Get the Check

Google's Gemini 3, Suno AI music, Nucleus Genomics


Listen Later

In this episode of Get the Check the pod returns from Thanksgiving break and their podcast offsite. They debrief the Gemini 3 model drop, AI music start up Suno, and Nucleus Genomics’ current controversies.

They start with Gemini 3 and how Google has been able to catch up in the AI race by proving they don’t need Nvidia GPUs to create a state of the art model. TPUs deliver significantly more performance per watt which becomes a huge deal when you are spending billions on training cycles. A big part of the conversation is whether Gemini 3 is bearish for Nvidia. Even though the stock reacted to the announcement the girls argue that Nvidia is still printing money with a 62 percent revenue jump and that Gemini’s success might actually be bullish because it validates even more demand for training compute. Long term there could be competition between GPUs and TPUs but today the world needs both.

Then they jump into Suno and the very spicy Warner Music settlement. They unpack how text to music models work, what this partnership actually means for artists, and why Warner agreed to this deal instead of continuing with their lawsuit. Tune in to hear Priya and Anika’s old diss track which they run through Suno’s tech. Finally they discuss the ethics of AI generated music and why this company has faced so much internet backlash. They give their hot take on why they disagree with some of it.

For the Get the Check segment they revisit a company they previously said would get their check called Nucleus Genomics which provides embryo selection software and explain why they are taking their imaginary check back. They go through the plagiarism allegations, the scientific concerns, the wild competitor drama, and the huge NYC subway campaign that made everyone on the internet mad although of course it still led to a massive spike in sales. They explore the parallels and differences compared to 23andMe, Theranos, and the broader question of what happens when tech optimism collides with actual clinical validity.
