In this episode, we break down Google’s new “Era of Experience” paper and what it means for how AIs will learn from the real world. We talk agentic systems, long-term memory, and why this shift might be the key to creating truly intelligent machines. Plus, a real AI vending machine running on Claude, a half-marathon of robots in Beijing, and Cluely, the tool that lets you lie better with AI.

We also cover new AI video tools from Minimax and Character.AI, Runway’s 48-hour film contest, and Dia, the open-source voice model that can scream and cough better than most humans. Plus: AI Logan Paul, AI marketing scams, and one very cursed Shrek feet idea.
