The Dutch courts finally did something useful: they told Meta to quit force-feeding algorithmic slop to everyone, so Facebook and Instagram users might actually see posts from friends again—if they can remember who those are. Meanwhile, OpenAI's Sora 2 rollout is the kind of chaos that makes you wonder if the company replaced QA with a TikTok filter, as outrage videos flood the internet faster than you can say “deepfake meltdown.” Apple banned ICEBlock for being too effective while ICE now wants its own social media surveillance tool—one that OpenAI shut down when Chinese accounts tried to build it. California's hammering Tesla for its abysmal insurance claims handling, OpenAI is gobbling up chunks of AMD, and consultants got caught using ChatGPT to fake reports before proudly partnering with Anthropic, who just landed Deloitte as its latest “enterprise AI” victim. Elsewhere in this circus: a Florida teen asked ChatGPT how to kill his friend, Taylor Swift fans are furious her new promo video used AI slop (“too rich to be this cheap”), and Apple's “Find My” led cops to a mountain of smuggled iPhones.In Media Candy, Brian's stunned The Diplomat scored a third season, The Long Walk is being pitched as Stand By Me meets Squid Game, California finally bans loud streaming commercials, and Amazon censored Bond posters to remove guns because apparently irony is dead. AI “musicians” are signing record deals while Zelda Williams begs people to stop resurrecting her dad with deepfake garbage. In Apps & Doodads, Jony Ive's OpenAI gadget is delayed (good), Rivian insists we'll “appreciate” not having CarPlay (we won't), Spotify and ChatGPT are teaming up to read your soul through playlists, and Jason warns everyone that the Echo Show is basically an ad-spewing parasite. Apple's now facing a cybercrime probe in France for Siri's wiretapping habits, and if you're nostalgic for simpler times, ioquake3 will let you relive Quake III Arena glory on a modern rig. At the Library, Peter Cawdron's Dark Beauty: First Contact belly-flops as a Slaughterhouse-Five tribute, while Cory Doctorow's Enshittification nails exactly why everything sucks—even if his fixes are pure science fiction.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - clnmy.com/GrumpyOldGeeks - Use code OLDGEEKS for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

This week, we discuss the standout moments from our field trip to OpenAI's third annual DevDay — including a bizarre chat between Jony Ive and Sam Altman, and the announcement that OpenAI is putting apps into ChatGPT. Then, we try to make sense of the massive computing deal between OpenAI and AMD, and how it could impact the larger economy. And finally, Katie Notopoulos, a Business Insider reporter, joins us to discuss the growing backlash to A.I. slop and why she refuses to stop making deranged videos of us on Sora.Guests:Katie Notopoulos, senior correspondent at Business Insider covering technology and culture.Additional Reading:OpenAI's Platform PlayOpenAI Agrees to Use Computer Chips From AMDI'm Addicted to Sora 2!OpenAI's New Video App Is Jaw-Dropping (for Better and Worse)We want to hear from you.

Say this for OpenAI: it's very good at raising money, and it's very good at getting attention. David and Jake are joined by The Verge's Hayden Field to talk about OpenAI's demo day, the company's app store plans, why it's trying to build every possible ChatGPT feature all at the same time, and more. After that, the hosts talk about the ongoing popularity of the Sora app, and whether OpenAI has truly built a new kind of social network. Then Hayden has to leave, so David and Jake take on the lightning round to discuss Intel chips, Alex Cooper's Google deal, Starry internet, and more.

Pedro Aznar (https://www.instagram.com/pedroaznar/) y Guille Lomener (https://x.com/gglomener) analizan una semana repleta de movimientos en el universo Apple y su entorno. Esta semana, sobre el iPhone 17 y el debate en torno a los modelos “Pro”, el papel del nuevo iPhone Air y su impacto en el mercado, y las crecientes especulaciones sobre John Ternus como posible sucesor de Tim Cook. También las últimas noticias sobre el futuro del Vision Pro, las filtraciones del próximo MacBook Pro, y el posible evento de octubre en el que Apple podría presentar nuevos iPad y Mac. Además, analizan la pista que apunta a la llegada del Vision Pro a España, el fenómeno viral de TikTok sobre el iPhone 17 Pro Max, lo de Johny Ive y OpenAI que no acaba de cuajar y el inminente (crucemos los dedos) acuerdo de Apple con la Unión Europea. El audio de Pedro en este podcast ha sido capturado con Apple Vision Pro sin utilizar ningún hardware ni micro adicional.

⚖️ Responsabilité de l'IA : contentieux et débats juridiques
Dat ABN Amro een overnameprooi was, daar werd al langer over geroddeld. Maar het blijken de Belgen die er wel interesse in hebben. De Belgische concurrent KBC overweegt volgens Bloomberg een overname. Er is nog wel één discussiepunt binnen de Belgische bank: hoeveel hebben we ervoor over? Het onderzoek daarnaar zou nog in een vroeg stadium zijn, maar beleggers sorteren er wel alvast op voor. Of we er serieus rekening mee moeten houden dat ABN Amro binnenkort van onze AEX vertrekt, dat hoor je deze aflevering. Diezelfde AEX is sinds vandaag trouwens een stukje groter. Er zitten nu 30 bedrijven in, in plaats van 25. Al wordt er op die eerste dag van de uitbreiding alweer gespeculeerd hoe lang de zaken zo blijven, want op de aandelen Just Eat Takeaway en JDE Peet's staat alweer een 'verkocht'-bord. Wij speculeren lekker mee wie er dan vervolgens weer een plekje in de hoofdindex verdienen. En we vertellen je ook nog waarom Warren Buffet uit de Chinese autobouwer BYD stapt én wat hij eraan verdiend heeft. We onderzoeken hoe ver de bodem reikt voor bodemonderzoeker Fugro. En je hoort waarom een bedrijf dat nog helemaal niks verkoopt, toch ruim 60 procent hoger staat op de Nasdaq vandaag. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
OpenAI ontwikkelt in samenwerking met iPhone-ontwerper Jony Ive eigen hardware, maar wat moeten we daar nu precies van verwachten? Volgens onderzoekssite The Information moeten we rekening houden met slimme speaker, al zouden ook een stemrecorder, draagbare pin en zelfs slimme bril worden overwogen. Joe van Burik vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Verder in deze Tech Update: Er lijkt schot te zitten in Trumps veelbesproken deal om TikTok uit China naar de VS te halen, al is die nog steeds niet rond - wel is gemeld dat van de zeven bestuurszetel één naar het huidige Chinese moederbedrijf ByteDance gaat Oracle lijkt dichtbij een deal met Meta ter waarde van twintig miljard dollar See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The AI Breakdown: Daily Artificial Intelligence News and Discussions
Sam Altman just had dinner with journalists and spilled details about OpenAI's biggest challenges and future plans. He admitted GPT-5's launch was botched, revealed the company is profitable on inference (minus training costs), and confirmed they're sitting on better models they can't release because of GPU shortages. Altman also discussed OpenAI's plans to spend trillions on data centers, potential IPO timing, upcoming consumer apps including a possible social platform, and that secretive device project with Jony Ive that he promises will create a new computing paradigm. This episode covers all 20+ topics from the conversation that most tech reporters glossed over.Brought to you by:KPMG – Discover how AI is transforming possibility into reality.

A massive repository of information about OpenAI and Altman just dropped, our take on the man who tried to marry his AI assistant, your calls, and a lot more.
Bob Baxley is a design leader who has shaped products used by billions at Apple, Pinterest, Yahoo, and ThoughtSpot. During his eight years at Apple, he led design for the online store and the App Store, and witnessed the iPhone's transformative launch while working under Steve Jobs. A student of history turned software craftsman, Bob discovered his calling after exploring photography, filmmaking, and music, ultimately recognizing software as the most powerful creative medium of our time. Bob champions the moral obligation designers have to reduce frustration in people's daily digital interactions.What you'll learn:• Why design should report to engineering, not product• The “Beatles principle”—why the best products come from teams of 4 to 6, not 40 to 60• How to create design tenets vs. principles (with real examples)• The counterintuitive reason to delay drawing or prototyping as long as possible• Why software is fundamentally a medium, like film or music (not just a tool)• Why Bob “bounced off the culture” at Pinterest, and lessons from failure• The lunar landing story that teaches us about championing radical ideas• How to evaluate if a company truly values design before joining• The moral obligation of software makers to build great products—This entire episode is

Developer conference season is almost over, but we've got one show left to see: Apple's WWDC begins on Monday. Nilay, David, and Joanna Stern spend time going through both what they expect to see at the show, and why this year's WWDC might feel a bit different than in years past. Apple is in a tricky place with regulators, developers, and users alike, and has some genuine explaining to do. After that, they talk about the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, and David's surprisingly easy adventure to acquire one. We also have a bit of smart glasses and AI gadgets news to discuss, so we do that too. Then it's time for Brendan Carr is a Dummy, and an update on a couple of the interesting new fediverse projects launching this week.

In what's become a bit of a Decoder tradition, I spoke with Google CEO Sundar Pichai in person after I/O. The conference this year was all about AI, particularly a slew of actual AI products, not just models and capabilities. To Sundar, this marks the beginning of a new era for search and the web overall. So I had to ask: what happens to the web when AI tools and eventually agents do most of the browsing for us? It was a very Decoder conversation. Read the full transcript here.

This week, we kick things off with the return of Space Karen's meltdown tour: Elon Musk got flustered in an interview, sputtered out one-word answers, and called the journalist an “NPC,” which is rich coming from the guy whose only real upgrade since PayPal is yelling “freedom” in meme fonts. Meanwhile, 23andMe sold your DNA to Regeneron at a bankruptcy auction, proving once and for all that your spit is more valuable than most tech startups.IN THE NEWS is a parade of corporate idiocy and dystopian fuckery. Coinbase employees got bribed into leaking user data (because clearly we didn't have enough crypto chaos), Klarna keeps flip-flopping between AI and human workers like it's a bad Tinder date, and OpenAI is out here buying Jony Ive's design firm for $6.5 billion because sure, what's another billion when you're trying to build a surveillance device to stalk 100 million users? Meanwhile, the Chicago Sun-Times is publishing AI-generated trash with imaginary authors, Anthropic's new model attempts blackmail, and researchers dumped two billion Discord messages online just for kicks. And yes, Elon's Tesla robotaxis will now only roam the safest parts of Austin, which is code for “we still can't make this thing turn left.”In MEDIA CANDY, we're watching Murderbot, Godfather of Harlem, and Hotel Cocaine because who doesn't love a little synthetic assassin, crime drama, and coke-fueled nostalgia? Notepad.exe now writes for you (and probably files HR complaints too), and Audible is teaming up with publishers to replace narrators with robot voices. Yay, progress. Over in THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, Bittner brings the malware, monsters, and a new theme park review that's somehow less terrifying than the news. Bookworms, don't miss Curepedia and The AI Con — one's about goth gods, the other's about taking down our techno-overlords. And pour one out for George Wendt — Norm from Cheers is now drinking with the angels.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Head over to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use the code "GOG" for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Bad news if you don't care about AI: this week was absolutely chock-full of AI news. First, Nilay, David, and The Verge's Alex Heath talk about the news that OpenAI and Jony Ive are teaming up to build... something. A gadget, for sure, maybe lots of gadgets. We don't know much, but we have a lot of thoughts, and a lot of questions. After that, the hosts talk through all the news at Google I/O, including what's new with Gemini, Google Search, Project Astra, Project Mariner, and the countless other ways Google is putting AI absolutely everywhere. Finally, in the lightning round, we buckle up for another round of Brendan Carr is a Dummy, talk through some late-breaking Apple gadget news, and marvel over the future of conference calls.
