Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

The problem with Altman’s “gentle singularity,” Apple’s AI missteps, and Google’s fading ad model | Live with Azeem Azhar


Listen Later

Broadcasting live from Paris, I tackle three massive technology stories that are reshaping our digital future. From Apple's stunning interface redesign to the collapse of traditional search advertising, and Sam Altman's vision of an AI singularity that's already begun - this episode captures the tectonic shifts happening in tech right now.

I cover:

(1:32) WWDC 2025:  Apple’s AI challenges and new UI

(6:06) The decline of Google’s ad model

(10:08) Sam Altman’s Gentle Singularity essay

(19:37) Live audience Q&A

(19:45) Is the singularity really about Altman?

(22:13) Is France carrying Europe’s AI dreams?

(24:58) Are you seeing promising AI hardware?

(27:42) How will AI change software pricing?
