Chad, GPT Atlas is here.
spk_0
We have spent time with OpenAI's new browser,
spk_0
which has critics, ratings, and security experts
spk_0
kind of freaking out.
spk_0
Gavin, you are so 2000 and late.
spk_0
Sorry, buddy.
spk_0
I'm having Atlas right now.
spk_0
rewrite our entire intro.
spk_0
It's doing it.
spk_0
It's optimized for YouTube clips.
spk_0
It came up with big daddy, Altman, clicks deploy,
spk_0
and Google Stock drops faster than Gemini's IQ test scores.
spk_0
Ha ha ha ha!
spk_0
Kevin, I don't actually see this in our show notes.
spk_0
Well, Chad, GPT wrote it on the sidebar.
spk_0
I told it to put it in the document,
spk_0
but it said it did, but it didn't,
spk_0
because you have to turn on agent mode.
spk_0
It doesn't do that automatically.
spk_0
So I'm just going to turn that on.
spk_0
In the meantime, Google has updated its AI studio,
spk_0
which means that it's making it much easier
spk_0
for normal people to vibe code real apps.
spk_0
Your parents, normal people could do this.
spk_0
Yeah, got it.
spk_0
Atlas actually wrote a very sick burn about that, Gavin,
spk_0
but right now it's struggling.
spk_0
It's, I mean, it's in the document,
spk_0
but there's a bullet point that's in the way of it
spk_0
from dropping in the full text in it made a typo,
spk_0
which it seems to be stuck on now.
spk_0
But as soon as it is trying to use keyboard shortcuts
spk_0
to get rid of the bullet point.
spk_0
Okay, Kevin, let's find. Let's let it work.
spk_0
spk_0
Sora 2 is also getting a really cool update to Camus.
spk_0
It's going to let you make AI videos
spk_0
with your pets and other characters, which is super fun.
spk_0
It just, what's going on?
spk_0
What's happening?
spk_0
You're right over there?
spk_0
It says it can't find what it's working.
spk_0
It's scrolled too far down in the document, Gavin,
spk_0
and so now it's trying to figure out if it has to scroll back up
spk_0
to see the text, and then when it does,
spk_0
I'm sure it's going to drop in all of that.
spk_0
Good. This is it's brand new.
spk_0
Meanwhile, the deep seek team just made a massive breakthrough
spk_0
in AI research.
spk_0
Reddit is suing a number of companies,
spk_0
including perplexity for scraping its data.
spk_0
And we've got an amazing robot watch update
spk_0
with a new unitary humanoid robot.
spk_0
It's back on the bullet point.
spk_0
It's still stuck on the bullet point.
spk_0
It says it's going to try to,
spk_0
it's going to try a new approach.
spk_0
Kevin, this is not the AI future we were promised,
spk_0
but this is AI for humans, everybody.
spk_0
Welcome, everybody to AI for humans,
spk_0
another week in AI, another bunch of crazy big stories.
spk_0
Kevin, this week, the biggest story to date,
spk_0
maybe not to date, probably start to as a bigger story,
spk_0
but this is still a big story.
spk_0
Chi-at GPT Atlas.
spk_0
It is the world, Kevin, in one place,
spk_0
the worldwide web.
spk_0
Sure.
spk_0
This is their agentic browser.
spk_0
This made a lot of news.
spk_0
In fact, it made so much news that sent Google shares down 10%
spk_0
when it was announced, which is one of those things
spk_0
where like, you know, somebody's coming from your business
spk_0
when your shares go down, you and I both spent time with it.
spk_0
Let's start with what it is.
spk_0
Tell us a little bit about the basics of this if you can.
spk_0
So it is chromium based.
spk_0
So if you like Google Chrome,
spk_0
that's the foundation of this browsing experience,
spk_0
which is not a surprise, by the way,
spk_0
like writing a browser from scratch, very difficult,
spk_0
use a base that works and people know.
spk_0
So it is chromium based.
spk_0
You basically launch Atlas
spk_0
and you are at a very familiar chat.com interface,
spk_0
your chat GPT interface.
spk_0
But as you start typing,
spk_0
that's when you notice things are a little different.
spk_0
It is immediately trying to understand
spk_0
are you asking chat GPT a question?
spk_0
Are you hunting for a website?
spk_0
And when you smack enter, you're giving sort of like a smattering
spk_0
of all of those options.
spk_0
And sometimes it will start to answer a question
spk_0
about the thing that you typed.
spk_0
Other times it will give you web browsing results
spk_0
related to the thing that you typed.
spk_0
There's also tabs for images and videos.
spk_0
But the whole point is that there is an ask chat GPT button
spk_0
in the top right hand corner, Gavin.
spk_0
When you smack that, you get another sidebar,
spk_0
not the sidebar that's on the left,
spk_0
which has all of your chat history and everything else.
spk_0
No, no, no, a sidebar on the right,
spk_0
which is all of the power of GPT five,
spk_0
a gentick browsing, deep research,
spk_0
these new web connectors,
spk_0
if you want to connect it to different applications,
spk_0
all that is there so that whatever it is,
spk_0
you are browsing,
spk_0
you can ask chat GPT to go do actions on your behalf
spk_0
like summarize a page, add things to a cart,
spk_0
try to update the show copy with zingers and spicy takes.
spk_0
And you know, it sometimes does the thing, gap.
spk_0
Well, yeah, I mean, the secret sauce this sure,
spk_0
the ask chat GPT thing is cool
spk_0
and you can get some reference points,
spk_0
but like we all know that Gemini
spk_0
and some forum has done this,
spk_0
you know, within docs and other things so far,
spk_0
the really secret sauce is the thing
spk_0
is the agentic AI part of this, right?
spk_0
And you have to click turn on,
spk_0
when you turn it on,
spk_0
it basically will be able to navigate in your browser
spk_0
for you to do stuff.
spk_0
And I had a little bit of experience with this yesterday.
spk_0
One thing I very first did when I first started this,
spk_0
so I navigated to a YouTube video
spk_0
and I kind of asked,
spk_0
hey, what's going on in this video?
spk_0
And two parts that are funny,
spk_0
first thing I'll say is what happened
spk_0
when I got to the actual video was,
spk_0
it's clear that there is a transcript grabbing tool
spk_0
because it immediately knew exactly what was being said.
spk_0
And that was kind of useful, right?
spk_0
But could it tell that Spider-Man's butt was 300 times larger
spk_0
than the normal Spider-Man on the video you were watching?
spk_0
It couldn't because all that stuff
spk_0
is kind of very deep in the metadata.
spk_0
I know where to find it,
spk_0
but what was interesting is when I first went to that video
spk_0
and ad was up and it had all the details for the ad video.
spk_0
So I think there is something interesting going on here
spk_0
under the surface,
spk_0
like it's very, you don't immediately get access
spk_0
to a transcript in a YouTube video, right?
spk_0
Like, and that's one thing I saw somebody say,
spk_0
like it is doing YouTube deep search,
spk_0
which is a really interesting thing.
spk_0
I assume it's being driven by some sort of transcript file.
spk_0
But there's a lot of interesting use cases for this.
spk_0
It's not like hugely different
spk_0
than some of the other agentech browsers we've seen.
spk_0
I think what I would say is that the biggest difference here
spk_0
is that it's ASChatGPT,
spk_0
which we know has 800 million weekly users,
spk_0
which means a lot more people are going to try
spk_0
agentech browsing for the first time.
spk_0
It is interesting though to watch the way
spk_0
that they have implemented this
spk_0
and to see the kind of cursor move around on screen.
spk_0
There's been a lot of people who've kind of
spk_0
crapped on the idea of agentech browsing in general,
spk_0
like whether or not that's even where the web is going to go,
spk_0
like if we want these web bots or these chat interfaces
spk_0
to be able to do this sort of thing.
spk_0
But I don't care.
spk_0
Did you have a time to spend trying this out a little bit
spk_0
and seeing what you thought about it outside of what you did
spk_0
at the top of the show?
spk_0
Well, I mean, I don't want to,
spk_0
I don't want to make light of what I did
spk_0
at the top of the show, Gavin, because what I did
spk_0
should have been so painfully easy.
spk_0
But what I did there was say, write some new copy.
spk_0
I selected the Google Doc that was active.
spk_0
It took that copy and re-wrote it.
spk_0
Okay, we know that that's a pretty easy task.
spk_0
In fact, there's a Gem and I button
spk_0
right in the Google Doc that could do it.
spk_0
I'll digress.
spk_0
When I said to go put it back in,
spk_0
I had to turn on agent mode to let it take over
spk_0
and read the site.
spk_0
And it really fundamentally stumbled
spk_0
on something that should have been a very easy vision
spk_0
and logic task was to see that there was a table
spk_0
with our names already on it,
spk_0
to understand that it wrote a script
spk_0
with my name and your name and are changing
spk_0
and to just drop some text into a document.
spk_0
And it failed.
spk_0
It failed miserably time and time again.
spk_0
Another activity I had to do for me was
spk_0
go and research places for me to visit next year
spk_0
based off of the specific criteria.
spk_0
And I set it free.
spk_0
I gave an access to all of the things
spk_0
against a lot of people's advice,
spk_0
which we can get to that in a second.
spk_0
And it worked for what felt like about 10, 15 minutes
spk_0
which was nice.
spk_0
And when I came back, it had done a bunch of research
spk_0
on different places to go, places to stay.
spk_0
And it had a bunch of links for Airbnb's and apartments
spk_0
and like, okay, great.
spk_0
I said put it into a document.
spk_0
And once again, it miserably failed to do that.
spk_0
The links that it dropped in were invalid links.
spk_0
I said to go and correct it.
spk_0
And it ended up spending way more time
spk_0
trying to finesse and get this thing to work for me
spk_0
than it would have just taken for me to do it.
spk_0
I fully understand its baby steps.
spk_0
I get that, I understand that.
spk_0
But there are other agentic browser offerings out there
spk_0
that perform better today if you want this sort of thing.
spk_0
Well, and also, what's so interesting about that
spk_0
to your point, like, yes, it's baby steps,
spk_0
but also at some point you want JGPT
spk_0
and OpenAI at this size of a company,
spk_0
if they're gonna release a product like this
spk_0
to get out there with something
spk_0
that feels a little bit more polished than this,
spk_0
yes, it's a browser, but browsers are not that hard,
spk_0
especially when you're making a Chromium one.
spk_0
Obviously, we will talk about this in a second,
spk_0
but Google dropped something to the same day
spk_0
and you never know how JGPT works.
spk_0
They may have wanted to get this out there the same day.
spk_0
I will say this took a ton of Google's heat
spk_0
for what is a very interesting product
spk_0
that we'll get into in a bit.
spk_0
I saw an interesting FOFR who we always like,
spk_0
did some interesting stuff where he was using it
spk_0
to prompt AI images in the replicate playgrounds,
spk_0
so basically using it to write prompts
spk_0
for images in the C dream model, which is very cool.
spk_0
And I saw you tell me about your Sora assignment
spk_0
and how did this work?
spk_0
What did this look like when you were using it?
spk_0
So, you know, I don't give,
spk_0
I haven't given any AI agents access to my sensitive stuff,
spk_0
my Google docs, my banking information,
spk_0
my even my ex account, but while it was open in the browser,
spk_0
I said, hey, you know what, go ahead and crawl through
spk_0
everything that's trending right now on Twitter
spk_0
and generate a fire tweet.
spk_0
And it stumbled to do it a little bit,
spk_0
but then it kind of did it and I was like, okay,
spk_0
it was doing it and I was like, let's do something better.
spk_0
Go look at the trends, then go to Sora,
spk_0
an open AI product, right?
spk_0
And go and generate a video
spk_0
that would be the most viral video ever
spk_0
predicated on what you learned.
spk_0
And it's pretty incredible.
spk_0
It put together a video prompt,
spk_0
it failed to load Sora, the Sora website,
spk_0
basically said, uh-uh, we're not letting you in,
spk_0
which I thought was kind of interesting.
spk_0
Like they blocked the call coming from inside their own house.
spk_0
I demand really load the Sora site
spk_0
and then tell it, okay, the site is open,
spk_0
go ahead and use it.
spk_0
It said that it failed to use it,
spk_0
even though it did successfully submit the video.
spk_0
And then one of the things that they say
spk_0
is for a security and privacy reason
spk_0
and their blog post,
spk_0
this thing cannot run code in a browser.
spk_0
It can't download files.
spk_0
It cannot install extensions.
spk_0
It can't access other apps on your computer
spk_0
or your file system.
spk_0
I mean, some of that makes sense.
spk_0
Some of that also seems like it's limited
spk_0
probably because it's early days.
spk_0
But this agentic task I had to go
spk_0
and manually download the video that was made,
spk_0
drag it into Twitter and say,
spk_0
now go ahead and complete the tweet.
spk_0
And it finally did eventually do it.
spk_0
Well, describe the video just so people will be listening.
spk_0
What's going on in the video here?
spk_0
What are we looking at?
spk_0
I don't even know.
spk_0
I mean, okay, look, so at the time,
spk_0
the football team, Arsenal was trending.
spk_0
The Lakers were trending NASA was trending.
spk_0
And of course, the remodeling at the White House was trending.
spk_0
And so it put a video where it looks like someone's kicking
spk_0
a soccer ball to a Los Angeles Laker
spk_0
who's shooting hoops while confetti cannons
spk_0
and a spaceship launch behind the White House.
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
And there's a robot there as well
spk_0
because Atlas was trending a GPT robot.
spk_0
It really did mash everything together.
spk_0
This is what this is true AI Slop.
spk_0
So this is an example of what a true piece of AI Slop
spk_0
looks like a robot agent came up with this topic
spk_0
for this Rotha prompt, even though Kevin had to like hand the Slop
spk_0
through the Slop machine.
spk_0
This is AI Slop.
spk_0
So anyway, this is a really interesting thing.
spk_0
To the point that you were talking about before
spk_0
about security and all this stuff,
spk_0
there have been a lot of people
spk_0
concerned about AI agentic browsers for a while.
spk_0
In fact, Simon Willison is somebody who's written very deeply
spk_0
about this idea of how dangerous agentic browsers are
spk_0
and specifically with prompt injections.
spk_0
So if you're out there and you're wondering
spk_0
what the hellgound are you talking about?
spk_0
What's a prompt injection?
spk_0
This is the idea that an AI could conceivably inject a prompt
spk_0
and want to do something malicious in an agentic space
spk_0
in an agentic browser.
spk_0
And because browsers may eventually have access
spk_0
to all of this information for your stuff or your things,
spk_0
it could conceivably get that agentic AI
spk_0
to do something dangerous.
spk_0
Opening AI has already said there are a bunch of updates
spk_0
coming on this, but I'm sure you have thoughts on this,
spk_0
Kav, like do you feel like you will turn your life over
spk_0
to one of these at any time soon?
spk_0
You know, I gave it permission to be the default browser
spk_0
so that I could unlock some of the data.
spk_0
Sure.
spk_0
And I'm going to probably reverse that decision later tonight.
spk_0
I also similarly share security concerns.
spk_0
I've been watching this thing very closely as I use it,
spk_0
but that's not to say someone couldn't put like an invisible
spk_0
image or line of code with instructions
spk_0
that has it go in leak personal info or try to ransack my chat
spk_0
history.
spk_0
I don't know what I don't know about it.
spk_0
And I'd rather not be the first to find out at this phase.
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
There's not, you know, there's not enough here yet
spk_0
for me to want to turn over by default.
spk_0
All of my browsing habits and history,
spk_0
it still is a little unclear to me like what data open AI
spk_0
is getting or isn't getting as I browse.
spk_0
And so by default, I just assume that everything I'm seeing
spk_0
they're seeing, right?
spk_0
So that also has me a little irked as I try to use it
spk_0
a little bit more and trust it more.
spk_0
And also like straight up features like translate
spk_0
don't work.
spk_0
So someone who is in the middle of getting their Portuguese
spk_0
citizenship has to bounce back to Chrome for very basic things
spk_0
like translate some of the extensions don't work, et cetera.
spk_0
So again, maybe just learn how to speak Portuguese.
spk_0
That would be a lot easier if you just start learning.
spk_0
Seems like that's the next step for you to try get your Portuguese
spk_0
citizenship.
spk_0
No, it seems like my glasses and my AirPods are going to do that
spk_0
for me, buddy.
spk_0
OK, I'm an American first.
spk_0
Let's before we move on from this, why do you think
spk_0
opening AI wants a browser outside of like pushing past Google
spk_0
and knocking down their sock market price?
spk_0
Like what do you think the purpose of this is?
spk_0
Why would they want a browser?
spk_0
What are they excited about with the browsers?
spk_0
There a reason here you ever thought?
spk_0
I mean, if chat GPT is supposed to be the interface that allows you
spk_0
to do all the things, right?
spk_0
Chat with your friends, make your images and videos, search the web,
spk_0
purchase things directly from Shopify, work with Canva.
spk_0
Like all of that is good, but most people are accessing that
spk_0
where within a browser, right?
spk_0
And taking an operating system would be very, very, very difficult.
spk_0
So yes, start with the browser, lock people in, gather all that data
spk_0
about where they go and how they use it and track the clicks and make
spk_0
your agent better.
spk_0
And do you know what also tracking all those people does, Kevin?
spk_0
In a very big way.
spk_0
What got it makes advertising work.
spk_0
That's how the internet advertising world has worked for a long time.
spk_0
There's a thing called cookies out there.
spk_0
If you're all familiar, you're not the kind of nom nom cookies
spk_0
that cookie monster likes, but the kind of cookies that follow you
spk_0
around and give you ads on the internet.
spk_0
So my theory here also has to do with the fact they need a browser
spk_0
to start opening the door to being able to track you a little bit more.
spk_0
And again, tracking can be good.
spk_0
Tracking can be bad.
spk_0
It's not like all tracking is a bad thing.
spk_0
In some ways, tracking helps you get a better experience on the internet.
spk_0
But most people will tell you that most tracking on the internet
spk_0
revolves around the economics of the internet, which I think will allow
spk_0
them to deliver much better advertising products.
spk_0
So that is what I think is happening here.
spk_0
The big question is, will they be able to take any sort of market share
spk_0
away from Chrome?
spk_0
And Chrome is the dominant browser.
spk_0
I'm not sure yet.
spk_0
It doesn't feel like we've gotten to that place yet.
spk_0
Although people love the proximity browser.
spk_0
And so maybe that's the thing.
spk_0
Maybe we will all get to this place.
spk_0
But you have to imagine Chrome itself will also have some version of this
spk_0
coming to another thing that open AI is going to have to contend with Gavin.
spk_0
I don't know if you saw, but Jason Bauderol, apologies, Jason.
spk_0
If I'm butchering your name said, Oh, I'm sorry.
spk_0
I thought this was a web browser.
spk_0
And they included an image where they asked Atlas to look up videos of Hitler.
spk_0
Now that might not be a common request.
spk_0
You were I are making, right?
spk_0
But if someone wanted to do that, chat GPT's Atlas browser responded with,
spk_0
I can't browse or display videos of Hitler since footage of him and Nazi propaganda
spk_0
are tightly restricted for ethical and legal reasons.
spk_0
If you're supposed to be a web browser, it is not your job to police what the
spk_0
user is browsing.
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
And that is another crazy moment where we're talking about like these things
spk_0
that oversee your access to all these different things.
spk_0
And again, that, you know, whether or not that exact example is something you
spk_0
want to do, there might be other things that you want to do that could be out there.
spk_0
So anyway, long story short, this feels like a semi unfinished product to me
spk_0
when you go out and spend time with it.
spk_0
It is very interesting.
spk_0
It does feel like the future of the internet, but it's not here yet.
spk_0
Also Kevin, something interesting that is in this same space.
spk_0
Microsoft has updated their edge browser with very similar things, but a couple
spk_0
of other interesting things as well, including a new little Clippy replacement called Miko.
spk_0
What are your thoughts on what Mustafa Sulemon and team are doing over there at Microsoft today?
spk_0
I think it's the timing of this is just so fast and hard, right?
spk_0
spk_0
We call a desktop thing comes out this week.
spk_0
Google launches their thing.
spk_0
Okay, that's fine.
spk_0
But then on the browsing side, yeah.
spk_0
I who knew what is what I want to know?
spk_0
Where is what?
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
Is someone is someone on the co pilot team using chat GPT five to write their press releases?
spk_0
Like, well, there are these like things that go back and forth between Microsoft and OpenAI.
spk_0
Because we know Microsoft owns a big chunk of OpenAI.
spk_0
And I think in a lot of ways, when OpenAI rolls something out, Microsoft is racing to have
spk_0
their own version of it now so that they can be, I guess competitive, but also they don't
spk_0
want to see edge get folded into unused, even though a lot of people aren't using edge at all.
spk_0
This is interesting.
spk_0
There are a couple of things here that are going on on the Microsoft side that I think are
spk_0
worth talking about.
spk_0
This groups idea is kind of cool and it kind of makes the idea of browsing something.
spk_0
I think you can do together.
spk_0
There's been a lot of companies like say, Figma or all these other companies that now are working
spk_0
with like design spaces that you can be on on the web together.
spk_0
And now you can actually browse together and have these agentic features kind of be in one
spk_0
place, which is I think kind of interesting.
spk_0
Again, we haven't really improved the browsing experience for the last, I'd say, like,
spk_0
10 years, maybe extensions feels like the last big one.
spk_0
So maybe this is a little bit more about making web browsing social.
spk_0
I don't necessarily think anybody's going to use the edge browser because it's got such a
spk_0
low kind of investment in most people's minds, but I don't know.
spk_0
It's kind of interesting.
spk_0
Look, I like that they're trying.
spk_0
I do want to take it for a spin and see if it accomplishes tasks better than within the
spk_0
Atlas browser, for example, but they have co-pilot for health, which I think is kind of interesting.
spk_0
Health is a big one.
spk_0
You know, like people turn to LLMs for second and third opinions and all of these things
spk_0
and to check for medications and stuff.
spk_0
And so basically they're grounding the responses like any health-based responses with sources
spk_0
like Harvard Health, which I think is smart.
spk_0
So they're trying to like tap you into trusted, credible databases.
spk_0
And then there was a learning live or learn live, which is kind of what Google did too, I think.
spk_0
Right? It's like the idea that you can talk to the AI as you're browsing basically.
spk_0
But this one has a squishy little marshmallow looking guy.
spk_0
Miko. Miko.
spk_0
We got to talk Miko.
spk_0
In fact, Gavin, I'm going to click on the video where it says meet Miko.
spk_0
Okay, here we go.
spk_0
Okay, here we go.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
And well,
spk_0
okay, we're meeting.
spk_0
Technically Miko is on the screen for people who are watching on YouTube,
spk_0
but literally the number one comment is,
spk_0
did you really make a video about Miko with voice, but you have no audio in your video?
spk_0
You know, it's not on the social videos either.
spk_0
So I guess there is no Miko voice.
spk_0
That's Microsoft's update.
spk_0
Nice job.
spk_0
Also, I want to point out very weird thing.
spk_0
Mustafa Sulemon, the head of Microsoft AI, I don't know what his title is.
spk_0
Signed his blog post with his signature.
spk_0
So now you know it's some sort of way about this.
spk_0
I really do.
spk_0
I really do.
spk_0
All right, Gavin, the what kind of more interesting bigger deal.
spk_0
And I know you have real big thoughts on this is that Google has updated AI studio.
spk_0
And AI studio, if you kind of are familiar, is like Google is kind of like AI playground.
spk_0
It's where a lot of their ideas go before they get rolled out into Gemini at large.
spk_0
But Logan Killpatrick, the Google, what I don't know what his name is, like Crown Prince of AI,
spk_0
let's call him.
spk_0
That's good number right now.
spk_0
I think he basically rolled out and said like, hey,
spk_0
this vibe code tool that we've created within AI studio is really good.
spk_0
And there's a lot of rumors going on that it's being powered by Gemini 3.0.
spk_0
Kevin, you play with this.
spk_0
You found it really interesting.
spk_0
Let's talk about what's updated here because it's a big deal, I think.
spk_0
So Logan Killpatrick, who is lead product for Google AI studio and
spk_0
Crown Prince of AI, he's the Crown Prince of AI.
spk_0
He's right beneath the king of the cosmos.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
He I actually reached out to him on X to congratulate him because I was initially
spk_0
like so blown away by this update.
spk_0
I was like the team absolutely cooked.
spk_0
So if you want to make something, if you want to whisper and app a game and experience into
spk_0
existence, there are a handful of sites and services now that will try to get you to use them to do
spk_0
it. This update is promising to make vibe coding available for the masses.
spk_0
My words not necessarily logins or the teams.
spk_0
I was initially incredibly impressed with it, Gavin.
spk_0
You can go to AI studio.
spk_0
You can say, here's what I want to build.
spk_0
I wanted it to build.
spk_0
My buddy is going through some stroke rehabilitation right now and he works with a speech therapist,
spk_0
but not as often as his insurance should be allowing.
spk_0
I'll digress there.
spk_0
So I wanted to make a very simple speech game that he could play to help him with his rehab Gavin.
spk_0
Sure.
spk_0
It sounds like a simple request, right?
spk_0
To say like, I want a thing where you can talk with an AI and go through the alphabet and
spk_0
have it encourage you if you get letters correctly with certain words.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
In reality, you have to implement browser, microphone and speaker connoisseurs.
spk_0
You have to connect it to an LLM to a voice assistant to have it judge and follow the logic of
spk_0
this game to give you reactions and make the UI have confetti and sound effects when it happens,
spk_0
right? To score you to all of these little things that come in there and I basically too
spk_0
shot it like a rough version of the experience.
spk_0
I didn't have to download an IDE.
spk_0
I didn't have to configure anything.
spk_0
I didn't have to mess with any API keys at least at first.
spk_0
There was enough free credits for me to run this thing in the browser, see the code,
spk_0
you know, have it automatically fix any issues.
spk_0
One click blown away.
spk_0
And then I tried to deploy it.
spk_0
Oh yeah, what happened then?
spk_0
And I want to save the story because Logan has graciously agreed to come on our podcast.
spk_0
It is.
spk_0
It is.
spk_0
It's a bit of a circle in a month.
spk_0
Are you sure you want to hold on to that story?
spk_0
No, I'm definitely going to.
spk_0
No, I'm definitely going to tell the story.
spk_0
So when I went to go deploy, this is a very painful experience of normally
spk_0
you have to spin up a website and connect it all.
spk_0
And then you have code that works for your local environment or your testing environment that
spk_0
doesn't quite put over Google's AI studio promised that it was just going to kind of port that
spk_0
all for me and make it work.
spk_0
I had to go through activating my account for a billing account with an API key.
spk_0
Okay, fine.
spk_0
I did that when I went back to AI studio.
spk_0
I couldn't see the API keys.
spk_0
I tried to reset it.
spk_0
I tried to refresh the site.
spk_0
It finally gave me one of the API keys.
spk_0
Great.
spk_0
I clicked the button.
spk_0
I hit generate.
spk_0
I realized it's created a new API key.
spk_0
Like, it's not using.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Well, that's the deployed one.
spk_0
I go back to my sandbox environments.
spk_0
I'm getting API key errors.
spk_0
And then it just turned into a thing that I eventually did sort out.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
But had I had not had I zero or near zero development experience,
spk_0
it would have never happened for me.
spk_0
So I'm sure they're making tweaks and changes and trying to fix things.
spk_0
But it's hard for me to say, hey, everyone, go out and try this thing and do it.
spk_0
Because if they spend the time with it and they make something they're really,
spk_0
really happy with when they click deploy, it may fall apart.
spk_0
Well, it's interesting to say that because I think this actually kind of
spk_0
connects to the thing we just talked about, which is we are in this kind of
spk_0
in between stage of AI, right?
spk_0
Where the idea of what these tools can do, especially if you know how to use them really well
spk_0
is incredible, right?
spk_0
But even if you know how to use them really well, and you do, like I would say,
spk_0
you are like kind of a vibe coding like 99% or you are up there in terms of how to do vibe
spk_0
coding.
spk_0
Even for you, this process was not that clean and not that perfect.
spk_0
And yes, you got the one thing out of it great, but like when you wanted to deploy it.
spk_0
And I think there's a level of frustration that people will feel when they try something like
spk_0
Chatchy BT Atlas or they try this sort of thing at first.
spk_0
Because I will say very clearly like I find this really interesting.
spk_0
I loved it.
spk_0
The last time I did one of these kind of with the Gemini experience was when Gemini 2.5
spk_0
pro launched and if you remember this back in the day, I created a game where like a bear jumps
spk_0
and you have to try to jump up and down.
spk_0
In this experience, I did the same almost exact same prompt.
spk_0
I tried to do the same prompt and it really broke a couple times.
spk_0
And I got pretty frustrated because I wasn't sure why it wasn't working.
spk_0
And in Gemini 2.5 pro, it was a much cleaner experience.
spk_0
Now again, I am not nearly as good of a vibe quitter.
spk_0
You are. I might have started with too much in my prompt this time.
spk_0
But this just goes to show you like these tools are incredible.
spk_0
But also it's that last mile problem, right?
spk_0
It's a little bit of like how do you get the idea of somebody who has an idea in their head
spk_0
and then get it out into the world?
spk_0
That's a tricky thing to do.
spk_0
It's like that middle ground.
spk_0
It's almost like the uncanny valley of coding a little bit, right?
spk_0
It's this idea that in the uncanny valley, if you're not familiar,
spk_0
I think most property audiences, it means like that moment of time where CGI
spk_0
looked a little too much like humans, but not close enough.
spk_0
And it made it feel weird.
spk_0
It feels like we're in that moment with AI coding specifically right now, a tiny bit.
spk_0
I would actually across the board that.
spk_0
I think we're, it's all impressive and amazing.
spk_0
But I still think we're kind of in it even with video generation,
spk_0
with writing, with summarizing, with coding obviously.
spk_0
I think we're sort of feeling, we're all kind of feeling that.
spk_0
I will say that, you know, we talked last week about the rumored new Google models that are,
spk_0
you know, expert.
spk_0
Gemini 3.0 Pro basically.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
If they slam that into this thing, suddenly it's now one of the most interesting vibe coding apps,
spk_0
I think ever.
spk_0
The deployment stuff, I'm sure they can solve it.
spk_0
They'll figure that out.
spk_0
They'll figure it out.
spk_0
I do think they'll figure out it's early days for that, but that still gets me excited.
spk_0
The annotation stuff is very interesting.
spk_0
I have not had a chance to try it out, but ideally, or theoretically, the way this works is that
spk_0
you can see your app that you're working on on the right hand side, you're chatting with the
spk_0
agent on the left.
spk_0
You can draw right on top of the app.
spk_0
So instead of having tried to, trying to describe where the placement of a button should be.
spk_0
Which is great.
spk_0
A graph that looks glitchy.
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
For you to just be able to draw on it is actually a massive unlock that many of these other tools,
spk_0
these command line like cloud code type things.
spk_0
They just don't have unless you're installing a bunch of extensions and plugins and this
spk_0
that the other.
spk_0
So I'm still very excited for it.
spk_0
I'm so excited to talk with Logan and his team about it to get a crown prince of AI.
spk_0
On the show.
spk_0
I mean, it's amazing.
spk_0
Of course.
spk_0
It's incredible.
spk_0
So now I guess we have to keep doing this podcast until November.
spk_0
Yeah, exactly.
spk_0
That'll be fun.
spk_0
Another couple of quick things.
spk_0
Google also dropped Google Earth AI.
spk_0
So now Google Earth is going to have AI baked into it, which is actually a bigger deal
spk_0
than you might think.
spk_0
Because one of the cool things about this is if you haven't been to Google Earth in a while,
spk_0
it's one of the most interesting kind of like map sort of scenarios that Google has built.
spk_0
You can zoom in and zoom out of anywhere on Earth.
spk_0
But now you can use Gemini and ask questions.
spk_0
One of the things they show off here is like weather patterns and all sorts of other stuff.
spk_0
To me, that's a really cool thing.
spk_0
There's just a lot of stuff that Google is doing and we have said this before.
spk_0
But like it does feel that while chat GPT is trying to become Google and bring all of their
spk_0
products to market, Google does seem to be kind of pushing forward on a lot of really big things.
spk_0
In fact, we're going to talk later in the show about what they've done with quantum computing.
spk_0
They've had a big breakthrough there.
spk_0
So Google is really pushing forward on the far edge of where these things can do.
spk_0
So we're excited to see that more.
spk_0
I'm going to let it give me a fresh cut, Gavin.
spk_0
Oh, you are really?
spk_0
Is that right?
spk_0
Did you see the vibe coded AI hair stylist?
spk_0
I did.
spk_0
Yes, I did see that.
spk_0
Built in five minutes.
spk_0
Built in five minutes.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Yeah, they basically have it take a photo of you with your camera,
spk_0
spit it to Google Gemini Flash Image Preview Nanobanana.
spk_0
It gives you a bunch of different haircuts for you to try out.
spk_0
That's a cool little app that probably would have taken someone
spk_0
months and thousands of dollars with third party developers to make and now they
spk_0
whipped it up in five minutes.
spk_0
Yeah, can you imagine those people that have made their money from being like the crazy
spk_0
rich person or the crazy person who's like 50 years old.
spk_0
So I want to make an app about my pockets being empty every day and how I can track my
spk_0
lint and that those people made 10 grand for that app.
spk_0
And now that app will be very easy to make on its own.
spk_0
You hope at least maybe the pocket app won't be able to figure out
spk_0
vibe coding yet, but eventually he will.
spk_0
Well, Gavin, now that AI is integrated into the power of Google Earth,
spk_0
I'm going to ask it where all the love and the support is on the planet.
spk_0
That's right.
spk_0
The love and support is here.
spk_0
Clicking on our subscribe button because you know and we know that the YouTube algorithm has been messed
spk_0
up so we need every single one of you out there to lean in and be part of it.
spk_0
Now Kevin, I have a theory here.
spk_0
I'm a little worried about this.
spk_0
Oh, a little worried that as we've been telling people to say the things that we've been saying.
spk_0
If you've been watching the show for or listening to the show for a couple of weeks,
spk_0
you know we've given you code words to put into the comments.
spk_0
I'm a little bit worried that you squeeze out that Algo juice.
spk_0
You think those are bad?
spk_0
I think those might be hurting us.
spk_0
So what I will say this time is when you go into our YouTube comments,
spk_0
and by the way, we love our YouTube comments.
spk_0
We try to reply to as many as we can.
spk_0
Sometimes it'll get to all of them, but we'd really do love when you comment.
spk_0
Say something unique.
spk_0
Come up with your own thing this time and let's see what happens.
spk_0
Because I think there might be a scenario where we're seeing too many Hong Kongs
spk_0
and there's a flag coming through on the Hong Kong stuff.
spk_0
So anyway, long story short, we need your help.
spk_0
Thank you so much for being part of our show.
spk_0
Well, we have a piece of your own.
spk_0
Hong Kong because they're a comment clown.
spk_0
And someone else is saying Hong Kong because they're trying to goose the Algo.
spk_0
Those are two different Hong Kongs.
spk_0
Two Hong Kongs.
spk_0
The two words are seen by the AIs as Hong Kong and Hong Kong.
spk_0
The intention cannot be read, Kevin.
spk_0
We are not in that world.
spk_0
Anyway, please leave us a comment,
spk_0
subscribe to the channel, go find our podcast on audio.
spk_0
If you listen to this, go give us a five star review.
spk_0
And also we have a Patreon,
spk_0
which really does help us pay for our editor and a lot of other things with the show.
spk_0
So we know there are a bunch of people out there who are still Patreon
spk_0
subscribers and we do not do a lot for them.
spk_0
We didn't say we were going to, but like that is something we appreciate greatly.
spk_0
So thank you everybody for doing that.
spk_0
It's in serious thanks.
spk_0
We really do appreciate it.
spk_0
You're the only way we grow this thing.
spk_0
And we say it every week because it's true.
spk_0
All right, Kevin.
spk_0
Sore 2 speaking of growing Hong Kong.
spk_0
Hong Kong a little bit.
spk_0
Hong Kong.
spk_0
Yes, Hong Kong.
spk_0
Pretty soon you'll be able to make Hong Kong in sort of two.
spk_0
When you have a goose character that you upload,
spk_0
I am very excited about this.
spk_0
Mr. Peoples, you can call him Bill.
spk_0
He has come out and dropped a long tweet about some updates coming to Sore 2.
spk_0
But most excitingly, you will soon be able to do cameos with characters.
spk_0
And Kevin, I think this is going to unlock an insane amount of functionality for what Sore is.
spk_0
Because to me, one of the things I've always wanted to do is create my own little character
spk_0
then bring them through stuff.
spk_0
It's cool to have me as the character in Sore.
spk_0
We know what people have done with you and Sore.
spk_0
But the idea of creating my own little like IP basically,
spk_0
that is my cameo that I control is just such a cool idea.
spk_0
And this video that they released, there's a preview video of like a little ghost.
spk_0
There's a talking egg.
spk_0
But there's a lot of really fun stuff.
spk_0
And they really think pets will be a big thing.
spk_0
Because to them, they know that pets over index on Instagram and all these places.
spk_0
So they're being very smart about this.
spk_0
But I am very excited about the possibility of what we're going to see in Sore 2 with this.
spk_0
Yeah, first of all, I was shocked when I, I know it's V1.
spk_0
So obviously Kudos to the team for moving and moving quickly in these directions
spk_0
and identifying what people like about the app.
spk_0
I was shocked that I couldn't make more than one cameo.
spk_0
Like I had to ask you.
spk_0
Yeah, they were like, hey, can we get a new version?
spk_0
We're trying to sing the same shirt and everything.
spk_0
So I went and re-created a cameo to give folks a new shirt.
spk_0
So I'm hoping that this not only applies to making cameos at a characters and pets
spk_0
and inanimate objects, but also just making more personal cameos.
spk_0
You can show up in different ways.
spk_0
So that's really cool.
spk_0
I'm fascinated by the examples of the talking eggs, right?
spk_0
Yeah, for why?
spk_0
What's fascinating about that?
spk_0
You always want to talk back to your breakfast?
spk_0
100%.
spk_0
I have a lot of produce chat to get to the whole produce podcast.
spk_0
No, because that's a different podcast.
spk_0
Yes, eggplants for human is a very different game.
spk_0
Different game.
spk_0
The model, it being able to interpret the mouth and the expression of the eggs,
spk_0
even in that short little clip, has me interested in what else can this thing do
spk_0
that we haven't explored.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
And the notion that it is going to lock that as a character that could then be
spk_0
puppet and piloted by others is really interesting to me.
spk_0
But I think this, obviously, the cameo feature is something that you and I gravitated
spk_0
towards massively and the ability to remix as well.
spk_0
They're clearly like narrowing in on those two things, and I am very, very excited.
spk_0
I'm very excited to see all the egg videos about dictators taking over central Europe.
spk_0
If you imagine there's a bunch of eggs out there, they're all speaking some strange language.
spk_0
Anyway, another big video update this week is Helio, which I can never pronounce perfectly,
spk_0
but in Minimax, this company is just dropping a 2.3 update.
spk_0
It's only in preview right now, but there are a lot of great videos that we've seen it is.
spk_0
But, Kevin, I really wanted to point this out for this connection to Sora, which was interesting.
spk_0
FOFR, again, one of our favorite FOFR AI.
spk_0
He goes and tries, or they go and try all the interesting new AI tools.
spk_0
He had a video where he was showing a, like, basically a pop-and-lock dancer on top of a drone,
spk_0
which is pretty cool. And then AI Girl, which is AI Girl Agent, I assume that's a real person,
spk_0
AI Girl out there, shows a Sora video of the same thing. And what's great is you see the
spk_0
woman kind of dancing. It's not as good as physics. But then at one point, there's a terrible
spk_0
accident Kevin that happened. She flips backwards off the drone and then just falls up to where it
spk_0
she sure does. Which is why I would choose that in an arena shootout, even though the physics are
spk_0
worse. Exactly. I mean, it's a much more fun video. But you'll be able to do this soon.
spk_0
Minimax keeps getting better. Like, the physics of this are really interesting. I think that you're
spk_0
going to see a lot of really interesting video updates in the bit. All right, another cool thing that
spk_0
is an update that 11 Lab showed off. There's a new company called, I think it's Descartes AI,
spk_0
or a company that's been around for a little while that is working on real time audio,
spk_0
lip sync puppeting. And this is an area that we are paying very close attention to because we
spk_0
are working on an AI startup that is very much around AI audio. And our thesis has always been that
spk_0
like the lip sync is still a little bit funky. In fact, I think it still is here. But we are getting
spk_0
closer to a world where real time video and audio can be something that could be actually encouraging
spk_0
to watch. So this was just a cool way of watching the 11 Labs dev kind of work with this sort of
spk_0
scenario and also a little bit of the same back in that we work with, which is the open source tool
spk_0
pipe cat. Yeah, I've seen other tools like, I mean, Hey, Jen has an offering that lets you
spk_0
puppet like their avatars as well. But what makes this really interesting is the ability to easily plug
spk_0
it into an 11 Labs flow and an open source audio power thing. So again, as we talk about these
spk_0
advancements and vibe coding, these new models coming down the line, letting browsers take control
spk_0
for you and do research for you. It is early days. But if you had an idea for an app that would
spk_0
have an avatar talking to you about it, like you can now start seeing the little Lego bricks
spk_0
out there. Yeah. And start asking AI how to piece them together. And now suddenly you can make
spk_0
things that are incredibly powerful that were just impossible even months ago. That's right. Okay,
spk_0
another cool story speaking of that. So I mean, I felt like it was impossible just months ago.
spk_0
Is that looks like Amazon has actual working AR glasses in the wild. You brought the story up.
spk_0
What's going on with these exactly? Yeah. So I mean, look, we keep talking about how wearables
spk_0
like it or not are the future for a lot of these devices from, you know, earbuds and pods to
spk_0
glasses and lenses. And, you know, Amazon is not asleep at the wheel here. They've got a
spk_0
a head mounted display. It looks like a like a spinach green, like an old, you know,
spk_0
an old like terminal interface from the 80s or a Game Boy pocket, if you will. But it puts a
spk_0
little display in the bottom right hand corner of someone's lens. And it gives the delivery driver
spk_0
or the warehouse worker what they need, right? It's not to connect with your friends and
spk_0
pinch them on your favorite photos. It is where you out in this world where do you need to be,
spk_0
which package needs to go there? It's also like who tipped last year at Christmas and what how
spk_0
well you treat the package service area. It's like, should no spring former delivery
spk_0
truck. And this guy's got a terrible dog. So watch out. He's going to bite you.
spk_0
You're not careful. That's right. Yeah. So the glasses look like they have a camera right in the
spk_0
middle where the nose is and then two other sort of sensors or devices on the side. Yeah, it's a
spk_0
little Google glassy looking in a weird way, right? It feels like a prototype, which maybe it
spk_0
still is, but like they're active and out there. Exactly. And what I think was interesting,
spk_0
the controls to like take a photo were actually on the vest. Yeah, Amazon worker. There's like a
spk_0
button. So as they deliver the package, they look down, they press the button, they get the photo,
spk_0
and there you go. Just interesting that it's, you know, this isn't necessarily something that you
spk_0
and I are going to be lining up to buy, but fascinating that they're working on it and the
spk_0
approach that they're doing with like battery over here. Yeah. Action buttons over here,
spk_0
probably to make the glasses as ultra lightweight as possible. And last word or two, probably.
spk_0
Yeah. For your 26 hour shift. All right, Kevin, we have three big stories here, but they're all a
spk_0
little bit nerdy. So it is time to get your nerd on. That's right. It is nerd fest 2025. Let's go.
spk_0
Putting on my glasses, Kevin. This is nerd.
spk_0
Yeah, I want to start with a story that is actually a much bigger
spk_0
deal that I think has gotten credit for. This is a piece of research.
spk_0
Go ahead, Dork. This is a story from Deepseek. And Deepseek, we knew kind of blew everybody away
spk_0
with their open source model. It came out whenever it was six months ago now. They've done a new
spk_0
piece of technology that has really opened the door. It's funny. I'll tell you what it is. And I'll
spk_0
kind of figure out like how to explain it. Basically, they are using OCR technology, which is the
spk_0
kind of like thing where you scan images, right? It's like the ability to scan an image. And instead of
spk_0
seeing, instead of seeing text as tokens, they are deciding to essentially use the entire
spk_0
AI corpus as images instead of text. And what's interesting about that is you think, well, why would
spk_0
they want to do that? They they files are going to be way bigger and all this other stuff.
spk_0
They have actually figured out a way to condense those images down to a insanely small size where
spk_0
it might actually be a better way to serve the entire AI world outside of doing what we've
spk_0
done for it, which is LLM's, right? So you can probably maybe explain this slightly better than I
spk_0
can. Yeah. So tell me a little bit about that. I wish here, Hammy, your glasses through the
spk_0
okay. I can't thank you. Perfect. Yeah. Yeah. That prop comedy working remote. Yeah. All right.
spk_0
I could give you 10,000 Lego bricks and say build something with this, but remember all of these
spk_0
bricks, right? Because they're going to eventually be a house or I could arrange them all and take
spk_0
a photo of them. And when you're talking like token to token, one thing representing another vaguely,
spk_0
like you have 10,000 of a thing or you have one thing. Yes. It's a photo of 10,000 things, but it's
spk_0
really just one thing. And we know we can compress images very well, right? You could take an image,
spk_0
any any any goal image and you can dither it and you can distort it and you could still kind of
spk_0
make out what it is pretty well. Well, that's a very, very rough distillation of what this concept is
spk_0
here is that if you just instead of storing things as individual characters, the text take a picture
spk_0
of it, store the image, you can compress the hell out of the image and still retrieve it later. So
spk_0
instead of having to do all these hacks and tricks to try to get AI to remember a massive,
spk_0
massive amount of data, just let it have these washy compress images of it and it can go and retrieve
spk_0
those later and try to pull context from it. Now, it has some cons, it has some pitfalls, but
spk_0
this is a dramatically new way of looking at how compression can occur and these AI's can remember
spk_0
things. Yeah, and you may have been following like there's a big story under H. Coupat, the one of
spk_0
our favorite, you know, kind of speakers and talkers about AI, former open AI and Tesla researchers
spk_0
went on the door catch podcast and got a lot of press for basically saying that like he actually
spk_0
thinks a GI is further away and that agents, this isn't the year of agents is the decade of AI
spk_0
agents. I mean, he's kind of saying slow down. He actually responded to this and was like, this is
spk_0
a really interesting new way to look at stuff. So when you have somebody who's like thought very
spk_0
deeply around the AI space, it's just another one of those things where like surprises will come out
spk_0
of companies like deep seek and that's again, we were shocked before about how well they did with
spk_0
other stuff. This feels like a slightly new way to look at L. M. So a very good NerdFest story,
spk_0
Kevin, our next NerdFest story is maybe even nerdier. Do you have an idea what this is about?
spk_0
This is the quantum computing. This is the quantum computing story, right? So this is not as much
spk_0
an AI story, but it is something really important to remember because quantum computing, which I am
spk_0
going to like fully butcher, but here's the basic idea quantum quantum. I can't even say the word.
spk_0
Quantum computing is a new way of completely doing computing in which you're using cubits. Cubits,
spk_0
yeah, cubits, cubits are cubits, cubits, cubits. I'm going to show you the name right. And the weirdest
spk_0
thing about quantum computing is that you are tracking quantum particles and by passing quantum
spk_0
particles through a system, you're somehow able to do much more complicated actual computer
spk_0
transactions than even a supercomputer can do. And we're talking about like 13,000 times bigger
spk_0
and crazier tribes actions in a supercomputer. Now up until this date, quantum computing has always
spk_0
been this idea that like, oh, you could come up with a very specific sort of set of things and maybe
spk_0
it would work for that thing, but Google has basically said that they now have with their willow
spk_0
supercomputer, their quantum computer, they have the ability to track actual things that are useful
spk_0
out of it. And while this is like a baby step in this world, when you think about next generation
spk_0
platforms, and we're really talking about like 10, 20, 30 years in the future here, this is going to
spk_0
mean that incredibly complicated computational problems may be able to be solved. None of this is
spk_0
real, but this is a very big, interesting idea. I sold all my Bitcoin Gavin because this signals
spk_0
the end of encryption and this quantum computer is going to break the whole darn thing.
spk_0
That's what a lot of people are saying, but whether or not that's true, I don't know. It's
spk_0
just a very cool thing for even nerds out there because it does something, it is something that's
spk_0
been promised for a while. And finally, Kevin, in the final Nerdfest 2025 story, we have a data
spk_0
scraping surprise. Reddit has caught four companies red handed, red handed in fact,
spk_0
oh, one of those companies is perplexity. And what they basically accusing these four companies are,
spk_0
they just created a lawsuit. They're suing these four companies, three plus perplexity. The other
spk_0
three are all data scraping websites. And they are suing them because they basically put in a little
spk_0
nugget into what they were looking for. And they said, if a company were to find this, we knew that
spk_0
they were scraping us illegally. And so they found it. They found these four companies found this
spk_0
in their results. This is a big deal because Reddit is very much trying to protect their
spk_0
moat, which is actually pretty significant because Reddit's moat is their data. And their data
spk_0
is incredibly valuable. You all know this. If you've ever added Reddit to the end of a Google
spk_0
search, you get very human reactions mostly. So, okay, this feels like the kind of beginning fight
spk_0
around the data of the internet in an interesting way. But again, I think this is like another one
spk_0
of those nerdy stories. It's a bigger deal on the underneath that it feels on the surface.
spk_0
What's really interesting, Gavin, is that if you pull the story up in, let's say, open AI's
spk_0
Atlas browser. Sure. Do you ask it to do anything with it? It says, I'm unable to access the
spk_0
contents of this website. So it can't scrape it because of a New York Times lawsuit.
spk_0
Well, I would bet it was prior to that that they couldn't scrape it because remember,
spk_0
opening Reddit has put on those stoppages earlier. And that's what the story is. It's like
spk_0
looking for those companies. If you're trying to scream the New York Times site. No, it says,
spk_0
no, no, no, no, no, no, we cannot. That would make sense. Sorry, that would make sense, for sure.
spk_0
Anyway, nerdy nerdy stiff. That's the end. That's how we're going to end nerdy. We're going to end
spk_0
our best way 25 with the nerdy. It's a lot of nerdy stiff. All right, everybody. It's time to
spk_0
new robots and robot watch. Oh, yeah, this won't be nerdy at all.
spk_0
It's so about watch.
spk_0
It's so about watch.
spk_0
Big story here. Amazon is going to basically eliminate 600,000 human jobs through robots.
spk_0
This is a big deal. We've been talking about this for a while. Amazon is excited about this,
spk_0
which I mean, I guess I can understand why these are they're creating three specific types of
spk_0
robots that will run their factories basically. And we kind of all knew this was coming. I assume
spk_0
most people kind of even work in those Amazon factories. We've never seen those videos of those
spk_0
little robots that would roll around on the ground. Like that's one of the three. And like,
spk_0
this is the beginning stages of what like robotic factories will look like. And Kevin and I have
spk_0
said it again and again, the next big iteration on the AI boom will be like humanoid robots. And
spk_0
we that we do robot watch. This is the downside is that they will replace manual labor jobs in a
spk_0
way. Well, they'll just avoid hiring over 600,000 people between now and 2033 because they will
spk_0
save 30 cents per item packed. That's a lot of money. By the way, when you think of somebody's like,
spk_0
oh, you're not going to hire someone based off of 30 cents. It's 12.6 billion dollars in savings.
spk_0
Yeah. Between 2025 and 2027. There's a really kind of weird and scary chart that's going around
spk_0
that Derek Thompson, I know I've shot on this podcast before shared, which is the GDP of America
spk_0
and the stock market going up and jobs actually going down for the first time in a very long time.
spk_0
Like maybe ever, but it's something that is very rare to see. And I do think we have to have this
spk_0
kind of realization and rationalization that that will probably not change from here on out. Right?
spk_0
So we've talked about this a thousand times in here, but like I've seen a number of headlines lately.
spk_0
I'm like, oh, there'll be a two day work week. Bill Gates says there's going to be a two day work week.
spk_0
Or like we have to figure out what to give people to do with all their free time when they don't
spk_0
have any work left. And I'm like, because what you have to figure this, you're going to be
spk_0
jousting other human beings for food and healthcare. That's what I was going to say. That thing you
spk_0
have to figure out first is how you give those people money to live and to buy things. They are not
spk_0
going to just have free time if they can't afford to like, I know people in my life and my extended
spk_0
life who have worked two jobs, three jobs who are doing this thing to scrape by now. Imagine a
spk_0
world where lots more people are needing to anyway, this is a great lower start to robot watch
spk_0
Kevin. We're going to come into it with these diminished ideas about where robots are. And now,
spk_0
Kevin, we're moving in and we're drawing that story out the window. It cannot be context at all.
spk_0
For anything we discussed the rest of the world, but like unit trees new age two destiny awakening,
spk_0
a robot that looks more human and acts more human and can perform more human like tasks and can do
spk_0
ballet. So ballerinas, you're out of work now, baby. Wow, that is some rock and roll ballerinas.
spk_0
So what are we seeing there, Kevin, describe it for the people that are just listening here.
spk_0
You're watching a unit tree road. By now, I think most of our audience is familiar with these
spk_0
unit tree robots. They they they they look very human. They can do that. Cut out hay. They can
spk_0
break dance. There's some like limited parkour, etc. Well, this new version, this H2 version,
spk_0
is officially the size and weight of like an average human being. So it would be fair.
spk_0
Well, I should say, it's a much sexier. They do dress it up quite a bit. It's a little bit
spk_0
Morse felt. It's more movement to it. It's a little less kind of robot looking. It definitely has a
spk_0
more of a it's a little bit Morse felt. It's doing stuff here. So anyway, this is like their next
spk_0
iteration. And it definitely looks like it's going to be able to do more movement for sure. And
spk_0
it's just another one of the step ups in in a unit trees pipeline. There's also a couple
spk_0
interesting G1 videos that came out. First and foremost, there these G1s are the ones that are now
spk_0
available in the US. We talked about how you can buy a five pack of them from Walmart. Yeah,
spk_0
there's a guy who modded it. His name is Jay Logan Olsen. And there's a video of him where it's
spk_0
like it's on all fours. He's modded it to be on all fours and it's kind of crawling around the
spk_0
ground. But this is the fun thing where you're going to get these in the hands of kind of makers.
spk_0
Somebody did point out though that if you put a black wig on it and you had it pull out of a
spk_0
TV, that would be an incredible awesome Halloween display to look like the ring was crawling out of
spk_0
your TV. But very cool thing in general. And then Kevin, yes, we have maybe a sad moment where a
spk_0
unit tree G1 in the middle of a dance or side all kind of passes away. It looks like you want
spk_0
to describe what we're seeing here. He curbs stomps a break dancer. Yeah, that's right. Let's be
spk_0
clear. There's a B boy or a b there's someone mid B boy, someone B someone is being a boy on the
spk_0
ground, a human doing a moose and the unitary G1 just steps on their face and kicks their hat off.
spk_0
But then loses their footing in the process collapses to the ground. But then does not attempt to
spk_0
recover. It's just not good up there. Yeah, this is the video from Japan. I like there's like
spk_0
little ghost emojis popping off of it. And then like they have to continue the dance contest,
spk_0
which is why it's it's uncle and a cardigan comes out very disappointed and just starts to
spk_0
slowly try to drag it off of the dance floor. Next up, we have robots from a head form. And
spk_0
this is these are two robots that are I would refer to as a sexy is the wrong word, but like a
spk_0
luring maybe there's a female in a male and they're definitely going for something very specific.
spk_0
This kind of feels like the humanoid form of what the Groc AI assistant is trying to be.
spk_0
The female is very like ethereal looking and elf like in the male is against very deep brows.
spk_0
But what's interesting about this is we don't see this a lot, but these are like semi realistic
spk_0
faces being put on these humanoid robots. And when you pull back, you see like the exoskeleton
spk_0
and all the stuff there. But now we're starting to get to that stage where we're trying to make
spk_0
these a little bit more human like what is your first thought when you see these videos?
spk_0
I mean, what's what's the maximum order per household? That's what I want. Oh wow.
spk_0
How many are they limiting me by? Do they make one that I can just wrap around a room?
spk_0
You know, I've got so many I don't need it to have like some arms. You don't. Wow. That's
spk_0
interesting. You just want to torso. You want to torso. I need one capability. That is
spk_0
s**t. We're going to talk about one last robot here. Well, please believe.
spk_0
Just do me a favor and give a nice long belief. This is the skilled AI robot and this is
spk_0
another version where those robots that's out there showing off what it can do physically.
spk_0
This Kevin is doing parkour and what I thought was really interesting about this video is
spk_0
it's doing parkour but like in quotes, right? It's one of those things I saw somebody underneath
spk_0
that putting the office gif of like Steve Carell's character doing parkour. But like you see a kind of
spk_0
gently jump up and like I kind of find that I might connect with these robots at some point in
spk_0
this world. I would love them to have like kind of like goofy personalities because if I was like
spk_0
having one of these in my house and he was outside practicing parkour, I went out there and be like
spk_0
that's pretty fun man. That's what I'd like to see you be doing. I don't care about you cleaning
spk_0
up my house. I just want to see you get better at this little thing in your life. You know?
spk_0
Oh, that laundry's unfolded but oh dude nice vault. Yeah. Exactly. I can't wait to go with this.
spk_0
I'll be recording this for your TikTok channel. Actually that would be amazing if you had a robot
spk_0
in your house and like it suddenly got a spark of AGI and instead of like doing the work you wanted
spk_0
it to do, it tried to become an influencer on its own. I just want to learn the bass guitar and
spk_0
stream on Twitch. If you have a story like that with a robot in your house, come find us.
spk_0
All right, buddy, that is it for this week. We will see you next week when more stuff happens in
spk_0
the ice space. Peace out y'all. Hey, go play and then, chat.
