Ben Brady, CEO of Harcourts Auctions, is joined by long-time friend and returning guest Tony “Tech Tony” Self, Broker/Owner of Harcourts Hunter Mason Realty — to dissect the rapid rise of AI in 2025, where it's heading, and what's starting to make even the tech optimists a little uneasy.Tony, known for being an early adopter of everything from automation to video avatars, opens up about the first time AI has truly spooked him. The two dive deep into the realities of AI displacement, the threat to white-collar jobs, and what “Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)” might mean for industries like real estate. From autonomous driving to robotics, they break down the economic and ethical implications of a future where machines don't just assist — they think, act, and compete.But it's not all doom and gloom. Ben and Tony also explore how entrepreneurs can stay ahead of the curve, leverage AI tools like HeyGen and 11Labs for content creation, and prepare for the industries being reshaped by automation. Expect bold predictions, uncomfortable truths, and practical insights for agents, leaders, and business owners trying to navigate the AI-driven decade ahead.Timestamps & Key Topics[00:00:00] – How AI started 2025 and where it stands now[00:02:00] – Why Tech Tony is finally nervous about AI[00:03:45] – Job displacement and the automation wave[00:06:30] – From robots to real estate: AI's reach expands[00:08:00] – The rise of generative video tools (HeyGen, Sora, 11Labs)[00:10:45] – Governments vs. progress: who wins the automation race?[00:12:00] – How content creation is changing forever[00:14:30] – What is AGI and when will we see it?[00:18:00] – The illusion of authenticity in social media[00:22:00] – Algorithmic manipulation, misinformation, and bias[00:25:00] – Predictions for 2026: what jobs and skills survive?[00:27:00] – AI reliance, creativity, and the human edge

Bruno et Jérôme reviennent sur une série d'actualités tech marquantes, avec une bonne dose de taquineries autour du iPhone Air, un appareil promis à une carrière écourtée. Quelques mots sur le nouveau OnePlus 15, salué pour son autonomie impressionnante, sa fluidité et son rapport qualité-prix. Le duo s'amuse ensuite de l'« iPhone Pocket », un accessoire Apple décrit comme une chaussette design vendue à prix fort pour les fêtes. Puis, la démission de Yann LeCun de Meta retient toute leur attention. Le segment se poursuit avec une discussion sur GPT-5.1 et sur les coûts astronomiques de Sora 2.0. Enfin, ils commentent la vidéo très commentée du robot humanoïde russe AIDol, avant d'ouvrir sur les avancées européennes en robotique et l'annonce d'un premier microprocesseur souverain conçu en France.

On revient sur le départ annoncé de Yann LeCun, patron de la recherche en IA chez, GPT-5.1, la chute du robot russe AIdol, la chaussette connectée d'Apple : l'actu techno vue depuis Paris et Montréal.Avec Bruno Guglielminetti (Mon Carnet)Yann LeCun claque la porte de MetaLe cofondateur de l'IA moderne quitte Meta après douze ans. Une rupture révélée par le Financial Times qui traduit un désaccord de fond avec Mark Zuckerberg. L'arrivée d'une nouvelle direction plus business-oriented, incarnée par Alexandr Wang (Scale AI), aurait précipité son départ. Yann LeCun pourrait lancer sa propre start-up — une bonne nouvelle pour une IA plus éthique et utile.GPT-5.1 : plus personnalisé, plus utile ?OpenAI corrige le tir après le flop de GPT-5. La version 5.1 promet une IA plus « friendly », avec des vitesses de réponse réglables (Auto, Instant, Thinking) et des interactions plus naturelles. Mais la vraie question reste : à quel prix ? Selon Forbes, faire tourner Sora, le générateur vidéo d'OpenAI, coûterait 15 millions de dollars par jour.Russie : le bide robotiqueLe robot humanoïde russe AIdol s'effondre en direct lors de sa présentation officielle. Une séquence surréaliste qui contraste avec les approches plus prudentes d'acteurs comme Wandercraft (France) ou 1X Technologies (Norvège). Ces entreprises misent sur l'intégration industrielle et l'assistance au quotidien plutôt que sur l'effet d'annonce.Côté smartphone : OnePlus 15, iPhone PocketBruno teste le OnePlus 15 : design soigné, autonomie de deux jours, processeur Qualcomm dernière génération… un excellent rapport qualité/prix.

Drew and Rory start with eyeball horror, Stranger Things hype, and the idea of AI-powered contact lenses before stumbling straight into the real mind-melt: Midjourney, Grok Imagine, Mystic 3, and Flux all colliding in one episode. They roast their own prompts, trigger an accidental NSF-DoubleU moment live inside Grok, argue about “flux face,” and still somehow manage to pull out real, practical tips for people trying to make better AI images without losing their minds.Across an hour of chaos, they unpack Midjourney v8's subtle shifts, hidden personalization signals, Style Explorer tricks, Smart Search shortcuts, Grok's Sora-style infinite feed, Mystic 3's scary-good skin detail, and why Midjourney still owns lo-fi, lived-in, “shot-on-a-phone” energy. If you care about composition, cinematic ratios, editorial portraits, food realism, or just want to hear two people dunk on Flux and node editors while actually teaching you something, this one hits.Listeners will come away knowing how to use stills archive for composition, when to skip upscales for more analog realism, how Grok Imagine's image + video workflow really behaves, and where Mystic 3 can replace Midjourney in a serious portrait or product stack.--⏱️ Midjourney Fast Hour0:00 Intro, eyeballs, and a Friday brain check2:05 Contact lens horror stories, Mission Impossible, Black Mirror eyes3:07 Stranger Things Season 5 hype and binge vs weekly TV4:51 Movies, biopics, sports docs, and couch season setting in6:23 Cowboys documentary, sports pipelines, and TV as passive story feed7:00 AI overload, nobody keeping up, and why this pod exists8:30 Midjourney profiles, Style Creator, and new personalization talk9:29 Like/dislike buttons as hidden training data and 7:3 aspect ratio love10:35 Stills Archive, cinematic framing, and cleaner compositions12:00 Style Explorer vs old-school SREF and what quietly vanished13:16 Three under-the-radar Midjourney Smart Search + right-click + Option-upscale tweaks15:35 V8, fewer wall-of-text prompts, and a move toward visual controls18:12 First look at Grok Imagine's interface and infinite scroll feel19:35 Sora-style endless bottom feed, variants, and “make video” in Grok22:51 Cinematic looks, color grading, and Grok as “idea and curate” engine24:19 Live NSFW surprise inside Grok Imagine and instant rating change25:23 Finding Grok history, stills, and video exports with sound26:31 Who actually gets Grok video and Drew's first real reaction to using it27:38 Mystic 3 enters the chat and upscaling less for analog vibes29:02 Why “too sharp” screams AI and how grain + smart detail saves realism30:18 Outpainting, editing, and why Midjourney still wins surgical compositing35:01 Mystic 3 V3 screen-share and first impressions35:45 Editorial portraits, skin detail, eyelashes, and hands that finally look human37:26 Mystic 3 model comparisons: Zen, State-of-the-Art, and weird description blur39:16 Zooming all the way into pores, fingerprints, and micro skin texture43:44 Cocktail and food prompts where Mystic falls behind Midjourney50:05 Nano Banana 2 rumors, native 4K wishes, and how Midjourney might respond50:58 Why Midjourney still rules lo-fi, disposable camera, and Polaroid-style shots52:16 Grok Imagine vs Flux vs Midjourney for lived-in Y2K flash photos53:39 Flux face, direct flash tests, and “go flux yourself” is born55:30 Nodes, Grok workflows, and why scrolling is faster than wiring graphs56:01 Why Midjourney is avoiding node-based interfaces on purpose57:05 Final sendoff: go flux yourself and get out of here

Umelá inteligencia sa vyvíja tak rýchlo, že obrázkové a video podvody sú takmer uveriteľné. Ako sa brániť voči podvodom a ako rozpoznať falošné video od skutočného? Stretli ste sa s tipmi na investovanie od slovenského prezidenta? Je tu nová verzia, ktorá vyzerá oveľa lepšie ako verzia použitá pred rokom. Nové video šíriace sa na sociálnych sieťach opäť láka na falošné investovanie a vkladá prezidentovi do úst niečo, čo nikdy nepovedal. Zmenila sa dnešná doba oproti tej spred 20 rokmi? Sú podvody niečím odlišné, alebo je podstata podobná iba s využitím iných technológií. Ak sa v minulosti hovorilo o tom, že nie všetko čo je na internete je pravda, teraz to platí viacnásobne. Neverte všetkému, čo vidíte a viackrát dôverujte. Sociálne siete sú plné falošných videí vytvorené cez nástroje Sora a Veo, ktoré sú akoby vystrihnuté z bežného života. Naše skúsenosti zahŕňajú mačičky, ktoré ochránia malé dieťa pred medveďom. Vaše sociálne siete majú od vás naučený iný algoritmus a zrejme vám servírujú odlišný typ uveriteľne vyzerajúcich videí. Ako z toho celého von a na čo všetko si dať pozor? V najnovšom diely nášho AI videocastu nájdete odpovede. Viac o umelej inteligencii píšeme aj na našom webe www.touchit.sk.

David Waldman drops us off on Friday, usually the calm center of Trump's chaos typhoon...  It's Trump's "grand conspiracy", all right, although it depends on how you define "grand". Nevada's top court revives the state's fake electors case, anyone looking into anything Bill "Slimebag" Pulte does are sacked, while Eric Swalwell gets Pulte-ed and FBI Mis-Informant Alexander Smirnov slips out the back door. Ghislaine Maxwell gets the Perv-a-Lago 6 Star Diamond Deluxe Grande treatment, plus a puppy. Donald K. Trump vows to prosecute and imprison every single person connected to Jeffrey Epstein... give or take. MAGA accepts only two genders, yet sees pedophilia as an infinite spectrum, with Jeffrey and Matt Gaetz way over on the nicest possible end.  AI-Generated ICE porn might actually be the worst porn one could make with Sora. Kai Trump proves that she's every bit the golfer grandpa is at the LPGA Tour's Annika tournament. She just doesn't have his caddy, though. Kristi Noem stars in an ad campaign with an "Avengers" budget…  Or... is she just playing hide the salami with taxpayer money?

Nu și-a cerut nimeni scuze la nivel înalt: nici premierul, nici ministrul de interne, remarcă Oana Sandu, jurnalistă care a documentat fenomenul violenței domestice. Avem 51 de cazuri de femicid anul acesta și o neputință  a forțelor de ordine de a interveni și a prinde criminalii. Femicididul este un fenomen pe care nu și-l asumă nimeni, spune jurnalista. Ce ar trebui să facă statul pentru orfanii speciali, co-victime în acest cazuri? Ce fac alte state pentru ei? Oana Sandu: "Pare că în punctul în care ne aflăm avem acest sistem de profesioniști care nu cred în acest risc, din păcate, și nu cred că violența domestică este ceva ce îi privește și pe ei. Cred că în continuare sunt părți ale societății noastre -și mai periculos este că sunt și profesioniști cu putere de decizie - care cred că violența domestică este o problemă privată și nu una publică.  E vorba de recunoaștere, de reparații și de o formă de dreptate. Până la urmă, dreptatea din partea societății, care contează mult mai mult pentru cei care au rămas și care poate să îi ajute pe toată durata vieții lor, înseamnă mai mult uneori decât anii pe care îi primește un criminal, decât o sentință grea.  Sigur că ne dorim și asta, dar nu asta ne ajută să ne trăim viețile pe mai departe, fiindcă acele persoane pe care le-am pierdut nu se vor mai întoarce niciodată înapoi.  Supraviețuitorii au nevoie de o recunoaștere din partea statului. Nimeni nu și-a cerut scuze pentru femeile care și-au pierdut viața în acest an în România. La un nivel mai mare mă refer. Deci e nevoie de o astfel de recunoaștere majoră.  Noi, ca cetățeni, putem să cerem până la urmă ca statul să facă anumite lucruri.  Dar, de exemplu, copiii despre care eu am scris nu beneficiază de niciun fel de serviciu adaptat, au primit doar acea monitorizare care se face în orice alt caz unde există o problemă socială, un telefon pe care uneori asistentul social îl dă o dată la trei luni și o întreabă pe bunica de peste 60 de ani care îngrijește doi copii de școală primară: cum o mai duce? Cam asta este tot. Nu există o consiliere terapeutică, consiliere psihologică.  Nu există o navigare socială. Mai amintesc aici de o tânără care, la vremea la care i-a fost ucisă mama de partenerul mamei avea 18 ani. Sora ei avea 13 ani. A intervenit de câteva ori în incidente violente de dinainte de crimă. A sunat la 112. Niște polițiști i-au spus ultima oară că ei nu se mai duc pentru că asta e, o să ne ducem când va fi moartă mama ta... Și această fată și sora ei au trăit trei luni, până acest criminal a fost arestat, în același oraș cu acest individ, pentru că fusese sub control judiciar, deci nu fusese reținut. Cam ăsta este nivelul de înțelegere a ce ar trebui noi să oferim supraviețuitorilor unor crime. Rep: Și dacă ar fi să tragem niște concluzii. Spuneați că nimeni nu și-a cerut scuze la nivel înalt, pornind de la ultimul caz. Într-adevăr, ce am văzut diferit a fost că s-a intrat așa, un pic în vrie și de la București s-au trimis anchetatori să se vadă ce s-a întâmplat acolo, că erau două ordine de restricție. E un prim pas?  Oana Sandu: Eu cred că e un pas foarte, foarte, foarte mic și cred că e doar un act de imagine. Nu văd o concretețe, nu văd o importanță. Un prim pas ar fi ca premierul și ministrul de Interne să facă o conferință de presă și să explice ce s-a întâmplat în aceste cazuri mai mediatizate, unde au existat și ordine de protecție, unde au existat și un mandat de căutare a acelui om care a ucis. Să ne spună unde este acel bărbat și să ne spună care este planul. Pentru că eu înțeleg din câteva comunicate răzlețe că există un plan în poliție, că ei totuși fac ceva. Dar care este acel plan? Adică dacă tu dai niște comunicate sau vorbești cu doi-trei jurnaliști, asta nu înseamnă o informare la nivel național.  Până la urmă, în vară, când am avut acea crimă din Cosmopolis, care la fel a fost în plină stradă, am crezut că lucrurile se vor schimba, dar eu nu văd o acțiune puternică din partea statului. Noi contabilizăm, noi arătăm mai mult poate decât în alți ani, iar asta înseamnă că și alți agresori care acum sunt agresori sunt încă criminali prin mai multă putere, pentru că observă că, iată, cineva nu e prins după atâtea luni. Sau dacă a a făcut-o altcineva, de ce n-aș face-o și eu pân la urmă? Și atât timp cât nu ai pe cineva puternic, un premier, un ministru de interne care să arate cu adevărat toleranță zero față de acest fenomen, nu din cuvinte, că s-au mai folosit cuvintele astea: avem toleranță zero față de violența împotriva femeilor. Nu e real, nu avem toleranță zero. Și iată, ne-a arătat incidentul la finele săptămânii trecute. Ce am mai putea face este ca atunci când se organizează proteste să mergem. E nevoie ca și noi să fim mai mult în stradă. Fiecare dintre noi și să ne gândim că chiar și cu unul în plus, am putea să ajutăm. Din păcate, având în vedere că nu există schimbări din partea statului, cumva asta ne face și pe noi mai neputincioși și cu mai puțină implicare civică.... Nu știu unde ne îndreptăm, dar lucrurile nu arată deloc bine. 

Lanseringen av Sora 2 och vår ökade användning av AI lämnar avtryck på klimatet. Men vad innebär det när man pratar om AI:s klimatavtryck? Den här veckan kollar vi närmare på AI-klippens klimatutsläpp och om nöjet är värt priset vi betalar. Vi vänder också på myntet: på vilka sätt kan AI bli klimatets räddare och hur kan man använda AI på ett klimatsmart sätt? Med techstrategen Paulina Modlitba och Frida Berry Eklund, medgrundare till Klimatkollen.

Coca-Cola's new AI-generated holiday ad has sparked both praise and controversy.

How does something as simple as a five-star rating system reveal subtle biases?When she's not teaching MBA and undergraduate students at Rice Business, Professor Sora Jun studies the hidden forces that shape how we see and treat one another. Her work explores how our minds process inequality and how even small design choices, like switching from stars to thumbs-up icons, can make systems fairer. Host Brian Jackson '21 sits down with Sora to discuss her research on the hidden bias of gig worker ratings, what she loves most about teaching at Rice, the findings of her latest paper and how her background has shaped her work. Episode Guide:00:00 Introduction to Sora Jun, Ph.D.00:58 Journey From Finance To Organizational Behavior02:20 Impact of Diverse Upbringing on Research05:05 Teaching Experience and Philosophy08:52 Research on Bias and Inequality17:50 Framing Inequality: Advantage vs. Disadvantage24:34 Exploring Anti-Asian Discrimination29:17 Future Research Directions30:56 Teaching Across Different Programs32:20 Final Thoughts and TakeawaysThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:How embracing insecurity helped Dr. Sora on her research23:32: It actually took me a while to really feel like I had enough legitimacy in standing and studying this in some ways, because I felt like I did not really have the real, like, Asian American experience, given that I have been in so many different circles and I'm hearing so many different stories about what it means to be Asian for different people. But I think really embracing that insecurity almost was useful because I think it just made me dig in deeper and realize that might be part of that Asian experience—feeling like there are so many different kinds of Asian experiences. I'm sure this is similar for other groups as well, but I think I've just become more appreciative of just asking people, like, what's this been like for you? I started to do more qualitative-oriented work because of this, and I think that is helping me sort of reaffirm my own, I guess, standing and studying this topic.Why the way we talk about inequality matters14:52 [Brian Jackson]: Why does framing matter so much when talking about pay gaps or wealth disparities?16:08 [Sora Jun]: So, framing of inequality matters because even though what is being talked about is logically equivalent for an advantage or disadvantage frame, people understand it to be very different. And then they focus on different, I guess, objects.On balancing the fairness of the gains of a binary system with the loss of nuance13:36 [Sora Jun]: I think that's a really tricky part. I do think it is a challenge if we were to imagine changing all these numerical rating scales to dichotomy scales. We would lose a lot of the fine-grained information. So it probably depends a lot on the context. I think from our study, what we were finding was that the ratings using a five-point scale were already quite inflated, so there was not actually a ton of fine-grained information to be had from even the five-point scale information.Show Links: TranscriptGuest Profile:Sora Jun | Rice Business

Épisode 1389 : Youpi, c'est mercredi et on vous a compilé un joli récap des dernières nouveautés social media.Meta lance Vibes : des vidéos IA pour remplir le videMeta poursuit sa course à l'intelligence artificielle. Après les États-Unis, le groupe déploie en France sa nouvelle fonctionnalité baptisée Vibes. Objectif : proposer un flux de vidéos courtes générées par IA, à partir de simples descriptions textuelles.Qualitativement c'est plutôt cool. On est pas sur du Sora 2 mais vraiment c'est suffisant pour faire son petit effet. La durée des vidéos générés par conter est extrêmement courte (5 sec).https://www.meta.ai/@hoodville/post/MH3O7rxhIKK?song_id=259335715008035&utm_source=ios_cl—Créateurs vs IA : fascination et inquiétudesL'intelligence artificielle est en train de transformer en profondeur a peu près toutes les industries liées de près ou de loin à la communication et au marketing. Et la Creator Economy n'y écharpera pas. Malgré quelques postures et pudeur de gazelle, les créateurs de contenu comme les professionnels du marketing s'emparent eux aussi de l'IA… mais pas sans réserve. Une étude menée par Stellar Tech sur 5 marchés européens vient mettre des chiffres sur cette mutation.Une étude sur 1000 créateurs de contenu en France, Espagne, Allemagne, Italie.De la nouveauté sur EditTu te souviens de l'application Edits, le capcut à la sauce meta ?La promesse lors de l'annonce était de simplifier et renforcer la création de vidéos verticales pour Instagram . En vrai on l'a attendu avec impatience et au bout du compte on était plutôt déçus. Trop peu d'options, assez rigide et pas beaucoup de place pour l'inspiration.Et bien pour les curieux et les amateurs de montages simples; une mise à jour toute récente a fait évoluer quelques aspects sympa.WhatsApp pourrait bientôt permettre d'échanger avec des utilisateurs d'autres messageries » Si je te parle d'interoperabilité, ca te fait penser à quoi?Et bien aujourd'hui je vais te parler de superoperabilitè.WhatsApp prévoit une nouvelle fonctionnalité pour les utilisateurs européens : la possibilité de communiquer avec des utilisateurs d'autres applications de messagerie. Cette option en test se nomme « Third‑party chat requests » et apparaît dans sa dernière version bêta.En l'activant un utilisateur WhatsApp pourra envoyer et recevoir des messages, photos, vidéos, messages vocaux et fichiers depuis/vers d'autres services compatibles. Une seule application est actuellement mentionnée comme partenaire : BirdyChat, mais d'autres – comme Telegram ou Signal – pourraient suivre s'ils se conforment aux exigences techniques de whatsapp.. . .

A CMO Confidential Interview with Andy Sack and Adam Brotman, Co-Founders and Co-CEO's of Forum 3, authors of the book AI First, previously at Microsoft and Starbucks. Adam and Andy discuss the exponential growth of LLM's in the 3 years since the Chat GPT launch, the rapid pace of consumer adoption and "why there's never been a bigger prize in capitalism." Key topics include: why the circular tie-ups between the models and chip providers may make sense, their belief that only 5% of companies are well underway; why you should use AI at least 10 times a day; and how the "current way of doing business" is the biggest blocker to progress. Tune in to hear 2026 predictions, why you should have a "family password," and how an AI Zoom scam resulted in a $20 million loss for the company. AI: The Year That Changed Marketing | Andy Sack & Adam Brotman on CMO ConfidentialFormer Starbucks Chief Digital Officer Adam Brotman and investor/operator Andy Sack return to break down AI's wild 2025—and what's next for marketers and the C-suite in 2026. We cover the rise of reasoning models and agents, chip-and-model tie-ups, who's winning (and who's falling behind), why only ~5% of companies are truly “underway,” and how consumer behavior is racing ahead of most enterprises. Adam and Andy deliver pragmatic guidance for boards, CEOs, and CMOs: where to lean in, how to organize, and what to build now.What you'll learn:• The real story on model advances, agents, and the chip/energy bottlenecks• Why supply-lock deals aren't “circular nonsense” and how they'll shape winners/losers• Enterprise reality check: 5% vs. 95%, and why CEO/board sponsorship determines lift-off• Consumer adoption, zero-click search, and how discovery is shifting under your feet• Marketing beyond efficiency: ideation, synthetic testing, and creative at production speed• 2026 predictions: Apple's big AI move, the year of consumer agents, and new AI devices• Risk & resilience: deepfake fraud, the “family password,” and change management that sticksActionable takeaways:• Use AI 10×/day; turn on voice and select a “thinking/reasoning” model for complex work• Treat AI as a company-wide transformation, not an IT pilot; pick a few high-value use cases and own them from the top• Experiment with agentic workflows and AI video to compress cycle time from storyboard to launchSponsored by @typefaceai Typeface helps the world's biggest brands go from brief to fully personalized, on-brand campaigns in hours—not months.

Auch Europa kann ein Gefühl von Sora kriegen. Allerdings eines von Meta – und in nicht ganz so gut. Aber was ist dieser Tage schon gut? Grok fragt Kinder nach Nacktfotos, OpenAI steht vor Gericht, weil es sich lange offenbar wenig um die geistige Gesundheit seiner Nutzer:innen gekümmert hat und die EU schraubt an unserem Datenschutz. Also: Schöne Dystopie zum Wochenstart. Aber ihr wisst ja, was ihr kriegt. Haha.

In this episode, AI expert Andrew Bell joins us to show step-by-step how to turn a single Amazon product photo into a polished, scroll-stopping video using AI tools like Sora 2, Amazon Ads' AI video generator, and Gemini.

This week, the gang dives headfirst into the weird, wild world of AI video creation — from Sora 2 and Grok to the strange new internet characters they're spawning. Tim shares how he's been using Sora to make surreal videos for Gilbert (and inventing a whole alternate-dimension being named Gob-Loaf along the way), while Dustin and Lizzie trade their own AI stories and Jeff admits he's just waiting until they let you make porn. We also tackle the viral Food Stamp “Toast Lady” video that fooled half of TikTok (spoiler: she's not real — just another AI fever dream). In Views or Snooze, the crew previews the week's big streaming drops: * Death by Lightning (Netflix) — Michael Shannon brings President Garfield back from the dead (metaphorically). * Frankenstein (Netflix) — Guillermo del Toro's gothic vision finally arrives… a week late for Halloween. * Pluribus (Apple TV+) — Vince Gilligan returns with Rhea Seehorn in a mysterious new drama. * Plus: Jeff's culinary Staff Pick — the Whataburger patty melt with a blackberry Dr Pepper milkshake — and Tim's Text Impressions, featuring Sam Elliott reflecting on life with Billy Bob Thornton as his son.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.It has been a news-packed few days for Mr. Beast, and if you are following the highs, the drama, and the ambition, you're in the right place. I just dropped what might be my most personally revealing viral video yet, with YouTube buzzing over me reacting to a time-capsule message I filmed for myself at age 17. Back then, I had only 8,000 subscribers and I wondered if I'd hit one million by 2025 or be, in my words, “a loser.” Fast forward, and as Business Insider and others report, I addressed my younger self and talked about how “YouTube runs in my veins,” crediting sheer stubbornness for powering me through when no one believed the dream. Social media has been on fire, with fans sharing clips and doubling down on praise for sticking with the journey.But the last twenty-four hours have also seen a wave of mainstream headlines around my recent warnings about the future of online creators. As reported by Business Today and echoed by Storyboard18, I've been vocal on X expressing genuine fear about how AI tools like OpenAI's Sora will impact creator livelihoods. I called these “scary times for YouTube,” pointing out that when AI-generated videos are indistinguishable from real ones, the entire industry could be upended almost overnight. This isn't just personal anxiety—it's sparked a broader debate and tons of discussion in the creator economy over where original content goes from here.On the business front, Bloomberg just broke the story that Beast Industries—the empire I've been building—is now laying plans for a full-blown entertainment conglomerate, with no less than a real theme park in the works. The vision? Something to rival Disney. And that's just the start: we're already planning a “cinematic universe” and large-scale entertainment ventures, with me as the face of the brand. In parallel, Fortune and Business Insider report I've filed trademark applications to launch a MrBeast-branded mobile phone service by 2026, aiming for a disruptive Mint Mobile-style offering.Of course, controversy isn't far away. Malay Mail and IBTimes picked up my latest viral stunt where stuntman Eric had to escape from a burning house for a shot at half a million dollars. This video triggered an ethics debate across YouTube and Twitter, with some fans thrilled, but critics raising concerns about pushing the limits of spectacle in the name of entertainment.Meanwhile, philanthropy remains core. I smashed the 40 million dollar fundraising goal with #TeamWater, announced on YouTube and echoed across global media, to bring clean water to two million people. The outpouring of global support and viral celebration on social media has reminded everyone why giving back is still at the heart of everything.Just last week, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that I'll be honored at Operation Smile's New York gala with the Cotto Changemaker Award for my advocacy work, though I'll be joining virtually. It's been a whirlwind of business deals, headline-making stunts, and social commentary, all signaling another transformative period—not only for my brand, but for the creator world at large.Thanks for listening to the latest on Mr. Beast—subscribe now to never miss an update on the world's most-watched YouTuber, and if you want more great Biographies, search the term Biography Flash.And that is it for today.

The DoorDash problem just became Amazon's problem. Perplexity's Comet browser is allegedly stealthily shopping on the internet's largest mall, and the folks in Seattle want it to stop. It's just one example of the fast-moving power dynamics on the internet, as AI companies try to change the way we search, shop, and do everything else. Lots of companies are not going to settle for being dumb databases, and Nilay and David discuss how this fight might play out. After that, the hosts talk about the reports of an impending cheaper Mac with an iPhone chip, and whether that might mark Apple's true return to consumer laptops — or be something else entirely.

The OpenAI Sora 2 team (Bill Peebles, Thomas Dimson, Rohan Sahai) discuss how they compressed filmmaking from months to days, enabling anyone to create compelling video. Bill, who invented the diffusion transformer that powers Sora and most video generation models, explains how space-time tokens enable object permanence and physics understanding in AI-generated video, and why Sora 2 represents a leap for video. Thomas and Rohan share how they're intentionally designing the Sora product against mindless scrolling, optimizing for creative inspiration, and building the infrastructure for IP holders to participate in a new creator economy. The conversation goes beyond video generation into the team's vision for world simulators that could one day run scientific experiments, their perspective on co-evolving society alongside technology, and how digital simulations in alternate realities may become the future of knowledge work.

Harnessing the Power of DesignLoop: Elevating Your Amazon Listing Strategy Episode Overview In this episode, Danny McMillan discusses the pitfalls of relying solely on AI for design automation, emphasizing the importance of human creativity in the design process. He introduces DesignLoop, a tool designed to help sellers generate high-quality images and videos while maintaining a human touch. This episode explores ai in design automation, importance of human creativity in marketing with practical insights for immediate implementation. We've been building DesignLoop, a human-in-the-loop creative studio for images and video. I'll roll it out to the community soon - you just plug in your API keys and pay for what you use. No subscriptions, and here's the bonus: it's actually a lot cheaper than plugging directly into OpenAI and Google.       We have had a few delays, scrapping it three times in the last few weeks and then building it again.       The upside? We've built in a video storyboard Framework with rhythm-based pacing and multi-shot sequences, image recognition with Claude Vision, system logic level prompts tuned to each model, slash commands with a prompt library, and plenty of guardrails reducing expensive sling - shot slop, all while being significantly cheaper per second. Key Takeaways Design cannot be fully automated; human creativity and judgment are crucial in the design process, especially for marketing effectiveness. Having a breadth of quality assets can significantly enhance the design and marketing processes, reducing costs and improving results. Chapter Markers Time Chapter Description 00:01 Introduction to DesignLoop Danny introduces DesignLoop, highlighting its purpose to avoid generic designs often produced by AI, and stresses the need for human expertise in the creative process. 02:17 The Importance of Human Involvement Danny discusses the critical role humans play in design, particularly for creating effective marketing assets that convert customers. 04:27 Critiques of Current Marketing Strategies Danny critiques the common approach of saturating listings with visuals, arguing for more thoughtful design that resonates with customers. 06:32 Why DesignLoop is Free Danny explains his motivation for offering DesignLoop for free, focusing on supporting sellers and enhancing the overall industry. 10:42 Demonstration of Outputs Danny demonstrates the capabilities of DesignLoop, showcasing the assets generated and discussing the process behind creating effective videos. 24:14 Pacing and Dynamics in Video Creation Danny elaborates on the aspects of pacing and dynamics in video production, emphasizing their significance in delivering impactful content. 49:39 Final Thoughts on Automation Danny wraps up by discussing the future of automation in design and the importance of retaining a human element for quality outcomes.

Join Eric, @TimAndrewsHere, @Autopritts, @JaredYamamoto, Greg, and George LIVE on 95.5 WSB from 3pm-7pm as they chat about MAGA minions, Sora 2 vs. history, SNL's ratings, and so much more! *New episodes of our sister shows: The Popcast with Tim Andrews and The Nightcap with Jared Yamamoto are available as well!

This episode features the core team behind Sora, OpenAI's groundbreaking video generation platform that became the #1 app in the App Store. Bill Peebles (research lead), Rohan Sahai (product lead), and Thomas Dimson (engineering/product lead with Instagram background) discuss the unexpected viral success of Sora's launch, the product journey that led to the breakthrough "cameo" feature (putting yourself in AI-generated videos), and their philosophy of building a creator-first social network that prioritizes human creativity over passive consumption. They reveal the technical milestones in video generation, their small team size (under 50 people total at launch), navigation of content moderation challenges, early monetization strategy, and their ambitious vision for video models as world simulators that could eventually contribute to scientific breakthroughs by 2028. The conversation captures both the tactical product decisions and strategic philosophy that made Sora a cultural phenomenon. (0:00) Intro(1:35) Unexpected Success of ChatGPT and Sora(3:55) Sora as an Independent App(5:38) Sora Prototypes and Evolution(8:07) User Creativity and Surprising Use Cases(14:46) Celebrity Engagement and Rights Management(17:58) Competition and Future of AI Video Models(25:42) Empowering Creators(31:21) The Evolution of Image Generation(33:36) How Do Models Need to Improve?(42:10) Monetization of Sora(45:54) Global Reach and Cultural Impact(48:38) Moderation and Safety Challenges(50:09) Integration with Other OpenAI Products(52:07) How do Models Learn Physics?(55:16) Quickfire With your co-hosts:  @jacobeffron  - Partner at Redpoint, Former PM Flatiron Health  @patrickachase - Partner at Redpoint, Former ML Engineer LinkedIn  @ericabrescia  - Former COO Github, Founder Bitnami (acq'd by VMWare)  @jordan_segall  - Partner at Redpoint
