First aired: 18 November 2025
Summary: I covered some major developments today, starting with a proper internet meltdown—CloudFlare went down, Twitter collapsed, and half the web seemed to follow. Technical chaos aside, the main story is that Gemini 3 looks like it's dropping any day now, possibly today or by week's end. The leaked benchmarks are frankly absurd, showing it absolutely smashing everything else on the market, particularly in coding and agentic tasks. There's also speculation that Warren Buffett saw a demo and immediately invested in Alphabet, which would be wild considering he famously avoids tech he doesn't understand.
Meanwhile, xAI released Grok 4.1 yesterday—terrible timing, really—which is supposedly brilliant for creative writing but might get overshadowed within days. The benchmarks look suspiciously good, and unlike previous model updates, nobody on Twitter even noticed the rollout, which tells you something. I also touched on Jack Dorsey bringing back Vine as an anti-AI platform, which I reckon won't matter much because most people simply don't care whether content is AI-generated or not. We'll see if the market proves me wrong, but I doubt it will be the differentiator they're hoping for.
