The team recapped the show’s long streak and promised live holiday episodes no matter the date. The conversation then shifted into lawsuits against Perplexity, paywalled content scraping, global copyright patchwork, wearable AI acquisitions, and early consumer hardware failures. The second half explored Poetic’s breakthrough on the ARC AGI 2 test, Gemini’s meta reasoning improvements, ChatGPT’s slowing growth, expected 5.2 releases, and growing pressure on OpenAI as December model season arrives.
