Episode notes

OpenAI’s co-founder Ilya Sutskever is out and big questions are swirling around AI alignment, GPT-4o is OpenAI’s brand new model & it’s VERY good and Google bring’s a lot (maybe too much) AI to it’s annual Google I/O event. We got it all! The ‘o’ in GPT-4o stands for ‘omni’ meaning that it can do audio/voice, text and video all at the same time and in today’s demo they showed off not only those remarkable capabilities but the speed at which it can do those things.

You can easily interrupt the voice model and carry on a real time conversation but even better, it picks up on the tones and emotions in your voice in a way that does indeed feel magical.

Google’'s I/O event was like all AI and we break down all the biggest announcements and give you our take on whether or not these new tools are going to set it apart from OpenAI.

And we welcome our AI co-host Lola Byte from an older time in the world of tech, herself a little too excited to be engaging with us and wonder exactly what this world is gonna look like going forward.
