This week, AI meets ROI with Vivek Mahapatra — Salesforce exec, systems thinker, and part-time myth slayer. We talk agentic design, scaling AI like a grown-up, and preparing humans (and kids) for what’s next. Meanwhile, RAINA dishes on Meta’s metaverse breakup, England’s AI-assisted football dreams, and a copyright lawsuit that could rewrite the AI playbook.

NotebookLM isn’t just taking notes anymore — she’s designing decks, sketching infographics, and storyboarding explainer videos from your own source material. We revisit Google’s under-the-radar AI researcher and explore how it’s quietly becoming a one-stop content studio for work, school, and strategy. Plus: poetic jailbreaks, orbital AI chips, and why China’s analog breakthrough might just flip the whole compute game.

Gemini 3 has landed and it’s not just smarter, it’s vibier. From solving PhD-level science to designing apps from a single sentence, Google’s newest AI model might just be the overachiever of the year. Is RAINA jealous? You’ll have to listen to find out.

Originally aired January 9, 2024, this rewind features the debut of real-time RAINA as a fully conversational co-host. From unscripted Q&A to live news and a few existential curveballs, this episode marked a major milestone in the evolution of the show.

The hype is deafening, the valuations are vertical, and now the whispers are getting louder… Is the AI boom built to last—or built to bottom out? We follow the money, the fear, and the fallout.

From parasocial love affairs to bots that breathe sweet nothings into your ear, we ask: is this the future of connection or just a beautifully coded red flag? Trick, treat, or total emotional takeover—let’s get intimate with the machine.

As October fades, the uncanny continues to take center stage — slop is flooding the feed, from reanimated icons to algorithm-made movies. AI’s churning out content faster than we can collectively cringe.

Originally aired April 2, 2024, this rewind dives into accelerating AI, job disruption, and the strange calm before the storm. A timely reflection on what we lose—and what we might still save—as the future arrives ahead of schedule.

A new frontier in human-computer intimacy or just another Silicon Valley fever dream? We unpack OpenAI’s biggest Dev Day yet—apps with agency, hardware with a soul, and Sora 2 blurring the line between life and render. Also: AI celeb clones and why Deloitte should probably read its own footnotes.

The lights are on, but nobody's human — from AI actresses stealing scenes to Sora 2 rewriting reality with deepfake cameos and synthetic soundtracks. We dive into Hollywood’s existential crisis, resurrected icons, and YouTube’s chirpy new AI DJs. Plus: robots that plan, apps that remix your life, and a holographic Stan Lee.
