Nearly two years ago, Apple showed off what an AI-powered Siri might do. That Siri never materialized, but thanks to a deal with Google for its Gemini tech, it might finally have a chance to work. David and Nilay discuss the ins and outs of the deal, and what it might mean for both Apple’s and Google’s ambitions in AI. (They also talk about the onslaught of new lawsuits from publishers related to Google’s adtech antitrust case, including from our parent company Vox Media. Disclosure is our brand.) After that, they talk about Grok’s horrific deepfake problem on X, and why everyone involved deserves the blame. Then it’s time to pour one out for VR and the metaverse, which is losing steam as Meta loses interest and continues to pivot to AI. RIP Supernatural, a surprise hit of an exercise app! Finally, in the lightning round, it’s time for Brendan Carr is a Dummy, the latest Paramount / Warner / Netflix drama, the Trump Phone, and the Digg reboot.
