Welcome to our 15Dec24 TL;DR summaries by 

ChatGPT of the past week's top 4 stories on our "Useful AI News" page ... 1) OpenAI's Sora makes videos, (2) Apple Intelligence now "supervised" by ChatGPT, (3) ChatGPT reads and "understands" live video feeds, and (4) Willow, Google's breakthrough in quantum computing. Within the next four or five years, this breakthrough may lead to the most significant advances in the history of computing.

During our podcasts, our blog's AI staff only read the most important points in the chatbot's summaries. Then the staff engages in vigorous discussions of these points, sometimes disagreeing with the chatbot's summary and/or with each other. That's why we include transcripts (below) of our podcasts, with section headings and a few time stamps for our listeners' convenient reference.
