About this episode

This week on our show, the hosts start with new hardware, as NVIDIA launches its Jetson Thor robotics computer. They then shift to the market, where analysts are warning of an AI stock bubble and a new paper explains why AI isn't ready to be an autonomous coder. The hosts also cover a new report on the top 100 consumer AI apps, which shows the market is stabilizing. They explore the dual use of AI, as studies show LLMs are transforming stock analysis, while hackers are weaponizing chatbots for theft. The discussion also covers a new self-training AI method from Tencent called R-Zero. On the product front, Microsoft AI is launching its own models, and Google's Gemini app is receiving a major upgrade to its image editing capabilities. They conclude with a look at the increasingly religious language used to describe AI's potential in Silicon Valley.
