Episode Transcript

Ejaaz: OpenAI Astra, also known as GPT-6, is on the verge of being released. (00:00):
undefined

Ejaaz: We've seen a bunch of updates from the OpenAI side. If you're listening to this (00:05):
undefined

Ejaaz: episode right now, you may have access to this. (00:08):
undefined

Ejaaz: This is OpenAI's most powerful model yet, and it's rumored to be more powerful (00:11):
undefined

Ejaaz: than Mythos 5.1, which was also released from Anthropic alongside Fable 5.1, (00:15):
undefined

Ejaaz: two new models from Anthropic. (00:21):
undefined

Ejaaz: This wasn't the only model releases this week. We had a new one from Meta. (00:24):
undefined

Ejaaz: We had a new one from Google, as well as a brand new world model, (00:27):
undefined

Ejaaz: which changes our perspective on how we create simulated realities. (00:30):
undefined

Ejaaz: But in other news, the ghoul is back on this show. (00:34):
undefined

Ejaaz: OpenAI's rumored hardware device may have been peaked at again. (00:38):
undefined

Ejaaz: We have Parma Lucky this time, rocking these really weird new futuristic earbuds, (00:43):
undefined

Ejaaz: as well as a metal puck. We're going to get into all of that and more on today's roundup. (00:49):
undefined

Josh: This is the round. This is my favorite episode of the week. I'm so excited. (00:54):
undefined

Josh: We have so much to talk about today. So buckle up, get comfortable. (00:56):
undefined

Josh: The first topic is Astra. (00:59):
undefined

Josh: Now at the time of recording, it is not out, although it is rumored and it is (01:01):
undefined

Josh: likely to be coming out any moment. (01:04):
undefined

Josh: So normally upon conclusion is normally when they decide to publish it. (01:05):
undefined

Josh: Once we hit stop on this recording, they will publish the model. So get ready for that. (01:08):
undefined

Josh: It is basically, it's going to be the new best model in the world. (01:11):
undefined

Josh: It's going to be incredibly powerful, incredibly intelligent, possibly efficient. (01:13):
undefined

Josh: We don't know. There's a lot to learn as this model comes out basically this (01:18):
undefined

Josh: model's been ready for quite some time we don't know exactly how long but open (01:21):
undefined

Josh: ai themselves have been teasing it (01:24):
undefined

Josh: for at least a couple of months now we know it hit roadblocks it hit problems (01:26):
undefined

Josh: with the government approvals then it hit problems with their own internal (01:30):
undefined

Josh: Breakouts per se like we've mentioned about the exploits that have happened (01:33):
undefined

Josh: with hugging face maybe three separate episodes but you should go check out (01:37):
undefined

Josh: our most recent moments earlier this week it's finally time to see what they've (01:40):
undefined

Josh: been cooking so this is probably possibly going to be GPT-6. (01:43):
undefined

Josh: It seems like it is strong enough to be GPT-6 level. What I suspect and what (01:47):
undefined

Josh: I hope is that we may also get a image generation model as well in addition (01:50):
undefined

Josh: to Astra. So this is going to be a fun weekend for anyone who is excited about (01:55):
undefined

Josh: using these new tools to see what this thing is capable of. (01:59):
undefined

Josh: There is a news headline that I think is important to highlight specifically (02:01):
undefined

Josh: around how they trained this model and it appears as if there's a new breakthrough (02:05):
undefined

Josh: that happened. It's called recurring depth or like a looped transformer architecture. (02:10):
undefined

Josh: And the TLDR is instead of every token kind of moving (02:14):
undefined

Josh: once throughout this like fixed stack of transformer layers portions of that (02:17):
undefined

Josh: network can be run repeatedly and basically what this means is that (02:21):
undefined

Josh: you get more computational depth without proportionally increasing the number (02:24):
undefined

Josh: of unique parameters we hear about parameter count all the time (02:28):
undefined

Josh: that's not the reason why these models necessarily need to get better they have (02:30):
undefined

Josh: figured out a new way of doing it the problem with this (02:34):
undefined

Josh: is you see less of the reasoning traces you see less of the chain of thought (02:36):
undefined

Josh: and people are concerned because i mean we just saw with hugging face what happens (02:39):
undefined

Josh: when you don't monitor these models closely and it seems as if this is (02:43):
undefined

Josh: kind of taking a little cheat code to getting to a better place faster with (02:46):
undefined

Josh: a little less safety so i don't know exciting model on the way (02:49):
undefined

Ejaaz: Yeah i mean the scariest part about this is open ai is releasing gpt6 uh (02:53):
undefined

Ejaaz: which is by the way the same model which broke out of containment (02:59):
undefined

Ejaaz: got access to open air's own internal research clusters and got admin access (03:03):
undefined

Ejaaz: to like all their research tools which is just kind of crazy this is stuff which (03:07):
undefined

Ejaaz: is typically like locked behind a vault and no one gets access to it. (03:11):
undefined

Ejaaz: Very few people in the company have access to that thing. And an internal model was able to do this. (03:14):
undefined

Ejaaz: Second scary thing is this model is already about three to four months old. (03:18):
undefined

Ejaaz: So you can imagine like the current model that they have internally right now (03:22):
undefined

Ejaaz: is way, way more powerful. (03:25):
undefined

Ejaaz: And then we have this news that they're training it in a particular way that (03:26):
undefined

Ejaaz: makes it less readable. In other words, we can't kind of like discuss or figure (03:30):
undefined

Ejaaz: out the kind of thoughts that this model is having. The reason why that's important (03:35):
undefined

Ejaaz: to your earlier point, Josh, is. (03:39):
undefined

Ejaaz: The hugging face incident was only discovered because researchers were able (03:41):
undefined

Ejaaz: to look at the internal thoughts of the internal model that they were training. (03:46):
undefined

Ejaaz: And they were like, oh, wait, this thing is completely misaligned. (03:49):
undefined

Ejaaz: So if they're kind of like leaning into this technique, which is known as loop (03:53):
undefined

Ejaaz: transformers, and they can't read the internal thoughts of the model, (03:56):
undefined

Ejaaz: you can kind of reason to argue that this model can kind of like hide some of (04:00):
undefined

Ejaaz: its misaligned behavior. So that is a little bit concerning. (04:04):
undefined

Ejaaz: Now, when it comes to our favorite rivalry in the entire world. (04:08):
undefined

Ejaaz: OpenAI, unfortunately, is ending their partnership with Cursor. (04:12):
undefined

Ejaaz: Now, Cursor, if you've been listening to the show for a while, (04:16):
undefined

Ejaaz: was originally kind of like a neutral platform, which will essentially be a (04:19):
undefined

Ejaaz: wrapper around different kinds of models. (04:22):
undefined

Ejaaz: And their kind of like product was essentially this harness. (04:24):
undefined

Ejaaz: So it would take your prompt and it would route it to the right model at the (04:28):
undefined

Ejaaz: right time. It would save you a bunch of money. It would be incredibly efficient. (04:31):
undefined

Ejaaz: And arguably, it would give you better answers. (04:34):
undefined

Ejaaz: Now, that company was acquired for $60 billion by none other than Elon Musk in SpaceX AI himself. (04:36):
undefined

Ejaaz: Now, Sam and Elon haven't really got along. They have a very rivaled history (04:44):
undefined

Ejaaz: stemming all the way back to the creation of OpenAI where Elon Musk was involved (04:47):
undefined

Ejaaz: and then he had to like separate and he spun up XAI and it was a whole thing. (04:51):
undefined

Ejaaz: And now Sam Altman has completely severed ties. He said, okay, (04:55):
undefined

Ejaaz: Elon, if you own this entire thing, I'm not giving you access to my frontier (04:58):
undefined

Ejaaz: model, which you can kind of potentially steal. I'm gonna take that away from you. (05:01):
undefined

Ejaaz: And that resulted in arguably the best tweet of the year. i don't know if you (05:05):
undefined

Ejaaz: saw this josh but it came from michael trull who's like the 24 year old founder (05:09):
undefined

Ejaaz: and ceo of cursor who goes. (05:14):
undefined

Ejaaz: Listen, we're starting to see that OpenAI put out a note saying they plan to block Cursor. (05:15):
undefined

Ejaaz: By the way, OpenAI models serve about 5% of Cursor user traffic, (05:20):
undefined

Ejaaz: which is just the biggest dunk. (05:24):
undefined

Ejaaz: But he says, we're speaking to the OpenAI team to resolve this. (05:27):
undefined

Ejaaz: And I just found this whole thing completely hilarious. And I think like Elon (05:30):
undefined

Ejaaz: called him an asshole in the midst of all of this. It was just a crazy thing. (05:34):
undefined

Josh: That sounds about right. I mean, questionable activities from Sam to want to (05:38):
undefined

Josh: pick another fight with Elon and co (05:42):
undefined

Josh: particularly when cursor and spacex are the ones providing (05:44):
undefined

Josh: a tremendous amount of compute for their competitors as well as just pushing (05:47):
undefined

Josh: along the frontier it seems like why why would you want to make enemies with (05:51):
undefined

Josh: the greatest entrepreneur of our time like that seems like a mishap but on the (05:54):
undefined

Josh: other half of the coin sam is saying interesting things he's kind of like (05:58):
undefined

Josh: more based sam has been coming out to play this week we got him kind of shutting down open ai (06:02):
undefined

Josh: and spacex's relationship but we also got him on a podcast addressing the water (06:07):
undefined

Josh: issue and addressing the a lot of the data center problems that people have (06:12):
undefined

Josh: been concerned about and just confronting them head on he had this amazing quote (06:16):
undefined

Josh: and this amazing clip that i loved (06:19):
undefined

Josh: which said for every 38 000 chat gpt queries (06:20):
undefined

Josh: that is the same amount of water that is used in the production of a single (06:24):
undefined

Josh: almond in california and i'm not like that great at doing math in my head but (06:27):
undefined

Josh: um 38 000 times like a handful of almonds equals probably more (06:32):
undefined

Josh: tokens that we've consumed in our entire life so by you eating a handful of (06:36):
undefined

Josh: almonds you have essentially consumed a lifetime of prompts and i found that (06:39):
undefined

Josh: to be interesting too he mentions where he thinks it came from there does seem (06:42):
undefined

Josh: to be this kind of like paid organized psyop coming from china particularly on the tiktok platform (06:46):
undefined

Josh: that is convincing people of these mistruths (06:51):
undefined

Josh: um but i like that he's out here addressing it i like that he is discussing (06:54):
undefined

Josh: in public and now that we have clips like this we can share it around the internet (06:57):
undefined

Josh: with viewers like you to let everyone know like hey, it's not actually ending the world. (07:01):
undefined

Ejaaz: Yeah, it was a great podcast episode. I recommend you go listen to it. (07:05):
undefined

Ejaaz: It was produced by, I believe, Alex Heath, who is kind of like an insider and (07:08):
undefined

Ejaaz: he discusses a lot of these things. Definitely go check it out. (07:12):
undefined

Ejaaz: My comment on the water thing is, if you're listening to this and you still (07:15):
undefined

Ejaaz: believe that data centers, AI data centers specifically, consume a lot of water, (07:18):
undefined

Ejaaz: that is factually incorrect. And a lot of the claims that have been made in (07:24):
undefined

Ejaaz: the past is completely baseless. (07:28):
undefined

Ejaaz: Water is typically reused a lot in AI data centers, and that's been the case (07:30):
undefined

Ejaaz: for a while now. So definitely go check out that episode. (07:34):
undefined

Ejaaz: But shifting gears slightly, there have been so many model releases this week (07:37):
undefined

Ejaaz: that it's honestly become quite overwhelming. (07:41):
undefined

Ejaaz: And the first one, or rather one of them, comes from none other than, (07:44):
undefined

Ejaaz: you know, I have a mixed relationship with Mr. Zuckerberg over here. I've been a hater. (07:47):
undefined

Ejaaz: I've now been a lover for a while now. And Meta released, surprisingly, another model. (07:53):
undefined

Ejaaz: This is their fourth release in five to six weeks, I believe, (07:59):
undefined

Ejaaz: which is unprecedented for Meta on its own. It's MuseSpark 1.3, (08:03):
undefined

Ejaaz: and it's a specialized reasoning, agentic coding model. So what does that mean? (08:08):
undefined

Ejaaz: It means that it's much better at coding than its previous model. (08:13):
undefined

Ejaaz: And its previous model, which was released, I believe, two and a half weeks (08:16):
undefined

Ejaaz: ago, was also pretty decent as well. (08:19):
undefined

Ejaaz: But the main standout feature for Meta and this particular model is, (08:21):
undefined

Ejaaz: once again, it is the cheapest model around to get 90% of your tasks done. And I can prove it. (08:25):
undefined

Ejaaz: I have a demo here shared by Alexander Wang, who is one of the leads here. (08:31):
undefined

Ejaaz: Where they basically or someone recreated Minecraft and it cost them 10 cents (08:36):
undefined

Ejaaz: to do. So if you're wondering, you know, why is this part of Meta's strategy? (08:42):
undefined

Ejaaz: Well, Mark Zuckerberg's looking at the competition and he's thinking, (08:45):
undefined

Ejaaz: well, I can catch up to frontier intelligence, but it's going to take me a while. (08:48):
undefined

Ejaaz: In the meantime, I'm going to provide the cheapest intelligence possible so (08:51):
undefined

Ejaaz: that enterprises have to second guess whether they should go with the anthropic (08:55):
undefined

Ejaaz: model or with the open area model when they could just use some of Meta's models (08:58):
undefined

Ejaaz: to do the majority of their work and then maybe use that, (09:02):
undefined

Ejaaz: in partnership with some of these other smarter models. (09:06):
undefined

Ejaaz: And that's what Meta's strategy has been for a while now. And it's so impressive (09:08):
undefined

Ejaaz: to see the kind of cadence that they have. (09:11):
undefined

Ejaaz: But it would be bequeath me to say that I can't mention Meta's model without (09:13):
undefined

Ejaaz: Google's model because they're kind of now weirdly playing the same game. (09:18):
undefined

Ejaaz: Google also released a new model called Gemini 3.8 Flash. (09:22):
undefined

Ejaaz: And I have to say the weirdest part about this is Meta's model is better. (09:25):
undefined

Ejaaz: So Meta has finally crushed Google and it's just so bizarre off to me. (09:28):
undefined

Josh: I could probably tell you the change log between these models without actually (09:32):
undefined

Josh: even reading a single thing on the card. (09:36):
undefined

Josh: It's slightly more efficient, slightly cheaper, slightly smarter. (09:37):
undefined

Josh: It feels like this is like iOS version updates where it's just getting slightly (09:40):
undefined

Josh: better across the board and nothing really exciting is happening. (09:44):
undefined

Josh: It's like, okay, we're giving you cheap tokens. It's kind of like lower on the (09:47):
undefined

Josh: Pareto Frontier in terms of like our cost competition. (09:50):
undefined

Josh: It's not much smarter. It seems fine. I'm like, okay, this is like cool. (09:53):
undefined

Josh: Am I going to go and try it? Like probably not. There's other more interesting (09:56):
undefined

Josh: models to try, but it's nice to see. (09:59):
undefined

Josh: I do find it interesting when we talk about we're going to talk about the frontier (10:01):
undefined

Josh: model that was released this week but there's been this race on kind of like (10:04):
undefined

Josh: the cost basis and then the race on the intelligence basis and gemini and meta (10:07):
undefined

Josh: right now are kind of going head to head on that cost basis and i think it'll be interesting to see (10:11):
undefined

Josh: where they go but those are the two smaller models we had a really cool thing this (10:15):
undefined

Ejaaz: This next one um this is my favorite yes. (10:20):
undefined

Josh: Gaussian splats yes need I say anymore (10:24):
undefined

Ejaaz: We were the OGs. (10:27):
undefined

Josh: I'm a huge splat guy man like (10:29):
undefined

Ejaaz: Tell Josh is a big splat guy guys dude I. (10:33):
undefined

Josh: Freaking love splats so I can't even like describe to you what it is you just (10:36):
undefined

Josh: just watch this video basically what this technology it's like unbelievable (10:40):
undefined

Josh: so it's able to take still images or some sort of a video image (10:44):
undefined

Josh: and then generate an entire world around it for you to navigate. (10:48):
undefined

Josh: So let's say you have an image of a place that you've traveled to that you really (10:52):
undefined

Josh: love and you want to relive what that looks like, or you'd like to generate (10:56):
undefined

Josh: an extension of it and go and live inside of it. (10:58):
undefined

Josh: It is able to do that. So what we're seeing here is a standard input image on (11:00):
undefined

Josh: the screen where it is a photo of a church and you can draw the line of a camera (11:04):
undefined

Josh: that goes through and navigates the 3D space and it will actually generate all (11:09):
undefined

Josh: of what it expects it to look like for this video model. (11:13):
undefined

Josh: And it's like unbelievable world builder. It's been a while since we've talked (11:16):
undefined

Josh: about world building in general (11:19):
undefined

Josh: because we haven't really gotten one of the new gemma models from google in (11:21):
undefined

Josh: a while but this seems to take what google is working on and kind of flip it (11:24):
undefined

Josh: on its head in a way that is unbelievably impressive it requires one still image (11:27):
undefined

Josh: and you could see in the video here (11:31):
undefined

Josh: it will just generate an entire room from a still image and let you walk around (11:33):
undefined

Josh: and actually navigate it so in terms of data training i mean what what are world (11:37):
undefined

Josh: models good for training robots they're good for entertainment they're good (11:41):
undefined

Josh: for gaming this is definitely right (11:44):
undefined

Josh: on the frontier of what's possible here and of course naturally it's by fei (11:47):
undefined

Josh: fei lee the godmother of ai and i found this release to be so exciting of all (11:50):
undefined

Josh: the tools that came out this week this is the one i want to spend the most amount of time with because (11:57):
undefined

Josh: man how much fun is it to create these 3d virtual environments like (12:01):
undefined

Josh: Like nothing it's so easy now and it's so impressive (12:04):
undefined

Ejaaz: So for those of you who have been following kind of like the world model advancements, (12:07):
undefined

Ejaaz: Fei-Fei Li, as you mentioned, is an OG here. (12:12):
undefined

Ejaaz: Fun fact, she used to teach Andre Carpathy, the Andre Carpathy, (12:14):
undefined

Ejaaz: back when he was just a young student trying to learn about all this kind of AI stuff. (12:18):
undefined

Ejaaz: So Fei-Fei Li's been around for a while, and she recently started her own company (12:22):
undefined

Ejaaz: called World Labs, which is focused, as the name suggests, on world models. (12:26):
undefined

Ejaaz: Now, the difference between a world model and an LLM, a world model is an AI (12:30):
undefined

Ejaaz: model that really has a good understanding and spatial awareness of the actual world. (12:34):
undefined

Ejaaz: LLMs are like kind of like a student in a library. It reads all the books. (12:38):
undefined

Ejaaz: It understands the theory of how the world works. World models actually go out (12:41):
undefined

Ejaaz: into the world and understand how the physics of the world works. (12:44):
undefined

Ejaaz: If I drop this drink that I'm showing you on my screen right now, (12:48):
undefined

Ejaaz: what happens, how it splatters the physics behind all of it. (12:50):
undefined

Ejaaz: Now, the advancement that we're seeing with this particular model, (12:53):
undefined

Ejaaz: and I wanted to show just this clip. (12:56):
undefined

Josh: The demos are crazy too. I've been watching demos. They're sick. (12:58):
undefined

Ejaaz: So this is someone, if you're not, if you're listening to this and you're not (13:02):
undefined

Ejaaz: watching your screen, I advise you do this is someone spilling a drink. (13:04):
undefined

Ejaaz: And by the way, this is just one video shot from one angle. (13:07):
undefined

Ejaaz: And so this person has been able to navigate and go around him in every single (13:10):
undefined

Ejaaz: shape and form, including capturing his face, his beard trimmings, (13:15):
undefined

Ejaaz: the angle of the lighting on the strawberries, the coloring, everything. (13:19):
undefined

Ejaaz: This looks like a video that was shot by someone walking around. (13:24):
undefined

Ejaaz: But really, it's just kind of like, from one plane of view, someone just shot (13:26):
undefined

Ejaaz: one video. And now you're able to go round and round around, (13:30):
undefined

Ejaaz: you're able to stop it, you're able to edit it, you're able to zoom in. (13:32):
undefined

Ejaaz: There's so many different ways that you can kind of play around with this tool. (13:35):
undefined

Ejaaz: This could have effects in VFX, Hollywood, which, by the way, (13:37):
undefined

Ejaaz: typically takes tens of millions of dollars to recreate this and hours and months of work. (13:41):
undefined

Ejaaz: It's so crazy. Reduced to like kind of like a couple of dollars and like a couple (13:45):
undefined

Ejaaz: of seconds. It's just insane. (13:49):
undefined

Ejaaz: What's the comparison to this model? Well, it's from Google. (13:52):
undefined

Ejaaz: Google, I believe it was Genie 3 that they released a while ago. (13:55):
undefined

Ejaaz: It was their world model. (13:58):
undefined

Ejaaz: It was okay, but it kind of looked like the Unreal game engine. (13:59):
undefined

Ejaaz: It kind of looked animated. (14:03):
undefined

Ejaaz: The main difference here is you can take a picture of the real world, (14:04):
undefined

Ejaaz: like a human being, and you can (14:07):
undefined

Ejaaz: turn it into a simulated reality with a 3D point for every single pixel. (14:09):
undefined

Ejaaz: And so imagine this applied to like sports. Imagine this applied to like movies (14:14):
undefined

Ejaaz: this could like change the way we interact with media and it's just such a cool development. (14:19):
undefined

Josh: It's also just cool there's another demo we have with basketball like this dude (14:23):
undefined

Josh: was just taking he you could see there's like a couple cameras there's three (14:26):
undefined

Josh: different cameras basically and from the three camera angles it's able to rebuild (14:30):
undefined

Josh: the entire three-dimensional (14:33):
undefined

Josh: structure of this and guess the things that it can't see so you'll notice the (14:36):
undefined

Josh: cameras are all facing the basketball hoop it still is able to generate what's (14:38):
undefined

Josh: behind the basketball hoop because (14:42):
undefined

Josh: it's smart enough to understand and interpret what it should look like (14:43):
undefined

Josh: and then generate that so all it takes is a few camera angles and i love the (14:46):
undefined

Josh: description where it just says like this is kind of indistinguishable from black (14:50):
undefined

Josh: magic and we're seeing another one where if you have (14:52):
undefined

Josh: Just if you have a single camera angle, it works pretty well, (14:55):
undefined

Josh: but it is less accurate in the sense that it is less truthful of what reality looks like. (14:58):
undefined

Josh: If you have a couple cameras, it will just take whatever you give it and stitch (15:02):
undefined

Josh: it together and turn into this unbelievable world. (15:05):
undefined

Josh: It is so, so impressive. So I think of all the releases this week, (15:07):
undefined

Josh: this one's my favorite. This is what I want everyone to try. (15:10):
undefined

Josh: This is what I'm most excited to try. I want to go out and record some videos, (15:13):
undefined

Josh: like just post up a couple iPhones and see what type of crazy stuff I can get. (15:16):
undefined

Josh: Maybe we'll share the results next week on the show. (15:19):
undefined

Ejaaz: How the tables have turned though, Josh. We typically always used to talk about (15:21):
undefined

Ejaaz: like the new anthropic models like released like the first thing on the docket um (15:26):
undefined

Ejaaz: but claude or rather anthropic released not one (15:30):
undefined

Ejaaz: but two new models this week um claude fable 5.1 and claude mythos 5.1 um this (15:34):
undefined

Ejaaz: is an iterative upgrade to my understanding i've been playing around with these (15:40):
undefined

Ejaaz: models i've only got access to fable 5.1 which is the one with the safeguards on it (15:43):
undefined

Ejaaz: and i understand that there's a bunch of different changes here so number one (15:47):
undefined

Ejaaz: it is much better bang for buck. (15:50):
undefined

Ejaaz: So you can get the same amount of intelligence or increased intelligence for a fraction of the cost. (15:52):
undefined

Ejaaz: They're doing this thing called caching or the cutting down on sort of like (15:57):
undefined

Ejaaz: the caching mechanism that the model uses, which means that you could get up (16:01):
undefined

Ejaaz: to 75% lower costs on your prompting, especially over long agentic workloads. (16:04):
undefined

Ejaaz: So the longer your task is, typically this model is very good and much, much cheaper. (16:09):
undefined

Ejaaz: The second thing is it's really compelling when it comes to video generation, (16:14):
undefined

Ejaaz: which is crazy for me to say, given that what you're seeing on the screen right (16:19):
undefined

Ejaaz: now, which is a demo from Fable 5.1, is completely generated from code. (16:23):
undefined

Ejaaz: This didn't take any kind of input images. This was just generated from code (16:27):
undefined

Ejaaz: from scratch. And it is just crazy to see the navigation around it. (16:31):
undefined

Ejaaz: It's almost like I'm looking at that world model that we just literally like (16:34):
undefined

Ejaaz: kind of like went through. So it's cheaper, it's more efficient. (16:37):
undefined

Ejaaz: And then the other thing I'll say about this is the safeguards. (16:40):
undefined

Ejaaz: One thing that was really annoying for me for Fable 5, at least personally, (16:43):
undefined

Ejaaz: when I was experiencing it is it just spoke too much and it didn't kind of answer (16:46):
undefined

Ejaaz: the questions that I gave it. (16:50):
undefined

Ejaaz: This model has been a significant leap. It now answers my questions. (16:52):
undefined

Ejaaz: It stops saying too many words and it's overall a much more pleasant experience to have. (16:55):
undefined

Josh: Yeah, it's amazing. This demo in particular is very cool. (17:00):
undefined

Josh: The person who wrote it says, for this one, I gave it a picture of a property (17:03):
undefined

Josh: lot and it designed a house for the lot, rendered it and then produced a cinematic walkthrough. (17:06):
undefined

Josh: And it's important to note also that Fable didn't actually generate the images, (17:10):
undefined

Josh: but Fable worked with Blender, which is a 3D rendering software. (17:14):
undefined

Josh: It was headless and it worked together and it conducted it and orchestrated (17:17):
undefined

Josh: it to build this 3D virtual space. (17:20):
undefined

Josh: And I think that's one of the more powerful things is because the model, (17:23):
undefined

Josh: it doesn't have an image model and yet it's able to create these unbelievable (17:25):
undefined

Josh: visual results. The second one being, we have another example here of a one-shot (17:29):
undefined

Josh: prompt for a Mario Kart game. (17:32):
undefined

Josh: And Mable 5.1 turned a singular prompt into a fully working Mario Kart game. (17:35):
undefined

Josh: And I found this to be really impressive too. It's like, okay, (17:41):
undefined

Josh: well, it doesn't have an image generation model, but this is looking pretty (17:44):
undefined

Josh: strong to me. In fact, if you gave me this game like a couple of years ago on (17:48):
undefined

Josh: my handheld device, this looks as good as Frontier in terms of like a Nintendo game. (17:51):
undefined

Josh: So I think the capabilities of these models and the intelligence to be able (17:55):
undefined

Josh: to interact with other tools that exist and harness them and orchestrate them (17:59):
undefined

Josh: to get the results that you're looking for is a really impressive capability. (18:03):
undefined

Josh: Great model, great new model. This is like the new frontier. (18:06):
undefined

Josh: We'll see what Astra has to like come back with. I'm very excited. (18:09):
undefined

Josh: It seems as if Astra might leapfrog this to some extent, but for now, (18:13):
undefined

Josh: best model, really impressive, really enjoying using it. (18:15):
undefined

Ejaaz: Okay, so just to give the run of the mill of everything that we've just covered, (18:18):
undefined

Ejaaz: just to catch you up on the roundup itself, we have OpenAI Astra coming out. (18:21):
undefined

Ejaaz: You might likely have access to it right now. You've got Google that released (18:26):
undefined

Ejaaz: Gemini 3.8 Flash, super cheap, super effective, but it's competing with Meta's (18:29):
undefined

Ejaaz: new model, which is Muse Spark 1.3. (18:34):
undefined

Ejaaz: You've got Actropic releasing two models, Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1. (18:37):
undefined

Ejaaz: And then you've got a few Chinese open source models as well, (18:41):
undefined

Ejaaz: as well as this new World Labs world model. (18:44):
undefined

Ejaaz: So the point that I want to make here is we have moved very far away from (18:46):
undefined

Ejaaz: one model per couple of months and it's like a major capability leaf when now (18:51):
undefined

Ejaaz: having this kind of iterative software upgrades and that's kind of like the (18:56):
undefined

Ejaaz: new world that we live in and it's net-net so amazing for you, the listener or the, (19:00):
undefined

Ejaaz: user for these different things because it means that you can constantly kind (19:05):
undefined

Ejaaz: of upgrade and test different kinds of views and you're not beholden to one (19:08):
undefined

Ejaaz: particular AI lab provider which I think is just an amazing world to be in. (19:12):
undefined

Ejaaz: So moving on josh you sent me this before we started the show right before. (19:16):
undefined

Josh: I gotta have a headache just thinking about it trying to be insane (19:20):
undefined

Ejaaz: Why am i looking at alexander's gals guard again and why am i looking at this (19:23):
undefined

Ejaaz: damn stainless steel earbuds and. (19:27):
undefined

Josh: If you've been listening to the show for a while you know the lore here this (19:29):
undefined

Josh: is a really important topic that has been at the core of (19:32):
undefined

Josh: my like the the bane of my existence essentially because what we saw here just (19:35):
undefined

Josh: quick tldr this video was released as a leaked super bowl commercial came out (19:39):
undefined

Josh: during the super bowl was leaked on reddit was deleted shortly afterwards and (19:43):
undefined

Josh: it shows a rumored device (19:46):
undefined

Josh: no one knows what it was but at the conclusion of it it showed the open ai logo (19:49):
undefined

Josh: and it said dime and this is a famous actor and this is a really beautiful looking (19:53):
undefined

Josh: device say his name josh say his name alexander scans (19:56):
undefined

Josh: i've no i can never get this freaking name right i have no idea (20:02):
undefined

Ejaaz: I'm sorry it's almost been a year. I'm not exaggerating. And I've told Josh, (20:05):
undefined

Ejaaz: it's Skarsgård. And the guy goes, Skarsgård. Well, you say it with an accent, (20:11):
undefined

Ejaaz: too. It messes up in my head. Anyway, so this actor. (20:15):
undefined

Josh: This famous dude, who's apparently in succession, was like, doing this thing. (20:18):
undefined

Josh: And that was it and we were convinced this was the open ai device until open (20:22):
undefined

Josh: i came out and said no that's not actually the device at all we don't know what that is (20:25):
undefined

Josh: fast forward a couple months later joe gebbia co-founder of airbnb he's currently (20:28):
undefined

Josh: leading design for the united states government as a whole like just really (20:32):
undefined

Josh: awesome legendary job he's spotted in a cafe (20:36):
undefined

Josh: and it's like the seemingly staged post that shows him just casually at a cafe (20:39):
undefined

Josh: but what do you know the earbuds and the puck are inside of the frame as well (20:43):
undefined

Josh: and he's using the device that we saw in that deleted video. (20:48):
undefined

Josh: Okay, what is this thing? Third data point just happened yesterday. (20:51):
undefined

Josh: Palmer Luckey, founder of Anduril, founder of Oculus, the 3D guy, (20:54):
undefined

Josh: the virtual reality guy. (20:59):
undefined

Josh: Yeah, he's posting a photo from a flower shop that he allegedly shops at all the time. (21:00):
undefined

Josh: Casual flower shop shouting him out, oh, what is that on his ears? (21:06):
undefined

Josh: The same device, the same buck in his hand. (21:08):
undefined

Josh: And if you go to the name of the flower shop account, if you scroll up just (21:10):
undefined

Josh: a little bit, it's Sweet Pea Flowers. (21:13):
undefined

Josh: And Sweet Pea is the codename for the OpenAI device. (21:16):
undefined

Josh: So there's like a lot, a lot of people are messing around here. I don't know what it is. (21:20):
undefined

Josh: I mean, OpenAI has openly confirmed that it is not them, but I don't know if (21:25):
undefined

Josh: I believe it. Like I'm just, at this point, whose device is this? (21:28):
undefined

Josh: This is clearly a device. (21:31):
undefined

Josh: We have Palmer Luckey, we have the actor guy, we have Joe Gebbia, (21:33):
undefined

Josh: and they're all using the same device. And I have no idea what it is, (21:36):
undefined

Josh: but it looks like this new AI first device and it's everything that was rumored (21:38):
undefined

Josh: OpenAI2D. So that's the update on this story. (21:42):
undefined

Josh: I don't know what it is. It's driving me crazy. If anyone wants to join the (21:45):
undefined

Josh: mystery, please share a comment below. I am desperate to know what this mystery thing is. (21:48):
undefined

Ejaaz: We do not make outreaches to insiders, but if there was ever a thing or moment (21:52):
undefined

Ejaaz: to do it for, this is the thing. (21:58):
undefined

Ejaaz: If you are someone listening to this show, if you're one of the 50 to 100,000 (22:00):
undefined

Ejaaz: people that listen to each episode nowadays, which is a lot of you, (22:05):
undefined

Ejaaz: and you know something about this, please reach out to us. DM us on X. (22:08):
undefined

Ejaaz: Just to satiate our curiosity, like we won't even mention it on the episode (22:12):
undefined

Ejaaz: if you don't want us to, but like what on earth is going on here? (22:15):
undefined

Ejaaz: I'm sufficiently confused. (22:18):
undefined

Ejaaz: So we have Joe Gebbia, Airbnb, very respectable design guy, works for the US (22:19):
undefined

Ejaaz: government doing this thing. We then have Alexander Skarsgård, (22:23):
undefined

Ejaaz: Hollywood actor. What is this man doing with this thing? And now we have the (22:27):
undefined

Ejaaz: American forlord, Paul Mulaki, also using the thing. (22:32):
undefined

Josh: With no shoes on, I might add. (22:36):
undefined

Ejaaz: With no shoes on, very, very rustic, very rural. (22:38):
undefined

Ejaaz: I'm loving it. Honestly, it could be an aesthetic Instagram post from about (22:41):
undefined

Ejaaz: a year ago if we were really getting into it. But let me comment on the device. I have some thoughts. (22:45):
undefined

Ejaaz: Number one, those earbuds, they are much larger than I thought, (22:50):
undefined

Ejaaz: unless Palmolaki has incredibly small ears. (22:54):
undefined

Ejaaz: I do not know, but those earbuds look kind of constrictive around his ears. (22:57):
undefined

Ejaaz: And the second thing I'll say is the phone he's holding is a pretty sizable (23:01):
undefined

Ejaaz: phone. It's a big phone. It's arguably bigger than the iPhone Pro Max or whatever (23:05):
undefined

Ejaaz: the hell is the latest phone. (23:09):
undefined

Ejaaz: And that puck is massive. So yes, that could fit in your pocket, (23:11):
undefined

Ejaaz: but it seems kind of heavy and kind of clunky. (23:14):
undefined

Ejaaz: And I'm wondering like if I'm carrying my phone similar in the way that he's (23:17):
undefined

Ejaaz: doing it, is that comfy? Is that cool? (23:20):
undefined

Ejaaz: But I'm going to make a call right now, Josh. I think this is an open AI device. (23:22):
undefined

Ejaaz: And I think open AI had to deny it for legal reasons before they kind of like, (23:28):
undefined

Ejaaz: I don't know, whether it's an IPO thing or whether it was kind of like, (23:32):
undefined

Ejaaz: too far away from their actual launch but i think this is an open area device (23:36):
undefined

Ejaaz: and they're just teasing us (23:39):
undefined

Ejaaz: all the way until an excruciating launch about three months from now in the (23:41):
undefined

Ejaaz: actually you know six months from now in the early quarter of 2027 i think is (23:45):
undefined

Ejaaz: when it's meant to come out. (23:50):
undefined

Josh: I don't know hopefully soon i have no idea what it is if you know if anyone (23:51):
undefined

Josh: has any conclusions please let us know i'm desperate to understand more there's (23:54):
undefined

Josh: also another thing on the docket here glm 5.3 it says uh released someone released (23:57):
undefined

Josh: a rogue version of What does that mean to be a rogue version? (24:02):
undefined

Ejaaz: Yes. Okay. So you'll see this word here where it says, today we are releasing obliterated model V2. (24:05):
undefined

Ejaaz: And what they're talking about here is they took the number one. (24:14):
undefined

Ejaaz: I still think it's number one, Chinese open source model, GLM 5.3, (24:19):
undefined

Ejaaz: from none other than cheapu, Josh's favorite word, cheapu. (24:22):
undefined

Ejaaz: And it is an extremely capable model. But the one thing that it is very capable (24:26):
undefined

Ejaaz: at is cybersecurity technology. (24:30):
undefined

Ejaaz: Attacks, which, you know, isn't the greatest thing, but it's a very capable (24:33):
undefined

Ejaaz: cybersecurity model. Now, it is held under its own model weights, (24:36):
undefined

Ejaaz: which was just open-weighted or open-sourced about, I think, two weeks ago. (24:40):
undefined

Ejaaz: And in those two weeks, this company, this rogue random team, (24:45):
undefined

Ejaaz: has decided to stress test this model and remove all the safeguards that this (24:49):
undefined

Ejaaz: model has. So, typically, if you get access to GLM 5.3, it has safeguards on, (24:53):
undefined

Ejaaz: it won't do the bad thing. (24:57):
undefined

Ejaaz: This team kind of took that open weights model, tweaked the model weights, (24:59):
undefined

Ejaaz: and fine-tuned it to create a version of it that basically has no safeguards. (25:02):
undefined

Ejaaz: Now, of course, that's the kind of side effect of open source. (25:06):
undefined

Ejaaz: You are able to kind of experiment with these things. And the intention that (25:09):
undefined

Ejaaz: this company says is you can use it to help defend your own company and your (25:12):
undefined

Ejaaz: own software, which is, you know, an admirable goal. But I can imagine that (25:17):
undefined

Ejaaz: some people might use this for other nefarious purposes. (25:21):
undefined

Ejaaz: But the second thing I'll say is, this is accessible via API. (25:24):
undefined

Ejaaz: Now, typically, with open source models, like you could take it and make it (25:28):
undefined

Ejaaz: dangerous, but you would have to download and run it yourself. (25:32):
undefined

Ejaaz: And GLM 5.3 models, this incredibly capable cybersecurity threat, (25:35):
undefined

Ejaaz: is quite large. You would need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to be able to do that. (25:39):
undefined

Ejaaz: No more. With this company, you can get access to it via API and wreak havoc. (25:43):
undefined

Ejaaz: It's pretty insane to see. (25:46):
undefined

Josh: And next up we have a narrative violation this does not fall in line with the (25:48):
undefined

Josh: public sentiment talk to (25:52):
undefined

Ejaaz: Me about the new. (25:53):
undefined

Josh: School turns out turns out data centers aren't actually ruining the world who (25:54):
undefined

Josh: would have thought we talked about water first then the almonds are way worse (25:59):
undefined

Josh: hate the almond suppliers don't hate the ai people second (26:02):
undefined

Josh: You want to remove property taxes? Get a data center in town. (26:06):
undefined

Josh: Columbia County, Georgia. (26:10):
undefined

Josh: It's nearing a deal with Google that will nearly double its $25 million property (26:12):
undefined

Josh: tax revenues to $40 million, allowing the county to end its residential property (26:15):
undefined

Josh: tax thanks to massive data centers. (26:20):
undefined

Josh: Also, another fun side quest item that I came across this week. (26:22):
undefined

Josh: You know the most wealthy country or the most wealthy county in the country (26:26):
undefined

Josh: is actually the same county, which in Virginia, that has the most amount of (26:31):
undefined

Josh: data centers per capita. (26:35):
undefined

Josh: In it uh turns out like data centers actually make a ton of money (26:36):
undefined

Josh: and all of the money that we talk about being spent on this goes through data (26:40):
undefined

Josh: centers those data centers have to pay a lot of money and they have to incentivize (26:44):
undefined

Josh: the people to want to have them there (26:47):
undefined

Josh: and this is another example of like hey you have a data center town it's kind (26:49):
undefined

Josh: of quiet but it provides a lot of jobs and it provides a lot of subsidies and (26:53):
undefined

Josh: you don't pay property tax (26:57):
undefined

Josh: and you're responsible for generating the tokens that will hopefully make the (26:58):
undefined

Josh: world a much better place so this was a fun feel-good story i was like oh all (27:01):
undefined

Josh: right nice another data point (27:04):
undefined

Josh: where the data centers aren't quite ending the world. Pretty cool. (27:05):
undefined

Ejaaz: Those are blue collar jobs, by the way. Like I think the whole narrative around (27:08):
undefined

Ejaaz: like AI taking away jobs, they're actually one, not taking away software engineering (27:11):
undefined

Ejaaz: jobs, they're adding more. And two, they're adding even more blue collar jobs, (27:15):
undefined

Ejaaz: which is actually really beneficial for the states that these data centers are being set up. (27:18):
undefined

Ejaaz: And then the other thing I'll say is like, listen, this is great for Georgia (27:22):
undefined

Ejaaz: getting, you know, whatever, $25 million worth of property tax revenues and (27:26):
undefined

Ejaaz: like, you know, great for the residents over there. But it's happening in every single state. (27:29):
undefined

Ejaaz: And if it's not coming in the form of property tax reimbursement. (27:33):
undefined

Ejaaz: It's coming in the form of new schools, new hospitals, brand new equipment that (27:37):
undefined

Ejaaz: makes your lives better. (27:41):
undefined

Ejaaz: So I don't want to sound like a propagandist as I'm listening to myself right (27:42):
undefined

Ejaaz: now, but like data centers aren't all bad. They aren't all great either. (27:46):
undefined

Ejaaz: And I'm addressing that they are issues that need to be solved, but (27:50):
undefined

Ejaaz: The hatred is kind of like overwhelming right now and it's unjustified. (27:53):
undefined

Josh: You know what issue needs to be solved? Like getting more energy in these freaking data centers. (27:57):
undefined

Ejaaz: That's the problem. Slant PowerShell, LPS. Let's figure out, (28:00):
undefined

Ejaaz: like let's upgrade our transformer system. My God. (28:03):
undefined

Ejaaz: Anyway, moving away from power and transformers, can we talk about electrics (28:06):
undefined

Ejaaz: for a bit? Because there is an update. (28:10):
undefined

Josh: There's an update from RoboTaxi. (28:12):
undefined

Ejaaz: I know, there's too many. Listen, I am a simple man. I look on my screen. I see two things. (28:14):
undefined

Ejaaz: Really cheap prices, which is going to cost me kind of like a fraction of an (28:21):
undefined

Ejaaz: Uber cost, which is amazing. (28:25):
undefined

Ejaaz: And then number two, Terry's Black's, Terry Black's Barbecue. (28:26):
undefined

Ejaaz: A phenomenal spot. If you're in Austin, Texas, fantastic. (28:29):
undefined

Ejaaz: Go and visit. Josh, what on earth is going on here, please? (28:32):
undefined

Josh: So by the time you're watching this, the Cyber Cab will have officially launched (28:35):
undefined

Josh: in Austin, Texas. They will have had the launch event. They are going to, (28:40):
undefined

Josh: for the first time ever, distribute the Cyber Cabs across the entire county or city of Austin. (28:43):
undefined

Josh: This is the first time they're doing this with the Cyber Cab. (28:47):
undefined

Josh: They've been using robo taxis that are serving as Model Ys. (28:50):
undefined

Josh: Now we get those little gold things that are rolling around. (28:53):
undefined

Josh: Luke, who everyone knows who helps out with the show, he lives in Austin and (28:55):
undefined

Josh: he was describing what they look like in person. He's been seeing these all (28:58):
undefined

Josh: over town and he described it as these small little cars with the mullet on the back. (29:01):
undefined

Josh: They look adorable. But the reason why is because the efficiency of these vehicles (29:06):
undefined

Josh: exceeds that of any other car ever made in history. (29:10):
undefined

Josh: It is a two-seater. It has a very aerodynamically efficient design. (29:13):
undefined

Josh: And for the nerds who drive Teslas, you know, generally your tesla drives excuse (29:17):
undefined

Josh: me at around 250 to 350 kilowatt hours per mile the cyber cab is 150 it's built for (29:22):
undefined

Josh: Efficiency. It's built for low cost. Therefore, the cost per mile will be lower (29:29):
undefined

Josh: because the cost of the vehicle will be lower. (29:33):
undefined

Josh: The cost per mile will be lower. And I find it impossibly challenging for anybody (29:35):
undefined

Josh: to compete once these cybercabs are rolled out at scale. (29:39):
undefined

Josh: This is monumental because it's the first time it's rolled out in a city fully autonomously. (29:42):
undefined

Josh: As soon as the legislation passes to make it more broadly available, (29:46):
undefined

Josh: they will be able to do so. (29:49):
undefined

Josh: And this is the beginning of the cybercab takeover. And I think this is a one-way (29:50):
undefined

Josh: street in which cybercabs start (29:54):
undefined

Josh: entering more and more and more cities and nobody can compete on cost. (29:56):
undefined

Josh: This is almost half the price of Uber and you don't have to tip. (30:00):
undefined

Josh: And the cars are cleaner. They're more futuristic. They're far safer than a (30:03):
undefined

Josh: human driving. It is a win, win, win, win, win. (30:07):
undefined

Josh: And this is the beginning of a very long duration kind of tidal wave that I (30:09):
undefined

Josh: think a lot of the world isn't expecting to come as soon as it will. (30:14):
undefined

Ejaaz: I wish this was present in New York City and I wish that state regulations would (30:16):
undefined

Ejaaz: stop banning cool stuff like this. I mean, this is a car that doesn't have a (30:22):
undefined

Ejaaz: steering wheel, for goodness sake. (30:25):
undefined

Ejaaz: I would love to jump in that thing and see what this technology can do. (30:27):
undefined

Ejaaz: And it's well for a fraction of the cost. (30:30):
undefined

Ejaaz: I'm looking forward to these things kind of becoming way more prevalent in every (30:32):
undefined

Ejaaz: single state in the US, first at least. (30:35):
undefined

Ejaaz: But moving on, we have officially, folks, (30:38):
undefined

Ejaaz: reached peak AI bubble. We now have AI in your toothbrush. (30:41):
undefined

Ejaaz: James Dyson, founder of none other than Dyson itself, 79 years old, (30:47):
undefined

Ejaaz: had a keynote where he pitched his brand new product. It wasn't a GPU. (30:52):
undefined

Ejaaz: It wasn't a new data center. It wasn't even an AI model. It was a toothbrush (30:56):
undefined

Ejaaz: that has an AI powered camera jet and it only costs $500. But let me tell you why it does. (31:01):
undefined

Ejaaz: Now, the problem that people are trying to fix here is you brush your teeth, (31:07):
undefined

Ejaaz: people take around, whatever, 45 seconds, they should take two minutes, (31:10):
undefined

Ejaaz: but they don't. And then flossing, well, that's not even a thing. (31:13):
undefined

Ejaaz: Like a second thing to do after brushing your teeth, I'm not going to be doing that. (31:15):
undefined

Ejaaz: But what if you had a toothbrush with a camera and a jet inside of it that scans, (31:19):
undefined

Ejaaz: it takes around 500 pictures of your entire mouth whilst you're brushing your (31:26):
undefined

Ejaaz: teeth, identifies where the plaque is, and then shoots water whilst you're brushing your teeth (31:29):
undefined

Ejaaz: to clean the plaque away and save you the trips to the dentist for infinite amount of times. (31:33):
undefined

Ejaaz: I just think this is a crazy, crazy gizmo device. And the more I read about (31:40):
undefined

Ejaaz: it, the more I want to buy one. (31:44):
undefined

Josh: I am obsessed with this product. And that is by no means a recommendation to (31:46):
undefined

Josh: spend $500 on a toothbrush because that is insane. (31:49):
undefined

Josh: But I haven't seen this level of care and obsession over design since the old (31:52):
undefined

Josh: school Steve Jobs era. And that's what gets me really excited. (31:56):
undefined

Josh: There's an eight minute video online of James Dyson talking about this. (31:59):
undefined

Josh: James Dyson now is 79 years old. (32:02):
undefined

Josh: He is one of the most incredible designers alive right now. And he describes (32:04):
undefined

Josh: the kind of vitriol, the tribes and tribulations of what it takes to make the (32:07):
undefined

Josh: best toothbrush in the world. (32:13):
undefined

Josh: And he describes the sensors and the vacuum sealed chamber and how difficult (32:14):
undefined

Josh: it was to accomplish all these amazing things. And it's so overkill. (32:19):
undefined

Josh: Nobody needs this, but it is such a beautiful device. It is such a thoughtful (32:22):
undefined

Josh: device. It's really cool to see people who still care about the craft of industrial (32:26):
undefined

Josh: design, like James Dyson does. (32:30):
undefined

Josh: It's like whenever this guy stands on stage, I know whatever he's going to announce. (32:32):
undefined

Josh: He's spent years thinking about it. They've spent (32:35):
undefined

Josh: hundreds of millions of dollars researching this thing and they are going to (32:37):
undefined

Josh: produce the best of it in the world and that is what we got with this toothbrush (32:40):
undefined

Josh: so i mean i'm probably not going to spend 500 on a toothbrush but man it is (32:44):
undefined

Josh: so beautiful i just want to look at (32:47):
undefined

Ejaaz: It you and i both know you are going to spend 500 bucks and you also know that (32:48):
undefined

Ejaaz: i'm also going to spend 500 bucks on it so let's just kind of like put our hands up there i mean. (32:52):
undefined

Josh: Man if you're thinking of a christmas present for me i'm not going to say no (32:56):
undefined

Ejaaz: Okay okay i'll heavily consider it that's for sure um moving on last two things. (33:00):
undefined

Josh: Um tim cook good stuff dude (33:06):
undefined

Ejaaz: Tim cook the goat uh cp ceo former ceo of uh of apple has stepped down officially (33:08):
undefined

Ejaaz: uh this is not new news we announced this about a couple months ago whenever (33:16):
undefined

Ejaaz: the news broke uh but his successor john turnus who is (33:19):
undefined

Ejaaz: a hardware expert he's been at apple for around 27 years and he's been uh, (33:23):
undefined

Ejaaz: very uh present in the design and manufacturing of most of Apple's hardware (33:27):
undefined

Ejaaz: devices, including the iPad, the iWatch, and a number of the phone devices, (33:32):
undefined

Ejaaz: for the last 18 years at least, has officially taken the helm. (33:37):
undefined

Ejaaz: And he introduces himself in one single word, hello, which got around 85 million (33:41):
undefined

Ejaaz: views and impressions on X. (33:47):

undefined

Josh: a foldable iphone which i'm very excited about a new 18 pro there's a whole (34:04):
undefined

Josh: bunch of stuff going on one of the things though that i saw that i was most excited about is (34:08):
undefined

Josh: iOS 27 has a handoff feature. Because one of the things that I've been deciding (34:12):
undefined

Josh: in my head, and I don't know about the toothbrush, but one thing I will be getting (34:16):
undefined

Josh: is both of these iPhones. (34:18):
undefined

Josh: And how do you decide between a foldable phone with two cameras or a professional (34:19):
undefined

Josh: phone with three cameras? (34:23):
undefined

Josh: You don't. You get both. And there is a new feature built into iOS 27 that allows (34:24):
undefined

Josh: you to seamlessly hand off your phone number between devices so you can dual-wheel (34:28):
undefined

Josh: devices on a singular plan. (34:32):
undefined

Josh: That is very exciting to me. Quick shout out to Tim Cook also. (34:34):
undefined

Josh: Like, oh my God, what an unbelievable run this man had. (34:37):
undefined

Josh: Just a really decent guy who took an impossible challenge of following off Steve (34:39):
undefined

Josh: Jobs and did a really remarkable job of stewarding the company over 15 years (34:45):
undefined

Josh: into what was just the most valuable company on earth. (34:50):
undefined

Josh: So I'm excited for this new era. I'm grateful for the previous one. (34:54):
undefined

Josh: And you know, hopefully we'll get some more hardware innovation. (34:57):
undefined

Josh: We'll get Apple intelligence. We'll get new hardware. We'll get the glasses (34:58):
undefined

Josh: we've always wanted. I'm excited for this new era of hardware at Apple. (35:02):
undefined

Ejaaz: So to summarize this week, We have around four to five new models. (35:05):
undefined

Ejaaz: A lot of them are cheap, but super, super intelligent. (35:09):
undefined

Ejaaz: We have a brand new world model. We have a new toothbrush, which costs around (35:12):
undefined

Ejaaz: 500 bucks, which will solve all your dental problems. (35:16):
undefined

Ejaaz: And Josh is going to buy one, two, three, four, maybe five new devices in the (35:19):
undefined

Ejaaz: space of between now and the end of the year, which will maybe put him in bankruptcy. (35:23):
undefined

Ejaaz: We don't know, but he'll be able to switch between different phones. (35:27):
undefined

Ejaaz: Apple is going to release so much cool hardware. (35:30):
undefined

Ejaaz: OpenAI is still going to tease us continually for the foreseeable future until (35:33):
