There's a lot of news this week, so today's episode turned into a whole bunch of lightning rounds. Nilay, David, and The Verge's Jake Kastrenakes talk through all the vibes and news at WWDC, and why F1 seemed to outshine everything else. We also talk about the Switch 2 launch, and the news this week that Microsoft and Asus are building Xbox handhelds in both clever and confusing ways. After that, we run through for a bunch of AI news, including the ongoing decline of Google traffic to the web, the new Dia browser, and Sam Altman's ideas about how much water ChatGPT uses. Finally, it's time for another edition of Brendan Carr is a Dummy, followed by the news of Warner Bros. Discovery breaking up, some very fast flash drives, and a new Meta messaging app. #Vergecast #Podcast 00:00 Intro 03:05 Apple's F1 Movie Focus 08:58 Apple's AI and Siri Struggles 20:21 Nintendo Switch 2 Launch 27:56 Microsoft's Handheld Gaming Strategy 37:33 Transformative Gaming Experience with Switch 37:40 New Switch Features and Microsoft Competition 38:25 Gadget Lightning Round: Nothing Phone 3 and Over-Ear Headphones 42:28 HP's $25,000 Google Beam Hardware 49:38 AI Lightning Round: The Future of the Web and Google Search 51:32 The Impact of AI on Online Publishing 01:05:18 The Future of the Web as an Application Platform 01:19:29 AI and the Future of Web Applications 01:20:38 Apple's Risky Bet on Local Apps 01:21:30 The Hype and Reality of AI 01:22:31 Amazon's Alexa Plus: A Mixed Bag 01:23:29 The State of AI Assistants 01:24:13 Sam Altman's Blog Post and AI's Environmental Impact 01:32:58 The Copyright Battle Against AI 01:38:00 Brendan Carr is a Dummy 01:46:26 Warner Brothers Discovery's Split 01:53:00 Threads Introduces DMs 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 Why'd You Push That Button Podcast: https://pod.link/1295289748 The Vergecast Podcast: https://pod.link/430333725 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 Subscribe to Verge Science on YouTube, a new home base for our explorations into the future of science: http://bit.ly/2FqJZMl
