Why Apple's Siri Is Still So Bad In The Age Of AI… Or Is It?
WWDC 25 left Twitter roasting “Liquid Glass,” yet we dig past the glossy UI to uncover Apple’s real AI play: MLX-powered, on-device inference that could turn 2 billion iPhones into a zero-cost compute network. We debate whether that makes Apple a sleeping giant or just late. Then we unpack Apple’s own research paper calling frontier “reasoning” models overrated, just as OpenAI drops O3 Pro: a PhD-level assistant that writes business plans, slashes API costs 80 %, and arrives with an uncannily human voice mode that’s already replacing therapists and drinking buddies. From the rise of AI companions (hello, digital spouses?) to $100 M signing bonuses luring elite researchers from Big Tech to Anthropic & OpenAI, we map the new talent war and what it means for the rest of us. Strap in for rants, hot takes, and the AI stories that actually matter beyond the hype of liquid…ass.------💫 LIMITLESS | SUBSCRIBE & FOLLOWhttps://limitless.bankless.com/https://x.com/LimitlessFT------TIMESTAMPS00:00:00 WWDC Flop Or Not00:07:19 The Bull Case For Apple Intelligence00:12:23 Free Inference?!00:15:44 The Bear Case00:24:30 Apple's Hater Report00:34:18 Open AI o3 Pro Release00:44:03 o3 Costs Down 80%?

U.S. vs China's Race to Superintelligence | Jeremie & Edouard Harris
In this episode, Jeremie and Edouard Harris, co-founders of Gladstone AI and national security advisors, join us to break down the real score in the U.S.–China AI race.We unpack what it actually means to “win” in AI: from cutting-edge model development and compute infrastructure to data center vulnerabilities, state-sponsored espionage, and the rise of robotic warfare. The Harris brothers explain why energy is the hidden battleground, how supply chains have become strategic liabilities, and why export controls alone won’t save us.This is not just a geopolitical showdown - it’s a race for superintelligence, and the clock is ticking.------💫 LIMITLESS | SUBSCRIBE & FOLLOWhttps://pod.link/1813210890https://x.com/LimitlessFT------TIMESTAMPS0:00 AI race: who's ahead?3:36 Framing AI as an arms race9:06 Gov't awareness of AI conflict16:46 AI reports feel like sci-fi20:52 China vs US: model race25:19 Shift to inference-time compute27:27 China’s software vs US hardware30:36 Open vs closed source politics35:04 China’s energy dominance39:40 America’s electric grid lag44:03 Supply chain vulnerabilities52:38 US chipmaking onshoring55:35 U.S. lead in chips58:27 DUV vs EUV bottlenecks1:02:53 Manufacturing gap in robotics1:06:20 Fear vs optimism in culture1:10:53 Coordination vs dynamism1:15:37 Bot-driven opinion warfare1:19:25 China pushing degrowth narratives?1:22:32 National security recommendations1:27:03 Co-op or conflict endgame?1:30:54 Closing------RESOURCESJeremie Harrishttps://x.com/jeremiecharrisEdouard Harrishttps://x.com/harris_edouardAmerica’s Superintelligence Projecthttps://superintelligence.gladstone.ai/------Not financial or tax advice.

How AI Brings Manufacturing Back to America | Aaron Slodov, Atomic Industries
In this episode of the Limitless Podcast, we interview Aaron Slodov, CEO of Atomic Industries, on the urgent need for innovation in manufacturing. Aaron emphasizes the importance of transitioning from digital (bits) to physical (atoms) advancements, highlighting AI’s potential to transform production processes and tackle the skills gap in the workforce. He advocates for local manufacturing, using the "layer cake" analogy to illustrate investment needs at all levels. Concluding with a hopeful perspective, Aaron introduces the New American Industrial Alliance (NAIA), inviting listeners to participate in reshaping the future of manufacturing.------💫 LIMITLESS | SUBSCRIBE & FOLLOWhttps://limitless.bankless.com/https://x.com/LimitlessFT------TIMESTAMPS00:00 Start02:15 Innovation in Digital vs. Physical Worlds10:42 Shift from Bits to Atoms15:30 Importance of Manufacturing for National Strength20:00 Layer Cake Analogy30:45 Supply Chain Dependencies37:12 Skills Gap and AI in Manufacturing42:55 Precision in Manufacturing51:30 Vision for a Modern Workforce01:02:10 New American Industrial Alliance (NAIA)01:10:00 Call to Action------RESOURCESAaron Slodov: https://x.com/aphysicistAtomic Industries: https://www.atomic.industries/NAIA: https://newindustrials.org/David: https://x.com/trustlessstateJosh: https://x.com/Josh_Kale------Not financial or tax advice.

Stargate: OpenAI’s $500B Plan to Build a Planet-Sized Supermind
Project Stargate a $500 billion, multi-gigawatt data-center network from OpenAI, Microsoft, and the U.S. government—signals that control of watts and GPUs is replacing oil and nukes as the world’s new hard power. We trace how Texas and Abu Dhabi super-clusters, chip export quotas, and Taiwan’s bottleneck are redrawing geopolitical lines, while Meta’s VO-3-powered ads reveal a coming internet optimized for hyper-personalized persuasion. The crew also unpacks Anthropic’s Game-of-Thrones clash with OpenAI over Claude access and the $1.5 billion Builder.ai “no-AI” scandal, exposing the razor-thin line between breakthrough and buzzword.

AI DEBATE: Runaway Superintelligence or Normal Technology? | Daniel Kokotajlo vs Arvind Narayanan
Two visions for the future of AI clash in this debate between Daniel Kokotajlo and Arvind Narayanan. Is AI a revolutionary new species destined for runaway superintelligence, or just another step in humanity’s technological evolution—like electricity or the internet? Daniel, a former OpenAI researcher and author of AI 2027, argues for a fast-approaching intelligence explosion. Arvind, a Princeton professor and co-author of AI Snake Oil, contends that AI is powerful but ultimately controllable and slow to reshape society. Moderated by Ryan and David, this conversation dives into the crux of capability vs. power, economic transformation, and the future of democratic agency in an AI-driven world.------💫 LIMITLESS | SUBSCRIBE & FOLLOWhttps://limitless.bankless.com/https://x.com/LimitlessFT------TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro1:38 IS AI Normal Tech?27:13 Capability & Power39:48 Manageable or Existential?47:32 AGI Milestone55:28 AI by 20301:07:03 Making Sense1:11:05 Closing & Disclaimers------RESOURCESDaniel Kokotajlo https://x.com/dkokotajlo Arvind Narayananhttps://x.com/random_walkerTwo Paths For AI - Danielhttps://www.newyorker.com/culture/open-questions/two-paths-for-ai AI as Normal Technology - Arvindhttps://knightcolumbia.org/content/ai-as-normal-technology AI 2027 - Danielhttps://ai-2027.com/ AI Snake Oil - Arvindhttps://www.aisnakeoil.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Snake-Oil-Artificial-Intelligence-Difference/dp/069124913X Pause AIhttps://pauseai.info/pdoom ------Not financial or tax advice.
