You should email everyone one of these companies with a weird name with "everyone will think you're a pretentious douche if you call them that and then call them smart glasses anyways". Then charge them $10,000 for saving their branding.

It gives "I've only listened to whatever's on the trending page" and "I've never listened to a full album by any artist".

It's amazing how many people have no idea. Went to one friend's wedding and the "DJ" was running a playlist with a fade between songs.
Was at a random street fair and the DJ was crazy good! He was responding to specific people in the crowd! It gave me an new appreciation of DJing as a craft

I wish the car market was conducive to kei cars here. Like. Most of them can entirely hide in the average 25 truck's blindspots easy. Nightmare for anyone safety minded.

Robert I've been listening to your podcasts all day and somehow this feels worse.
There's something especially reprehensible to me about how these people's whole grift is preying on scared mothers-to-be and gambling with their childrens' lives.

I used to use Google as my general Internet test. Like sometimes my ISP just sucked and I needed to know if it was them or the site I was going to. Now it just takes forever like everything else! Nothing's snappy and quick anymore! What the fuck!

Parallel. Smishing is trying to get info like account numbers, passwords, etc. I think smishing is more likely to look like a "someone tried to log into your account. No you? Click here to log in!" Type of thing.

I'm in the business of business, and in my business we say "you just gotta business harder". It always works out.

The officer Sandwich Guy is charged with assaulting testifies that he could feel the impact of the sandwich through his ballistic vest, and it “exploded all over my uniform.” He says he could “smell the onions and the mustard.”

If they claim that $200b+ or whatever in Azure use as revenue now, will they need to count it as a loss if/when OpenAI goes under? Like. How does that work?

It's okay I've been sneaking into the lab and replacing their poisons and venoms with appropriately colored Gatorade. You're gonna be so hydrated and electrolyzed.

Sam needs more money than exists to keep this company alive. He is a tech CEO in search of more money. Treat everything he says accordingly.

We should be treating this like a used car salesman pitch. Does he claim the car can fly? Can he actually demonstrate it? Or did he just get a second of airtime when going over a bump? He needs the proof positive that this is a real thing, not just Yet Another Hype Tactic.

This should be believed just as much as his statements that he's going to spend more money than exists in the next year or two, and that he'll complete a data center next year that has parts with 3-5 year lead times.
You should start from the assumption Sam is lying when he says anything.

This is nonsense and Sam Altman is just a liar. He says fantastical things about his software to get people to think it's more powerful than it is so they give him more money.
