How Does Gurman Get All Those WWDC Leaks? - DTNS 5284

Hinzugefügt: 2026-06-06

[00:00:05]Hello everybody. This is the daily tech news for Friday, June 5th, 2026. We tell you what you need to know, give you the important context, and help each other understand.

[00:00:14]>> Today, Dr. Nikki tells us how we can regrow our teeth.

[00:00:19]>> I'm so excited to hear about that. And Mark German knows all about WWDC, but the big question is, how does he know all that?

[00:00:27]>> How does he know all this stuff? We just we got to ask the question. I'm Jason Howell.

[00:00:31]>> I'm Jen Cutter.

[00:00:32]>> We're going to start with what you need to know with a big story.

[00:00:38]>> Oh yes. Everybody today's talking about Bloomberg's Mark German's piece of what to expect at Apple's WWDC keynote happens on Monday. German does what he does well. We talk about it on this show many times mentioning his name because he's so prolific. He spills the beans on what Apple has in store. always ahead of any sort of official announcement. He just has some really great sources. And sure, we could spend time talking about what he's sharing. And you know, we'll probably mention a little bit of that, but um you're going to want to make sure that you uh check out Monday's coverage here on the show of the actual announcements. Tom is going to talk with uh Na Montford of Snow Boss. Is it Snow Boss or Snow Boss? My apologies. Uh on the show. uh and they're going to talk about the announcements, the actual announcements, not the leaky stuff. Um, so I'm less interested in the details from the article, but like I said, we'll probably touch on that at the end. I'm more interested in talking with you, Jen, about uh the kind of the machinery around how reports like this happen, especially when you talk about a company like Apple, arguably one of the most resourced companies, outfits, whatever you want to call them, um that could possibly shield themselves uh from these kind of leaks that just kind of reveal everything. And I don't know, I wonder about these things when they happen cuz it's like here it is Friday ahead of the event. Supposedly, we know everything.

[00:02:10]I'm sure Apple has some things that it's holding uh in its pocket that even German doesn't have, but it makes you wonder like how does a person in German's place get access to this stuff?

[00:02:20]Have you considered that?

[00:02:22]>> Uh yeah. Uh I know from my previous work especially now you kind of have an advantage when it's a company as big as Apple because Apple has boy howdy a lot of employees and a lot of employees at various tiers and when you're working in a field it is unavoidable. You're going to meet people who work for various companies. You're going to make friendships when you see the same people over and over again. So it's not even like intentionally cultivating sources.

[00:02:46]You're not like paying people under the table. At least you shouldn't be paying people under the table to get leads and stuff.

[00:02:52]>> Gosh, who knows? Uh, and then you have people exiting companies, which happens commonly, like not even for nefarious reasons. You just have people who are no longer at Apple, who move to Google or anything, and just decide, hey, here's what I know. Here's my signal. Here's where this is going. Uh, and uh, for for something like this too, uh, you might also have an unofficial relationship with people higher up where things get sent to you as a test. Like for video games, a lot of uh companies will do uh internal reviews where they will pay someone like me to play a game, review it internally and give my my true hardcore opinion uh because I don't have to couch it for a casual audience so that they are prepared for any feedback that an audience has. So they can get their talking points ready. Uh some cases it's early enough that uh they can fix things that that might uh you know raise some hackles if they come out.

[00:03:50]>> Yeah. Well, and I think that's probably a big part of this right now. Now, granted, we're kind of kind of guessing here, although I've heard over the years, you know, that there are official uh arrangements, relationships, whatever that that companies can and have struck with certain reporters to make sure that things are leaked in advance, just the right time to get ahead of bad news or to signal to them kind of what to expect. And I'm not saying with any sort of certainty that that happens with German, but it is really interesting that Mark German is so well sourced.

[00:04:23]He's got so many sources dotted throughout Apple's internal structure and not just like the one-offs like, "Oh, I just left. Here's here's some dirt and move on with my life." He's got people that are continuously in there.

[00:04:36]One has to imagine because he's so consistent with coverage like this. And it really makes you question like, okay, if that's the case, a what do those people have um you know, what are they incentivized by? And b, like does Apple actually get something out of something like this? And I think you bring up a really good point. Apple's in a very interesting position right now when it comes to kind of its AI strategy. This is the thing. This is the the microscope that seems to be on Apple at this moment. Are they behind? Are they going to, you know, renovate Siri to to a point to where they it seems like they're catch they're catching up or are they still playing catch-up? and advanced looks into what they're about to announce a couple of days from now gives Apple a little bit of a head start to understand like okay people if they know enough of these details in advance we start to see how they're reacting to them what public sentiment is what is the push back and it allow it it gives them some time to kind of prepare for what's about to happen >> yeah uh Gerbin has a very enviable hit rate uh like dude is on it uh you know that this is not coming from just one person you know that German has done the work has verified this and even when he has to come back and say hey that thing I said six months ago it's changed now and they're pushing it back again uh like every we all take that pretty much at face value because of his amazing hit rate so that is a huge positive for him and it is a positive for Apple because it's not like some uh third party uh person who only like leaks something once every two years where they found like hey we found all of the pictures of the phone um in gaming a lot of things get leaked leaked in South Korea because you have to file for marks so early. Uh so I know that like for uh Paradox the game that I'm looking for like Lego Skylines is coming and I'm like there's a Lego Skylines that's awesome and I know that just because of you know standard filing in uh in South Korea. Uh German does not have that uh to the same extent and yeah it's just people. It's good oldfashioned journalism uh and it's good oldfashioned I have contacts.

[00:06:41]>> Yeah. And I mean he is a fantastic journalist. He he knows how to handle himself when it comes to these leagues, you know, and to kind of cover his tracks and the sources track.

[00:06:50]>> He knows the line.

[00:06:51]>> Yeah, he really does. He really does.

[00:06:53]That's what makes him so respectable here. But but it is interesting like how much of that relationship with Apple, you know, is done in an explicit sense.

[00:07:03]Like is there, you know, direct involvement? Is this all done kind of behind the scenes? Oh, Apple has no clue. Is Apple actually kind of part of this? Whether clandestinely or or more outwardly? And if that's the case, is Gur on the hook to only say the things that he's allowed versus not? I mean, there's a lot of questions. I I'm not I'm not certainly not casting any doubt.

[00:07:27]I love Gurman's work and uh I just I just find this fast this facet of tech journalism just fascinating because I've been dealing with it for the last 20 years in the smartphone world, Android leaks, Apple leaks and everything and uh you know they just they continue on. I have to ask like you know a question like okay what is the source of this?

[00:07:48]How does that work?

[00:07:49]If it was like an official partnership kind of thing, ethically you'd kind of want to have to disclose that. Which is why I think this is just >> oldfashioned journalism. This has been going on too long. It would be a huge scandal if this was like official official. But like Apple looking the other way is different. That's like you don't you don't have to take responsibility.

[00:08:07]>> I think that's Yeah, that's what you nailed it. Yeah. And that's that's what I actually believe is is to a certain degree Apple might not want certain things out there, but it also realizes that oh, you know what? This actually gets people it gives them extended uh attention, extended coverage, you know, when things like this happen, >> it keeps them in the cycle every Monday.

[00:08:26]Every Monday, you know, Apple's going to be in the news and if you know Apple started taking a swing at him, uh that's going to strian affect it to the stratosphere.

[00:08:34]>> Totally. Yeah. Yeah. Good point. Um, so real quick before we move on, what exactly did German share? I feel like what he shared mostly was stuff that we've already been talking about. So I think it's just more like, okay, yeah, all this stuff that you've been expecting from previous leaks is definitely happening. Um, of course OS27 across all of its surfaces, an overhauled Siri as the centerpiece, a newly re revitalized AI strategy, though it's going to be labeled beta apparently according to Gur sources. um more conversational deep integration into system apps, integrations across various models. So the ability to kind of choose different models for different things and then you got your AI integrations into photos, camera, system uh wide writing tools, shortcuts, automation building, wallet, bill splitting features. There's a number of things in there. I don't want to give you the entire list because I mean after all it is still ahead of the event and the event is where the actual stuff happens.

[00:09:33]So, you got to check out Monday's episode of Daily Tech News Show, where um it will all be spelled out uh in an official sense.

[00:09:44]>> DTNS is made possible by you, the listener. Yes, you. Thanks to AB Puppy, Dale Mahhey, Matt Zag, and Shahar Gaval.

[00:09:53]>> Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[00:09:55]>> Each and every one of you.

[00:09:56]>> Yes, indeed.

[00:10:00]All right. There's plenty more that we need to know today. So, let's get right to the briefs.

[00:10:05]>> OpenAI rolled out an upgrade to Chat GPT's memory system that builds on its dreaming architecture. This is meant to make long-term personalization more accurate and much more visible to users, including those on the free tier. OpenAI says the new memory architecture will be much more compute efficient and quote significantly more effective at remembering key personal interactions and details. The new system involved a new memory summary system that the LLM will write to as users interact with the model. Users can take a look at the summary by request and can add or update any information listed there. Users can also tell Chat GPT what it should know or remember to have that information stored there for future reference. So like you do it once, you're kind of ready to go. The changes will begin to roll out to paid users in the US now.

[00:10:58]free users coming soon and other countries it'll spread to in the next couple of weeks.

[00:11:03]>> Yeah, memory in these LLMs has just um continued to be a real I don't know what the right word is unlock. I mean, uh, certainly, um, but really powerful when when done right. Now, there's the people on the side that are like, gh, you know, I don't want it to know so much about me particularly. So, they're going to be feel a little weird about certain details being stored and and used, you know, within your chat experience. But what it really reminds me of, um, big surprise because I've mentioned it many times on the show, I've been working so deeply with Claude and Claude Co-work recently. And if if you're working in co-work, you have this like architecture inside of there as you get deeper with it, like cloud MD files, memory MD files for markdown files. And it's very similar to this. It's like it's like a memory architecture that as you work with it, it stores little pieces of things it learns about you in this markdown file and then is able to call those later. And this kind of feels like that, of course, happening in the cloud, not on your machine, happening for free users. So, it's it's a really powerful um kind of development for these uh systems and makes it a lot more uh yeah, just beneficial when you use them.

[00:12:13]>> Have you gone into the markdown files to edit, remove, add anything at this point?

[00:12:18]>> Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. I've I've been going down the wormhole, the rabbit hole, whatever hole it is, um the past couple of months on Claude, um in really learning and understanding that architecture and how those MD files work. you know, it's all text. It's it's just text with a few, you know, kind of accuchants that make it uh AI readable or LLM um friendly, let's say, but it's really easy to understand and to make changes to it's just text, you know.

[00:12:47]>> So, would something like this make you like switch or integrate it uh a bit more uh instead of uh just cloud?

[00:12:53]>> Well, I I'm not sure because I kind of like having with cloud co-work, I like having a space on my hard drive that has the whole architecture. I've created this entire like file directory system and I've gotten really nerdy with it, let me be honest. Um, and something like what we're talking about here with open with the chat GBT kind of happens more in the cloud and right now I'm more on my device. So it might not explicitly but like I do use chat GBT for certain things. This will un undoubtedly help and inform those interactions going forward. So you know it's just like one of those features that's going to make it a lot more personal, I think. and you'll probably notice it over time. So, interesting stuff. Wired reported finding references to an unreleased facial recognition feature inside the Meta AI app called name tag. That's the name of the feature apparently. Uh it is not running actively. It's not currently sending any biometric data to Meta. So, that's confirmed. But the code does describe a system that captures faces through glasses like Meta's Ray-B bands as one example and then alerts the wearer later when it recognizes someone they've previously recorded with the glasses. It places them inside this like connections section that keeps track of people that the wearer has met. Uh, Meta spokesperson Ryan Daniels confirmed to Engget that the company continues to explore these features, reaffirmed that nothing has shipped, no final decisions have been made. He also offered kind of unprompted that Meta is quote not building a central database. I just want to say this randomly, we're not building a central database. Um, and that any sort of launch would be thoughtful and transparent if and when they choose to do something like that. That's not going to stop anyone, you know, who's really privacy conscious from saying, "Hey, well then don't don't do that," you know, but there it is.

[00:14:49]>> Yeah. Uh the reaction from my infosac friends was, "Of course they did. Of course it's out there already." Yeah.

[00:14:56]>> It doesn't feel like a thoughtful and transparent thing when Wired had to be like, "Hey, did you know this was happening?"

[00:15:03]>> Right. Um I also came across a term that I hadn't heard before. I mean, I've heard spyw wear before, but I hadn't heard it in terms of this spy. W A R.

[00:15:13]This is spy wear as in like wearable spy. I thought that was interesting. I >> That's going to catch on. That is definitely going to catch on.

[00:15:20]>> Definitely. Definitely.

[00:15:22]>> Well, we will definitely be covering uh any uh thoughtful and transparent rollouts should that happen in the near or far future. Uh but we are going to shift gears literally uh because Ferrari is partnering with HP which is not a sentence I ever thought I would say. Uh Ferrari is partnering with HP on a new high-end laptop called the HP Scueria Ferrari AI PC. Real catchy. Uh it's a $5,600 limited edition 14inch laptop that's built as a design first machine as you might imagine because you know their cars are pretty. Uh there are only 4,999 units planned worldwide, so very limited edition run. It has a Roso Magma style red finish inspired by the Daytona SP3, a carbon fiber underside, and a transparent engine bay with the processor and cooling system protected by Gorilla Glass. The trackpad is nearly invisible, and each key has RGB lighting shining through Ferrari's type face. On the inside, which is important, uh there is an Intel Core Ultra X7 with integrated ARC Intel graphics, 64 gigs of RAM, and a one terabyte SSD, and it has a 3K OLED touchscreen. The laptop goes on sale June 12th in select markets, including US, UK, Italy, and Japan. And go look at pictures. It's so pretty. I've always said like, you know, we want more like the old school like Macs and the old school like Game Boys.

[00:16:53]We could get clear plastic on stuff. Uh the clear Gorilla Glass section looks awesome. It >> go through the the inside a little bit and everything, but I mean this is really all about design, less so about performance. Although I'm not I'm not entirely like personally familiar with Intel Core Ultra X7, but the fact that it's an integrated uh graphics instead of, you know, kind of on its own like a dedicated GPU for a, you know, $5,600 laptop. I'm just like really? you couldn't like >> cuz like Intel is pretty good and getting better. Uh but yeah, you wouldn't put uh like Ferrari with the integrated thing and I'm thinking like does this does this bring the cost down?

[00:17:35]Also, what does carbon fiber cost these days? Because that probably isn't cheap either.

[00:17:39]>> No, probably not. But it's a pretty machine. I'll give it >> so pretty. Look at pictures. Honestly, it's worth it.

[00:17:45]>> Cheaper than 5600.

[00:17:49]Uh it is graduation season and we would like to congratulate our very own graduate live with it. That's the show that uh reviews products that we actually live with and use and it is becoming its own show with its own YouTube channel and its own Patreon. To support Livewith as it spreads its wings and grows as an independent thing, please head to patreon.com/livewithit and keep checking out. They're they're pushing out banger episodes uh every single week.

[00:18:18]>> Indeed.

[00:18:23]All right, we have a few headlines to rattle through and then we got an interview. So, let's dive right in.

[00:18:28]>> Valve says it's Steam Machine and Steam Frame will launch this summer. I don't know how, but they're saying this summer. Uh so, we still have like no idea when specifically or for how much.

[00:18:40]Uh, but Valve did share that they will be included in the verified program for games compat compatibility clarity and the Steam store just got a refresh. Uh, so look for it and pray and hope that it is semi-affordable.

[00:18:56]>> We'll see. Maybe not as expensive as the Ferrari laptop, but um, yeah, we'll see.

[00:19:00]Cambridge researchers ran the first human trial of a universal super antigen vaccine designed at its core by an AI model that safely triggered protective immune responses against SARS cove 2 uh SARS and SARBO corona viruses.

[00:19:17]Interesting.

[00:19:18]>> Oh, fingers crossed for that for high-risisk people. Uh, Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince says that Agentic bots now account for 57.5 of global HTTP requests versus 42.5 for humans. Something he had previously predicted would happen in 2027.

[00:19:37]>> Wow. Okay, so the percentage has flip-flopped. There we go. Thanks to RW Nash in the subreddit, Brave launched Brave Origin. It's a $60 one-time stripped down version of its browser. It keeps Brave Shield but then disables a bunch of monetization hooks like rewards, wallet, Leo Aai, news talk VPN promos and sponsored images. So um you know you you might like that. Go for it.

[00:20:02]Anthropic is calling for a coordinated global slowdown of frontier AI, citing internal data that suggests models are getting closer to quote recursive self-improvement that could surpass safety efforts. And it says reshape society dramatically.

[00:20:19]>> It's I swear with with these companies, it's like out of out of one mouth they're saying, "Hey, check out how fast and and how capable these things are."

[00:20:26]And on the other side of their mouth, they're like, "But slow it down." Like I don't I don't understand anthropic. I don't get it. Fitbit Air users who want a watch on their screenless band are now threading uh analog and automatic watches onto the Air's strap. So they hide the tracker under the wrist and then the watch face uh is on top. To which I say nerds, but it's okay. I would totally do that too.

[00:20:53]>> Hey, best of both worlds. Ready to go.

[00:20:55]>> Exactly. Uh, Meta launched the creator assistant, a conversational AI in Facebook's creator dashboard that explains why posts and reels perform along with suggestions from trends and creator data that might get them to perform better in the future, which sounds pretty handy.

[00:21:12]>> H, very handy if it works. Those are the essentials for today. Let's dive a little deeper.

[00:21:18]>> Human trials, actual human trials have begun for a drug that could let adults regrow teeth. Dr. Nikki tells us more.

[00:21:27]>> So, we have talked in the past about a drug that would let you regrow your teeth. Uh, and we said if this ever goes to trials, we would follow up. And so, we are following up. Thank you, Dr. Nikki, for holding our feet or our teeth to the fire.

[00:21:43]>> Um, sure. You're welcome.

[00:21:47]>> Uh, so give us the background uh for those who may have missed the earlier stories about this.

[00:21:53]>> Sure. So, Dr. Tekashi of Ozaka in Japan has been working on the problem of regrowing teeth for the last three decades. I I like this because it's the scientist who's like, I'm going to fix this problem and then is very close to fixing this problem. So, that doesn't always happen.

[00:22:08]>> Right. Right.

[00:22:09]>> Um but back in 2007, his team discovered a mouse model that was mutated and it had way more teeth than usual. Um, and they worked on this for a long time to try and figure out what this is and if you can, you know, if it's going to be helpful for the problem for humans. And they ended up finding out that this mouse lacked a protein that's called USA1.

[00:22:31]And it's a little bit counterintuitive, but this protein basically suppresses the development of tooth buds. So you have kind of embryologically a bunch of tooth buds in your well in a mouse in the mouth that unless something is stopping them will grow teeth. So, we didn't know this until they figured this out, but once they kind of uh inhibited this protein in this mutant model, these mice could then just grow a bunch of extra teeth that were fully functional.

[00:22:56]So, that's kind of the the principle behind it.

[00:22:58]>> Yeah, it does sound backwards to think like there's a protein that stops your teeth from growing versus one that encourages it from growing. How does this work biologically?

[00:23:11]So, as you probably know, we have a set of baby teeth that eventually fall out around adolescence and then our permanent adult teeth grow and then they stay there. And then if those fall out, tough luck. We've got no more teeth after that. Except for this group found out that technically we do have a third set of teeth buds that are dormant um inside our mouth. So, that's very lucky for their application because it wouldn't work without this. So they never grow into a next set of teeth because they're being stopped by this uh USG1 protein.

[00:23:45]>> So the idea is if you administer an anti-USAG1 drug, you can inhibit the inhibition, which is a double negative, which means your teeth can grow >> hopefully.

[00:23:57]>> So it wouldn't be like you inhibit USA G1 and then you're just non-stop teeth falling out of of your mouth like some kind of nightmare. You have to have you have to have the buds. But we do >> Yeah, we're not turning into sharks. Uh but those buds are there and you can do it locally. So it wouldn't be like all of them at once. But if you have one tooth that fell out, you could potentially target with an injection like target this one area >> just inhibited in the area you need it at. Why do we know why we have a third >> set of buds? I mean, if you I I haven't looked this this up, but if you ask me from an evolutionary standpoint, a lot of animals before us do, and so it's kind of an anomaly that we don't have an extra set. So, it's kind of Yeah, it's kind of a leftover.

[00:24:40]>> Um, and that actually addresses like why there's multiple animal models, which we can get into as well.

[00:24:46]>> Yeah. So, this third set of buds is for you, you might say.

[00:24:52]>> I don't understand the joke. That's a Budweiser. Old very old Budweiser.

[00:24:57]Yeah, >> you know, they should really jump on this. We should get that sponsorship.

[00:25:02]>> All right, let's forget about that. Uh, is this ready for me? Can I can I like I've got my full set of teeth, but who knows for how long?

[00:25:10]>> If we could pull them out and put get new ones, >> will I be able to say like yes, just grow me a new tooth.

[00:25:17]>> So, potentially soon. And and sooner than you'd think. I feel like for these things it's like yeah in in you know hundred years we'll figure this out but it's like maybe 5 years from now and actually does >> so over the last decade this team has been developing specifically this drug that uh is an antibbody that so suppresses the function of the USA G1 protein so turns it off and allows this tooth bud to grow and pr proliferate. So they tested it in mice and in ferrets and none of these had serious side effects and they grew like perfectly healthy teeth. Um, and I think it's really interesting that they had, so the reason they had these two different models is because mice have ever teeth.

[00:25:56]So if they don't wear them down, they just grow forever. Kind of like if you think about, you know, how beavers have like these two front teeth that are really long. If they don't chew on them, they just keep growing and can like grow into their mouth.

[00:26:08]>> So, you know, they don't have the same kinds of teeth that we do, but ferrets do. And the trial was also successful in ferrets. So that's like a step closer to kind of human tooth structure, right?

[00:26:20]>> Um so that was really promising and once they got those results they started the phase one human trial >> uh which started in 2024 and ran for a year. So phase one is usually just like a safety trial uh on uh and in this case they did it on adult men who were missing one mer and really the goal is just to make sure there's no serious side effects happening.

[00:26:41]Um, now we haven't heard back whether this was successful, but the plan right now is to move on to phase two trials and they're targeting specifically children with a congenital disease where you just never develop teeth at all.

[00:26:53]>> So hopefully they can kickstart this this tooth growth.

[00:26:56]>> Interesting.

[00:26:56]>> Um, and this will run through 2027. So I'm assuming that's running right now, but it hasn't been um revealed yet. And then after that, if that one's successful, phase three, which is usually a large scale trial, uh is planned to start in 2029. And potentially a drug would be available in 2030. So if your teeth fall out in the next four years, Tom, you might >> just in time for my teeth to start falling out when I turn 60. So that's great. Yeah.

[00:27:24]>> And this has really wide applications.

[00:27:26]Now, of course, they're they're targeting these these uh kids with the congenital uh disease, but about 7% of people in their 20s in the world has lost one or multiple teeth. And then once you of course rise in age, about 20% of people over 60 are missing teeth.

[00:27:40]So, this has a huge impact for those populations. Um potentially replacing implants or even dentures, especially in kids, they have to get different denture sizes as their mouth grows.

[00:27:51]>> So, huge applications here. Really exciting. No, I this is something I've started thinking about is like my my teeth are in very good shape, but you know, they're old. Uh, and I'm I'm always thinking, well, implants are probably the better way to go because then you don't have to take dentures in and out. But this would be much better, I would think.

[00:28:11]>> Would you do it if you >> Okay, so here's the first thing I thought. How much does that hurt though?

[00:28:16]Like surely I've had braces. I've felt what it feels like to move your teeth. Like growing a tooth much suck. I would probably still do it. I'm also like, what if it grows backwards? What What if it grow, you know, are the molecular signals still there to tell it to grow in the right direction? I mean, I'd rather have >> Well, that's why they're doing the trials, right? To make sure, but yeah, >> I'd rather have a backwards tooth than not a tooth, I guess, but >> like I would probably definitely rather do that than >> Probably definitely.

[00:28:45]>> Yeah. Honestly, I have a cap and I I don't like it. I can feel, you know, it hurts when I eat ice cream. So, I'd rather have my own tooth, >> but then that's the last one. There's no more buds after that.

[00:28:55]>> Yeah, that's true. Like, you got to take care of that one because you're not another one.

[00:28:59]>> Oh, that's a really interesting question, too. Like, I have I have fillings that are really old.

[00:29:04]>> Would I rather like if the filling needs to be replaced, which I' I've had that happen once.

[00:29:10]>> Would I rather just be like just take it out and let grow me grow me? I'm not a dentist, but I think you'd have to like wear braces while it's growing so the other teeth don't like back and fill that spot.

[00:29:20]>> But here's the other thing I'm thinking about. So teeth evolutionarily come from skin. I don't know if you know about this. So you know how shark skin is like very sandpapery.

[00:29:30]>> So those are it's actually like formed with dentacles that are tiny mini teeth.

[00:29:35]And what happened evolutionarily is like the region around the mouth got bigger and bigger dentacles. And that's why sharks have this kind of like moving carpet style tooth replacement. It's just like modified skin pieces.

[00:29:46]>> Yeah. Interesting.

[00:29:47]>> And so we have a very very far away developed version of that, but we only have three. And so I'm like maybe they can activate even more. We could have shark teeth, >> right? Can you that would be the next step is to become shark people.

[00:30:02]>> You'd probably have to inject it really early on like as an embryo, but you know, I'm thinking ahead, >> right? No, I appreciate that. Uh, this could time out very well for me. I'm very pleased to >> Yeah, you're like in the right time face for this.

[00:30:15]>> Uh, Dr. Dicki, thank you as always for helping us wrap our heads around this sort of thing. If people want to follow more of what you do, where should they go?

[00:30:22]>> Yeah, you can find more about teeth and sharks and all these other things over at nicolacrimans.com. And I have the same handle on Blue Sky. So, let me know if you would get an injection to grow new teeth.

[00:30:33]>> Fantastic. Thanks, Dr. Dicki. All >> righty.

[00:30:38]I'm not sure that I would, but I have to give a standing clap for Tom's This Buds for You. I appreciated that, Tom.

[00:30:46]>> I appreciate it.

[00:30:47]>> So, you know that commercial. All right.

[00:30:48]I would absolutely >> I would 100% do this. Uh like Dr. Nikki, I did have braces and me too. The day after I got them off in gym class, we were playing lacrosse without helmets and uh I protected the ball and not my face. So that's why like my top teeth survived, but my bottom teeth uh got all messed up and uh it's been a problem and like yes, I will deal with the pain.

[00:31:13]Let's go put the braces on if we need it. That would be incredible.

[00:31:17]>> The day after you got Oh, that sucks.

[00:31:20]>> Oh my parents. Oh, when I had to tell them that news, but like they had to see me all I like I didn't break my jaw, so I was pretty happy about that. But uh >> but yeah, sometimes athletes aren't smart is all I have to say.

[00:31:32]I mean, who would have known the day after you got your stinking braces off?

[00:31:36]That's crazy.

[00:31:37]>> Uh, we end every episode of DTNS with some shared perspectives. Today, Ben from Virginia reports on using Amazon's improved assistant to help him search on the Amazon website. Ben writes, "My use case today was looking for an external CD drive that did not have CD or DVD writing capabilities for compliance reasons. the uh Alexa shopping result uh the sorry the AI uh shopping results surfaced a few and helped explain why I was having such a hard time with the basic search because very few manufacturers make a plain readonly CD drive anymore. I also specified a US brand and got results that included things like junken Corp. So that part failed but that seemed like typical LLM uses. I don't see myself using this for other touted uses like aentic actions or deep AI integration, but hopefully it can help filter a bit better. Thanks and love the show, Ben from Virginia.

[00:32:37]>> I mean, with all these things, they never work perfectly all the time. So, I guess, yeah, sometimes you're going to get what you're looking for and sometimes you aren't.

[00:32:43]>> I see like, oh, Ben, I have one. I actually have one of those cuz I bought it when it was so old. Well, I bought it. My parents bought it and I still keep it around because sometimes when stuff you just Yeah, it's just read only, but sometimes uh I find my old CDs from high school and I want to save them.

[00:32:58]>> Heck yeah. I've got a whole I've got spindles full that I, you know, still I I have a Mac uh Mac Pro from like 2007 that I still have primarily because of that. Like I still need a thing to to hold them on. Yeah.

[00:33:11]>> And it's too big. I don't know. Yeah.

[00:33:14]>> Yeah. Exactly. Like Oh, interesting.

[00:33:16]That's how I formatted my my word documents back then. Uh yeah, interesting. Thank you.
