In this episode, Gordon Mullan and Govind Shukla explore the wildest edges of AI and robotics in 2025. We cover Google’s quirky “nano-banana” release, xAI’s spicy new Grok tools (and Musk’s surprise launch of Macrohard), and why OpenAI’s IQ-beating GPT-5 is rewriting the rules. From Unitree’s domination at the Humanoid Robot Olympics to Meta’s next-gen vision model, Anthropic’s coding tutor, and Perplexity’s secret web-scraping scandal, we unpack what’s hype, what’s real, and what’s just a little unhinged. We also dive into China’s latest world-building AI engines, Nvidia’s 53× speed breakthrough, and how to keep AI from spiraling into psychosis. Tune in for the freshest updates on Big Tech, robots that sprint faster than you, and the strange future of AI nations.
