The Insanely Great Podcast

An AI Apology and Apple Absurdities


Listen Later

In this episode of the Insanely Great Podcast, Christopher Weeks and DJ Moore tackle gym etiquette in the age of TikTok, the trillion-dollar race between Nvidia and Anthropic, the global RAM shortage that's about to mess up your next Mac order, and what Apple actually has to prove at WWDC after their $256M AI settlement.

Along the way: iOS 26.5's new RCS encryption (and why you probably won't see it work), Chris Pirillo's vibe-coded Signal Flare project for getting your social accounts back, Meta secretly training AI on its own employees, a Nvidia robot running on under 4 billion parameters, and the time Chris's daughter caught him using AI to write her an apology.
