Duration: 00:24:36
October 14, 2025
- The future AI platform war is centered on context, specifically where user data resides and what tools can access it, rather than on the AI models themselves.
- Context engineering is emerging as a critical discipline focused on organizing and orchestrating data for AI agents, going beyond prompt engineering to enable more complex tasks.
- Major tech companies like Slack, Google, Microsoft, and Grammarly are vying to become the central context platform for AI, recognizing the immense value of user-specific work data.

Duration: 00:31:38
October 13, 2025
- A new study reveals that Americans are generally willing to accept AI automation in most occupations, especially when it's cost-effective and performs better than humans, with "caregiving, therapy, and spiritual leadership" being notable exceptions seen as morally repugnant to automate.
- Combining public sentiment with worker preferences shows a discrepancy, where the public may approve of automating tasks outside their own jobs, while those in the profession value the "human touch" and wish to preserve certain aspects of their work.
- On-the-ground examples in blue-collar trades demonstrate significant time savings and efficiency gains from AI adoption without impacting hiring rates, suggesting AI can augment rather than replace workers by handling administrative burdens.

- Figure 03 represents a significant step in humanoid robot development, featuring improved hand dexterity, AI-driven action models, and design enhancements focused on mass production and usability.
- SoftBank's acquisition of ABB's industrial robotics division signals a major investment in "physical AI," aiming to fuse AI with robotics to drive advancements, despite the current focus on industrial robotic arms.
- China is rapidly advancing in robotics and embodied AI through massive investment and deployment, with significantly higher numbers of industrial robot installations and the emergence of companies shipping humanoids at scale.
How to Use Sora 2 For Business + Prompting Guide
Duration: 00:27:25
October 9, 2025
- Sora 2 allows for both short, open prompts that grant the AI creative freedom, and longer, more descriptive prompts for specific visions.
- A strong video prompt "unit" should include elements like a style reference, camera setup, subject action, camera move, lighting, and dialogue or sound to achieve a balance between control and AI creativity.
- For complex, cinematic shots, Sora 2 can handle ultra-detailed prompts that specify the look, camera setup, grading, and soundscape using professional production terms, potentially using AI, like GPT-5 thinking, to help fill in missing details.
5 Reasons AI is a Bubble (And 5 Itโs Not)
Duration: 00:35:45
October 8, 2025
- The conversation centers on whether the current AI boom is actually a bubble, sparked by a recent report questioning Oracle's AI cloud profitability.
- A key area of debate is circular investment, where investments between AI companies like Nvidia and OpenAI could be artificially inflating demand for AI technologies.
- While bubble concerns exist, the speaker argues the AI sector demonstrates real revenue growth, low leverage compared to the dot-com era, and significant demand, suggesting the boom is justified and sustainable.
