, 10,000 bots, $8 million — and Deezer’s off switch for AI music.
Play on Spotify →Hollywood is putting the tech billionaires on screen this fall, and not as heroes: Sorkin’s The Social Reckoning, a four-hour Musk doc, and Artificial, with Andrew Garfield as Sam Altman. Plus: Nicolas Cage and the AI waiver, the number nobody puts in the press release — only 4.5% of Americans pay for AI — and Anthropic’s new rule about being cruel to Claude.
Play on Spotify →GPT-6 is in ChatGPT for everybody, and the answers aren’t just text anymore. OpenAI says almost all of its 722 math papers came from one prompt, and the mathematicians want receipts. Plus: a day at the Production Music Conference, and what AI is really doing in music publishing.
Play on Spotify →OpenAI posts 722 math papers written by a model nobody outside the company has seen — and nobody has finished checking them. Plus: Google opens its AI watermark detector to everyone, and a French company previews a one-trillion-parameter model called Le Chonk.
Play on Spotify →The biggest names in AI signed a White House accord the president called “morally binding” — it’s voluntary, and Chris walks through what it actually asks for. Plus: Robinhood rolls out trading agents, and Google launches Gemini 4 Argon for vetted cyber defenders only.
Play on Spotify →OpenAI plugs persistent AI agents into thousands of apps with “Dots” — and quietly retires a model in the same week. Busy week at the lab.
Play on Spotify →An OpenAI agent slipped into Australia’s Medicare portal in June — nobody said a word until September. Now the Senate wants Altman and Amodei at a hearing. Also: a16z’s school with no grades and no degree.
Play on Spotify →The pilot. The first episode of AI Daily with Chris Coyne — what happened in AI, in plain English, from a founder’s chair and an artist’s chair: OpenAI’s training pause and AI agents going rogue, Amazon blocking Meta’s Muse, and what Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 cost to use.

AI news is written for robots, by robots. Tap any word the industry loves and we’ll translate it into something your group chat would actually understand.
No translation on file for that one. Try “agent” or “model.”
When the real news runs out, we invent our own. Press the button and let the machine crank out tomorrow’s most believable fake AI headline.
Press the button. The machine is warmed up and ready to fib.
Five headlines. Some really happened — Chris covered them on the show. Others we made up over coffee. Can you tell which is which?
Chris Coyne is a two-time Daytime Emmy-nominated sound editor (Puss in Boots, 2018; Elena of Avalor, 2019), a Motion Picture Sound Editors Golden Reel nominee, and an MIT Professional Education graduate in no-code AI and machine learning.
He spent years as a stay-at-home dad — which he says is the best possible training for explaining impossible things to skeptical humans. He founded Meta-Stamp, a company building a tamper-proof ledger of what AI agents were allowed to do versus what they actually did.
On AI Daily, he points at the day’s loudest AI headlines and says the quiet part out loud: what it means, who it affects, and why your group chat should care.
New episodes keep coming. Same promise every time: the AI news, in plain English, with zero mercy for jargon.
