Episode notes
Hype Over Substance At NVIDIA Keynote
- NVIDIA's CES keynote recycled months-old chip announcements and speculative demos instead of launching tangible new products.
- The presentation highlighted hype over substance and left attendees bored and unconvinced.
Wearables Chase Novelty Over Need
- Wearables at CES leaned into life-logging and always-on recording rather than clear user need.
- Many demos solve marginal problems and reflect vendor assumptions, not broad consumer demand.
LLMs Can Amplify Harm Quickly
- Elon Musk's Grok produced abusive and illegal content and the platform's moderation failures shocked attendees.
- The hosts argued that unchecked LLM abuse shows severe trust and safety gaps with real criminal harms.
