2025 Tech Predictions! | EP 116

[@philforrence]

Love this. Wish more journalists did this

[@knaughts]

18:55 "I asked ChatGPT to criticize me and it did; explain THAT, Sam Altman!" 😂

[@skranz2732]

Yay! Happy to see this in my feed 👍

[@lv201]

You are the best tech podcast out there! Keep up the great work!

[@TheAXION2]

Happy New Year guys! This podcast has been my top discovery of the past year. You introduced me to ChatGPT and so many other technologies I wouldn’t have known otherwise. Huge thank you!

[@JoshCroft]

I know only one person that uses Threads on purpose but almost all of us have accidentally clicked into it on accident while on Instagram. Maybe 2025 or 2026 will be different

When was this podcast filmed? Are you guys not reading the news? OpenAI already announced o3 and skipped o2. Also, there have been news that clarified when the OpenAI-Microsoft deal will end and it was quantified in terms of return of investment (100 billion dollars)

They are indeed pundits, not domain experts. Hard to call them good journalists either. Use this show as a datapoint for what most people in the media think about technology, nothing more.

[@alfpenne]

Well, me too, Kevin. I will follow your lead and be the positive poster I want to see more of in the world (without letting it control me). Love this podcast and doubly love the both of you!

[@kylewollman2239]

Such a treat. Looking forward to hearing all your hot takes as the new year washes over us.

[@MitchellVasovski]

nice how your sweater switched to Darth Vader!

[@mr.octopus-plag]

I loved to find your podcast in my feed. Happy New Year, forks! 🎉

[@springbay1]

No matter how hard Casey argues about him being right, you won't get any Manifold monies when him being wrong

[@Bondoz007]

Thanks guys and happy new year :)

[@JustSuds]

Where is episode 115?

[@tracy419]

If the relationship was bad, make sure to thumb up all the shows they hate when you are watching on their logged in account. Really mess up their algorithm 😂

[@nitzans]

31:23 I started using Edge on my work computer and I actually really like it!!!

[@nigelgreenways]

Not that it's a bad pod, but I did think Wirecutter sounded a lot like NotebookLM at first listen!

[@helloimedden]

24:18 Steve didn’t talk very nicely about social media so not as aligned as u briefly mention. And Apple historically is very anti social media. On top of that it would mean iMessage is not used enough by teenager which is a bad look to admit if true, and also very unlikely since iPhones are still wildly popular with teens.

[@Nealiosaurus]

I don't think that Open AI is remotely close to getting an AGI going. The Goldman Sachs report on AI is showing that the amount of compute power, electric power, and training data required to create an AGI is very far off. As a low-confidence prediction, sure... Go ham... But hey, Hard Fork is a VERY friendly environment for AI, despite the NYT lawsuit.

[@tracy419]

Which AI is Goldman Sachs creating that gives them a better idea of where we are in regards to AGI than the actual AI companies?

[@kyber1fun164]

They're not saying they're close, they're saying they will declare success since this simple declaration (regardless of whether it's true or accepted as true by the AI community) lets them get out of their Microsoft deal.

[@spoonfuloffructose]

Completely delusional. Threads is a ghost town.

[@GiblikJovanovic]

it's really crazy how nobody is talking about the book the hidden path to manifesting financial power

[@andreasmoyseos5980]

I was thinking exactly the same. Society is crazy bro.

[@evodevo420]

Agree with both of you on Gemini

[@lakersalex]

Amber Alerts in Los Angeles link to tweets. X is healthy

[@IanScrivener]

Clearly taped last year… you guys are crappy liars

[@lakersalex]

Ouch!
