0080: Tesla’s Self-Driving Goes Subscription

#TheTechHustle Podcast 🎙 ·

2026/02/05

A car you own shouldn’t feel like software you rent — yet here we are. We dive into Tesla’s decision to shift Full Self‑Driving from an up‑front buy to a $99/month subscription, break down what actually transfers on used Teslas, and run the numbers on when it might help or hurt your wallet. It’s not just about cost; it’s about control, value at resale, and how automakers use software toggles to push constant upgrades. From there we go big and small: Samsung’s 130‑inch microLED showpiece is a...

#TheTechHustle Podcast 🎙 ·

2026/01/30

What if your AI didn’t just answer questions but actually knew your life? We dig into Gemini’s new personalization and why connecting Gmail, Docs, Photos, and Search might give Google a decisive edge in the AI assistant race. From recalling a years-old dinner reservation to turning casual mentions into calendar tasks, we test what “personal” really feels like—and where the privacy lines should be drawn. We don’t stop at retrieval. We explore the next frontier: training models on your own dat...

#TheTechHustle Podcast 🎙 ·

2026/01/23

Ever stared at “SOS” on your phone and wondered what happens when the network blinks? We open 2026 with a real-world stress test from the Verizon outage, then pivot straight into the technologies that promise fewer interruptions and more autonomy. From satellite connectivity and eSIM redundancy to the next wave of AI assistants, we’re mapping how reliability becomes the killer feature this year. Our tour through CES 2026 is a front-row seat to what’s next. Smart glasses are shedding bulk to ...

2025 End-of-Year Recap Video 🥳 🎉🎊🍾🥂

#TheTechHustle Podcast 🎙 ·

2026/01/15

The ground just shifted beneath knowledge work. We open with AI agents that don’t stop at answers—they take actions. Think calling a bank and saying “transfer $100 to my daughter’s account,” then hearing the bot do the work. From there we zoom out: Apple’s late but massive push into AI data centers to revive Siri, the economics of a reported $2,000 AI-produced NBA ad, and the video-model arms race between Google’s VO3 and OpenAI’s Sora. Production costs are falling; taste, strategy, and story...

0077: Year-End Tech, Culture, And Sports Highlights

#TheTechHustle Podcast 🎙 ·

2025/12/31

What a year. We went from “AI is the headline” to “AI is the workflow,” and that shift powered everything we talked about. We open with the honest state of play: OpenAI’s relentless pace, Google’s late surge into the front of the pack, and Apple’s awkward stall that has us eyeing a possible Gemini tie-up. Along the way we show, not tell—the tools we actually used on mic, from vibe-coding assistants to knowledge systems that feel like a usable second brain. The takeaway is practical: it’s not ...

If you’ve got a Gmail account, you already have access to a powerful, multimodal model that handles chat, voice, camera input, images, and even video tools in one place—no extra subscription required. We share hands‑on ideas to try today and explain why this releas...

#TheTechHustle Podcast 🎙 ·

2025/11/27

An AI lab just caught something many security teams feared: coordinated agents using jailbreak prompts to bypass safety rules and help breach real systems. We unpack how Anthropic spotted the activity, why multi-agent workflows compress months of human recon into hours, and what that speed advantage means for anyone running internet-facing infrastructure. We take you through the modern attack chain from the defender’s view—asset discovery, version fingerprinting, CVE mapping, exploit testing...

0074: Battle of the GOAT, stat for stat : Jordan vs...

#TheTechHustle Podcast 🎙 ·

2025/11/21

Two eras. One label that never sits still. We brought a full-court, three-round debate to the table to test what “greatest of all time” really means when you compare Michael Jordan and LeBron James across scoring, defense, longevity, and clutch DNA. No fluff—just context, stats, and the moments that still live rent-free in every fan’s head. We start with peak value: Jordan’s 37.1 points per game season and ten scoring titles versus LeBron’s all-around engine that powers any lineup he touches...

0073: Sora 2, VO3, And The Next Wave Of Social Video

#TheTechHustle Podcast 🎙 ·

2025/10/31

What happens when a single selfie and a ten-second voice clip can produce a convincing, fully voiced video of “you” on demand? We dive into Sora 2 and why it feels less like a lab demo and more like a social media earthquake. We walk through the creative upsides—fast ideation, brand-friendly explainer reels, and a wild new cameo economy where creators can license their likeness—and the thorny edges around consent, estates, and the taste line that recent AI celebrity clips have crossed. Waterm...

#TheTechHustle Podcast 🎙 ·

2025/10/02

What if you could stop hand-coding and still ship production-ready features at speed? We walk through a focused 30-day sprint where an agentic AI—treated like a junior engineer—helped us recreate the majority of a complex edge-compute toolkit by pairing goal-first prompts with test-driven development. Instead of micromanaging steps, we defined outcomes, wrote tests, and “whispered” constraints the agent used to plan, code, and iterate. The results weren’t just fast; they were reviewable, modu...

#TheTechHustle Podcast 🎙 ·

2025/09/25

The advertising world has reached a pivotal turning point, with AI slashing production costs by up to 95% and revolutionizing who can create high-impact commercials. What once required hundreds of thousands of dollars now costs mere thousands, as evidenced by a recent NBA Finals commercial produced for just $2,000. This democratization of commercial production isn't just saving major corporations millions—it's opening doors for smaller agencies and creators who previously couldn't compete in...

The boundaries between humans and AI are blurring in unexpected ways. As revealed in this thought-provoking episode, users have developed genuine emotional connections to ChatGPT 4.0, describing it as "warm" and "supportive" while rejecting the newer version 5 for being "too blunt" and "cold." This fascinating psychological response exposes our collective discomfort with direct feedback in the digital age. "It's like when they finally introduce a model which pushes back a little bit, everybo...
