Co-hosts Andy, Michael and Michael start things off on a quantum note, where a particle can be two places at once. Actually, according to the New Scientist article, the angular momentum could be disembodied from the particle. In related news, the collapsing of the quantum field for whether a player is offsides or not in the Premier League will now be determined by a bevy of iPhone instead of VAR.

Moving right along to the AI theme for the week, the co-hosts take a look at a build your own version of the Rabbit that the team over at Comfyspace have called the Rappit. Then, they bring up the challenges associated with training LLMs, and the solution from ProRata.ai, which aims to compensate creators when GenAI results leverage the creator’s intellectual property. This leads to a recent report in The Verge of ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt’s comments at a Stanford economics class.

Next up are some examples of non-AI hardware, in the form of a wearable computer which takes advantage of XReal Air AR glasses and a Corne keyboard. And there’s something just wonderful about the Carabiner Collection website.

Wrapping up this week’s episode, the co-hosts discuss the Pluralistic post about the DoJ’s decision on Google, and a browser based version of Diablo.
