    going to predict the number of times "AI" appears in this podcast: 34
  • @MarsOtter
    david’s “daaaammmnnn” in the intro needs to be on the soundboard
  • @Wade2003
    The natural human response for How tall the Empire state building is? Should be, "Uhh.... I don't know bro, why don't you google it.".
  • @melissa.deklerk
    Gmail's search function is ABSOLUTELY Google's worst search function. 100% correct, Andrew. Thank you for saying that.
  • @gundmc13
    The idea of the "Where did I leave my glasses" was not to suggest that you would actually ask the AI assistant where you left things as a use case - it was a flex to show the assistant could recall a detail that wasn't explicitly discussed from a previous image a minute ago that wasn't directly in its current field of view. It's another example of a huge context window and how it's helpful. A 2 million token context window isn't just for writing a really long prompt. It means everything in that 2 million tokens can be retrieved with perfect recall, whether that's a super long conversation dialogue, or if it's a 2 hour video file. Honestly I think people are sleeping on how huge of a deal that can be and Google isn't doing a good job of telling people why they should care about a context window.
  • As a blind person, having these models have vision is super important and could be really, really helpful. It already is. Just look up. Be my eyes...... I can't wait until it can help real time with visual things. And actually be right about things. LOL

    Marques tapping the mic to trigger the lights was low-key the funniest moment of the episode.
  • @rosetheblackcat
    I appreciate the longer episodes of the pod. This is what podcasts are for! Getting into the nitty gritty of the products and chopping it up, letting your personalities show.
  • @MrKevinPitt
    Love this show listen/watch every week! But sometimes I think they are so immersed in the field of tech they kinda miss the wonder of some of these innovations. I watched the OpenAI event and was absolutely blown away. Yes it was silly at times and the use case demos were a bit contrived but where we are in contrast to where we were 15 years ago just absolutely amazes me. Wish the fellas took a step back sometimes and just appreciated that for a nanosecond. Love yea! We truly live in a age of wonders ;-)
  • @jonathanvu769
    David is really writing off the extended context window 😂 this is a huge step toward the potential for a personal assistant who can know everything about you. It’s also a big divergence from OpenAI, as Google is moving toward an infinite context window whereas OpenAI seems to be maximizing vector stores and RAG. A specific use case for my industry - the eventual possibility of having individualized GPTs trained on patient data, meaning that physicians can have a model that is queryable via natural language that can give clinical summaries of a patient history. I agree a lot of new AI features are overhyped but I don’t think we should write off the underlying advancements in these models - very exciting stuff on the horizon!
  • @fooey88
    Crazy that Google no longer has pages. They changed the search results to endless scrolling.
  • @azaelandy04
    Maybe I’m out of the loop but GPT4o is the most impressive tech I’ve seen in a while.
  • @menithings
    The new iPad Pro is thinner (really lighter) so its center of gravity can be lower when docked to the Magic Keyboard. This weight shift means that the iPad can be suspended further back on the keyboard (check out the hinge's new 90 degree angle), and therefore free up more space on the case for a larger trackpad and a function key row. The Magic Keyboard is an almost ubiquitous accessory for the Pro, so the iPads lighter weight now resolves the Magic Keyboard's two major flaws - making it a more attractive upsell.

    I definitely agree with Marques' take on the very simple example that OpenAI used to showcase their new model. I can say that the moment I saw their demo of how GPT4o can read math problems on a piece of paper, and especially their YouTube video showing how it can even understand things like geometrical objects on a screen, I immediately thought "Oh! Maybe it can help me with my work!". And sure enough, I tested it and I can say that it's very, very good (much better than before) as an assistant helping you figuring out what kind of statistical analysis you can run on a dataset, guiding you through all steps of the process from testing assumptions, to suggesting alternative steps such as transformations or different type of analyses, to checking graphs of residuals distribution and so on. Up until the very end of the process. It can even guide you on how to perform each step on a specific software (as long as it's popular enough, for example SPSS). It really is great! I cannot wait for their desktop app to be released for Windows, because it would make the experience even smoother!

    They didn't "had" to interrupt 4o... They did interrupt a lot because that's a new feature
  • @BecauseBinge
    There are papers out on LLM's having internal monologue. Giving AI ability to think before it speaks. It literally revises what it is about to say before it says it.
  • @josephhodge5387
    Just wanted to say from a person who is blind the visual aspects of what Open AI is doing is pretty exciting for me. I know that you guys would’ve gloss over the facial expression thing, but imagine going through life not being able to see peoples facial expressions. There’s a lot of things that I miss not having Nonverbal communication. For example, most times conversations are started up by talking with your eyes.

    The unintended references to Her with the AI and ghostwriters convo is hilarious.
