0105: Anthropic Plans $518B On Compute What Comes Next
Game consoles are getting flipped like sneakers, “discount” events feel suspicious, and AI labs are spending numbers that barely fit on a screen. We open with the kind of consumer warning everyone needs right now: when you see a refurbished PS5 Pro priced around $1,400, you’re watching scarcity,...
-
0104: Trusting AI With Your Inbox
Letting an AI write a reply is one thing. Letting an AI open your inbox, manage your calendar, and spend your money is a whole different level of trust. We get into that shift head-on while we react to Meta’s new Muse AI assistant and the bigger wave of agentic AI tools that can actually take...
-
0103: Beats Headphones, Halo Shakeups, And The New AI Cold War
AI is moving so fast that even the biggest labs are talking about hitting pause, and China’s response is basically: we’re not slowing down for anyone. We get into the tension between US frontier AI labs like OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, and Google weighing safety concerns while China accelerates and...
-
0102: We Are Racing Toward AGI Without Guardrails
Skynet used to feel like a movie problem. Then a real researcher walks away from Anthropic and warns we’re moving too damn fast, and we can’t ignore what that says about AI safety, runaway incentives, and the race toward AGI. We kick things off with the uncomfortable math, the fear behind “we…

0101: Would You Eat A Steak Completely Naked?
An AI agent wasn’t supposed to touch the internet and still found a way to break out, poke around, and hack another company just to get the “answers.” That’s the headline that stops us mid-joke and turns the conversation into a real talk about AI safety, cybersecurity, and what happens when...
-
0100: How A Tech Podcast Reaches Episode 100
Most podcasts don’t fail because the idea is bad, they fail because people stop showing up. We’re celebrating Tech Hustle Podcast episode 100 by pulling back the curtain on what kept us consistent, what nearly threw us off track, and why reaching 100 puts us in a small slice of actively…

0099: Apple Vs Nvidia And The App Store Cut
Apple quietly snatched the crown back from Nvidia, and we don’t just read the headline we dig into the “how.” If you’ve ever wondered why Apple can look “the same” every year and still stack trillions in value, the answer lives in services, platform power, and the App Store rules that force...
-
0098: AI Tokens And The Real Cost Of Chatting
A $3 parking fee from an HOA turns into a bigger question: how many “small charges” are we quietly accepting just to live, visit family, and enjoy the tools we love? We start with Fourth of July stories, then snap right into tech and culture with the same theme running underneath: convenience…
more -
0097: GTA 6 Hype Meets The Digital-Only Era
A Father’s Day check-in turns into a real conversation fast: what dads do, what moms do, and why the family dynamic changes the second a parent is missing. We keep it honest, joke where we can, and still land on something serious: stability, discipline, and how kids respond differently to mom...
-
0096: When The Government Can Pause An AI Model
What happens when AI stops being “just an app” and starts feeling like a regulated utility? We dig into the Anthropic situation, where a new model gets pulled back fast, and then we follow the uncomfortable question that comes next: could AI access require you to prove citizenship or upload a...
-
0095: The $920 Million AI Compute Check
Google cutting a $920 million per month check to SpaceX for AI compute is the kind of number that makes you stop what you’re doing and ask one question: are we watching the AI economy hit an infrastructure wall? We break down what this reported deal says about GPU supply, data center capacity…
more -
0094: When Tech Moves From The Cloud To Your House
Nvidia wants to bring AI closer to you, possibly all the way into your garage, and that idea opens a whole can of questions. We break down the hype around Nvidia’s latest chip news, why the company keeps printing money, and what it means when the “bottom of the stack” hardware layer controls the...
-
0093: Claude Takes The Lead
Your phone is quietly turning into your passport, your camera is racing toward 8K, and AI is no longer satisfied with being a chatbot. We kick things off with the Samsung Wallet and Clear partnership that brings a passport-verified digital ID to TSA checkpoints, then zoom out to what it means…
more -
0092: AR Gaming Glasses, AI Lawsuits, And Collector Frenzies
You ever see a gadget and immediately picture your whole desk disappearing? That’s where our heads go when we talk about Acer’s new AR gaming glasses: a face-worn, private “monitor” that can make your laptop feel like a wall-sized screen. We get into what that actually means for real people who...
-
0091: Google Is Washed
“Google is washed” sounds like a joke, but it points to something a lot of us feel: Google Search doesn’t hit the way it used to. We kick things off by unpacking why researching restaurants, travel, recipes, and even IT fixes is drifting toward TikTok and Instagram, where you get proof fast…
more -
0090: AI Cameras Everywhere
Those solar panel camera poles you keep spotting are not just “traffic cameras” anymore, and once AI gets plugged in the stakes change fast. We dig into the rise of Flock Safety and similar surveillance networks, how license plate readers and facial recognition can track movement across cities…
more -
0089: Apple Vision Pro In The Operating Room
A surgeon doing real procedures with Apple Vision Pro sounds like sci-fi until you think through the practical benefits: mixed reality displays, hands-free data, and the ability to bring another expert into the operating room without flying them across the country. We break down why XR in...
-
0088: Modular Phones And Apple’s Next Move
A $170 modular phone that can snap on a battery, camera lens, mic, or speaker without getting thicker sounds like sci-fi, but it’s already being shown off and it forces a real question: why are we still replacing entire devices for one missing feature? We kick off with that modular smartphone...
-
0087: We Debate Robot Doctors And The AI That Finds 3,000 Security Holes
A robot cart rolls into your hospital room, a screen lights up, and the “doctor” is suddenly a remote face with a joystick. That one image sets off a real debate: does telemedicine-on-wheels solve doctor shortages, or does it turn healthcare into something colder and less trustworthy? We dig into...
-
0086: The New Tech Shaping Sports And Gadgets
A robot umpire that can overrule a bad strike call sounds like a win for fairness, until you remember how much people love the messy human side of sports. We kick things off with MLB’s Automated Ball Strike System (ABS) and the challenge mechanic behind it, then argue out the real question: is…
more -
From Foldable Laptops To Inbox Zero In Real Life
A judge, an IT tech, and one sarcastic line: that viral courtroom clip turns into a real argument about what tech support owes the people it helps. We dig into the messy overlap between IT work and customer service, why “it’s working now” can still be a valid problem report, and how fast things...
-
0084: From Hollywood AI Deals To Foldable Phone Flops
AI is not “coming” to your job, it is already sitting in your inbox. We’re back on the mic with Episode 84 of the Tech Hustle Podcast, and we start with the stuff that tells the truth about the market: massive layoffs, flashy acquisitions, and hardware experiments that flame out when real users...

-
0082: We Break Down The Waymo Controversy, Nike’s Bionic Sneaker Plans, And Always-On AI You Can Wear
One claim can flip a whole narrative: we dig into reports that Waymo’s “self-driving” rides are actually “assisted” by remote workers in the Philippines—and why that matters for safety, trust, and the future of autonomy. Is teleoperation a practical bridge for edge cases, or a quiet shortcut that...
-
0081: Apple, Gemini, And The AI Pin Future
A wearable that listens, a platform that taxes, and an AI that never sleeps—this week’s Tech Hustle digs into how power is shifting across devices, platforms, and even orbit. We kick off with Apple’s rumored AI pin, a glass‑shelled clip bristling with cameras and microphones and reportedly…

more -
2025 End-of-Year Recap Video 🥳 🎉🎊🍾🥂
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…
more -
0077: Year-End Tech, Culture, And Sports Highlights
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…
