ChatGPT pinned chats rollout

Jyunmi hosted this Christmas Eve episode with Beth, Andy, and Brian. The tone was lighter and more exploratory, mixing AI headlines with a holiday themed discussion on AI toys, gadgets, and everyday use cases. The show opened with a round robin on debates around general versus universal intelligence, then moved into robotics progress, voice assistants, enterprise AI adoption trends, and finally a long, practical segment on AI powered consumer gadgets people are actually buying, using, or curious about heading into 2026.
