The era of the AI browser is here, and OpenAI is finally in the game. Nilay, Jake, and Hayden sit down to chat about what it means to have ChatGPT in your browser and able to control your cursor and surf the web for you. Also this week: Nilay's warning about using old surge protectors, the devastating and inevitable outcome of the Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition, and Samsung's Galaxy XR headset, which looks a lot like a Vision Pro. Finally, Brendan Carr Is A Dummy makes it triumphant return. And we wrap it all up with the Lightning Round, talking about the the Friend protest, GM's decision to ditch CarPlay, the AWS outage, the future of the Xbox, and more. #Vergecast #Podcast #Technology 0:00 Intro and What's Coming Up 00:49 Cable and Streaming Industry Changes 01:33 AI Browsers and Their Impact 02:24 Personal Story: The Surge Protector Incident 07:26 The Future of AI Browsers 32:53 Apple's Struggle with Control 33:35 Meta's Whiplash Spending 35:38 Meta's Vision for AI and Glasses 37:48 Tech Giants' Fragmented Efforts 39:13 Meta's Lack of a Clear Thesis 46:23 The Future of Computing Interfaces 52:26 Warner Brothers Discovery's Sale 59:37 The Streaming Service Dilemma 01:05:31 Generational Warner Brothers Deals 01:06:47 LinkedIn Jobs: Your Ultimate Hiring Partner 01:09:04 Brendan Carr is a Dummy: The FCC and AI Regulation 01:16:17 Lightning Round: Tech News Highlights 01:34:56 Microsoft's Eternal Quest: Windows in the Living Room 01:38:08 Conclusion Subscribe: http://goo.gl/G5RXGs Like The Verge on Facebook: https://goo.gl/2P1aGc Follow on Twitter: https://goo.gl/XTWX61 Follow on Instagram: https://goo.gl/7ZeLvX Follow on TikTok: http://bit.ly/42VeCVU Watch The Vergecast on YouTube: https://bit.ly/40RFRkg The Vergecast Podcast: https://bit.ly/3WQDexZ Decoder with Nilay Patel: http://apple.co/3v29nDc More about our podcasts: https://www.theverge.com/podcasts Read More: http://www.theverge.com Community guidelines: http://bit.ly/2D0hlAv Wallpapers from The Verge: https://bit.ly/2xQXYJr Shop our Verge merch store here: https://bit.ly/4kPCmEc Subscribe to The Verge: https://bit.ly/3FT6n5S Subscribe to The Vergecast on YouTube, new episodes on Tuesday and Friday: https://bit.ly/3I6nJtz If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may receive a commission without exerting any influence on editorial content.
