Video Will Never Be The Same: How Veo3 is Breaking the Internet Jun 19, 2025

Show notes

Google’s new video model Veo 3 just let one creator crank out a $2 k, three-day commercial that ran in the NBA Finals—proof that AI can out-produce multimillion-dollar ad agencies overnight. We break down how its eight-second clips with built-in sound now enable talking characters, viral absurdity, and creator-less channels, from stormtrooper vlogs to fake pharma spots. But Veo 3’s realism also fuels deep-fake missile strikes and reality-bending stunts, so spotting the fraud is becoming a full-time job. Stick around for our chat with solo mastermind PJ Ace to hear how he pulled off the ad that fooled millions.

Why Apple's Siri Is Still So Bad In The Age Of AI… Or Is It? Jun 12, 2025

Show notes

WWDC 25 left Twitter roasting “Liquid Glass,” yet we dig past the glossy UI to uncover Apple’s real AI play: MLX-powered, on-device inference that could turn 2 billion iPhones into a zero-cost compute network. We debate whether that makes Apple a sleeping giant or just late. Then we unpack Apple’s own research paper calling frontier “reasoning” models overrated, just as OpenAI drops O3 Pro: a PhD-level assistant that writes business plans, slashes API costs 80 %, and arrives with an uncannily human voice mode that’s already replacing therapists and drinking buddies. From the rise of AI companions (hello, digital spouses?) to $100 M signing bonuses luring elite researchers from Big Tech to Anthropic & OpenAI, we map the new talent war and what it means for the rest of us. Strap in for rants, hot takes, and the AI stories that actually matter beyond the hype of liquid…ass.

U.S. vs China's Race to Superintelligence | Jeremie & Edouard Harris Jun 11, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, Jeremie and Edouard Harris, co-founders of Gladstone AI and national security advisors, join us to break down the real score in the U.S.–China AI race.
We unpack what it actually means to “win” in AI: from cutting-edge model development and compute infrastructure to data center vulnerabilities, state-sponsored espionage, and the rise of robotic warfare. The Harris brothers explain why energy is the hidden battleground, how supply chains have become strategic liabilities, and why export controls alone won’t save us.
This is not just a geopolitical showdown - it’s a race for superintelligence, and the clock is ticking.
