Deepfakes | Tim Apple | Open AI Devday
On the Gregory and Paul Show, we break down the latest in startups, SaaS, AI, and whatever the internet is debating this week.
This episode hits Apple CEO rumors, OpenAI’s app marketplace, the rise of spec-driven development, deepfake ethics, and the grind behind creating viral content. Plus: Mark Cuban’s AI challenge, Sora’s cultural shockwave, and Gregory’s chaotic SF event planning.
️ Episode 018 – Highlights
Tim Apple and the End of an Era (0:00)
Gregory calls in from WeWork and dives into rumors that Tim Cook may step down. The hosts debate his legacy: operational genius or creative slowdown? Paul argues Apple’s never been “behind” on AI—just perfectly timed for mainstream waves.
OpenAI Dev Day and the App Store for AI (11:01)
OpenAI launches a full app marketplace with Figma, Expedia, Spotify, and Booking.com integrations. Paul loves the vision of chat as the new browser. Gregory calls it a “command-line nightmare” no normal user wants. Cue live demo of AI playlist-making chaos.
AI Playlist Fails and Command-Line UX (14:00)
Gregory tests ChatGPT + Spotify to build a Halloween playlist and album art. The results: vibes good, UX terrible. Paul argues voice input could save the experience; Gregory says Steve Jobs would hate this UI.
Spec-Driven Development (22:46)
Paul introduces “spec-driven development,” a shift away from code as truth toward AI-generated plans and human language specs. Gregory compares it to moving from assembly to modern languages—a new layer of abstraction for vibe coding at scale.
The YouTube Growth Curve (35:17)
Gregory shows The Gregory and Paul Show’s analytics jump—from three views to 3,400+ after daily shorts. Lesson: everything looks like a waste of time until it’s not. Volume + consistency = breakthrough.
Deepfakes and the Post-Truth Internet (39:45)
Mark Cuban dares fans to make deepfakes of him. Gregory recalls Sam Altman’s take: “we have to learn to live with deepfakes.” The hosts debate blockchain authentication vs a world where nothing is verifiable. Paul calls it “the post-fact internet.”
YouTube’s Secret AI Generator (49:35)
Gregory uncovers a hidden YouTube tool that auto-builds videos and titles from existing content—a “deepfake engine for creators.” Neither of them has heard anyone else talk about it yet.
Living With Deepfakes (53:00)
From Sora videos to AI Elon Musk endorsements, Gregory and Paul predict a “War of the Worlds”-style crisis will force regulation and new authenticity standards. Until then, they embrace the chaos.
️ SF Founder + VC Mixer Update (57:47)
Gregory shares behind-the-scenes drama of his October 28 San Francisco event—two venues canceled last minute, a third saved the day. Still on track for 100 founders and 40 investors. Got a big SF house? He’ll turn it into a tech party.
