It's a crazy week launching all the big headlines from MWC 2026!

Robots, and AI, and WACKY new phones!

Plus we should spend a little time discussing Samsung's "new" Galaxy S phones.

We're keeping this week's show a little more casual, but we'll still get our tech week started off RIGHT!

It's an AI heavy episode, and I'm bringing out some big guns!

OpenAI is making some hardware, and while that's kinda stupid, we're REALLY more concerned about the plans for adult content. Disney and Paramount are putting pressure on Bytedance to remove copyrighted characters from Seedance Gen AI tools. Google and Microsoft are trying to find influencers to promote AI, but fewer are taking the cash.

And I have a chat with Michael Nordquist, VP of Product Marketing at AMD, to talk about the hardware side of consumer AI.

Let's get our tech week started off RIGHT!
