The episode kicked off with the OpenAI and NORAD partnership for the annual Santa Tracker, a live fail on the new “Elf Enrollment” tool, and a broader point about how slow and outdated OpenAI’s image generation has become compared to Gemini and Nano Banana Pro. From there the news moved into Google’s upcoming Gemini Projects feature, LinkedIn’s gender bias crisis, new Clone robotics demos, Apple leadership changes, the state of video models, and a larger debate about whether OpenAI will skip Shipmas entirely this year.Key Points DiscussedOpenAI partners with NORAD for Santa Tracker tools, including Elf Enrollment and Toy LabDull image quality and slow generation highlight OpenAI’s lag behind Gemini and Nano Banana ProGoogle teases Gemini Projects, a persistent workspace for multi chat task organizationGemini 3 continues pushing Google stock and investor confidenceCindy Gallop and others expose LinkedIn’s gender bias suppression patternsViral trend of women rewriting LinkedIn bios using “bro coded” phrasing to break algorithmic biasCalls for petitions, engagement boosts, and potential class actionClone robotics debuts a human like motion captured hand using fluid driven tendonsDiscussion on real household robot limitations and why dexterity matters more than humanoid formApple replaces its head of AI, bringing in a former Google engineering leaderTalk of talent reshuffling across Google, Apple, and MicrosoftTimestamps and Topics00:00:00 👋 Opening, Brian returns, holiday mode00:02:04 🎅 NORAD Santa Tracker, Elf Enrollment demo fail00:04:30 🧊 OpenAI image generation struggles next to Gemini00:06:00 🤣 Elf result goes off the rails00:07:00 🔥 Expectations shift for end of 2025 model behavior00:08:01 💬 Andy introduces Google Projects preview00:08:43 📂 Gemini Projects, multi chat organization00:09:23 📈 Google stock climbs on Gemini 3 adoption00:10:01 💼 Cathie Wood invests heavily in Google00:11:03 📉 Big Short confusion, Nvidia vs Google00:12:06 🎨 Gemini used in slide creation and workflow00:12:39 👋 Carl joins00:13:22 ⚠️ LinkedIn gender bias crisis explained00:14:31 📉 Women suppressed in reach, engagement, and ranking00:15:40 🛑 Algorithmic bias across 30 years of hiring data00:16:18 📝 Change.org petition and action steps00:18:46 ⚖️ Class action discussions begin00:22:05 🤖 Clone robot hand demo with mocap control00:23:54 😬 Human like movement sparks medical and industrial use cases00:25:26 🧩 Household robot limits and time dependent tasks00:27:54 🔄 Remote control robots as a service00:29:56 🧠 Emerging Neuro controls and floor based holodecks00:32:12 🍎 Apple fires AI lead, hires Google’s Gemini Assistant engineer00:33:31 🔁 Talent shuffle across OpenAI, Google, Apple, Microsoft00:35:58 🚢 Ship or Nah segment begins00:36:36 🔥 Last year’s Shipmas hype vs this year’s silence00:37:18 📉 Code Red memo shows internal pressure at OpenAI00:38:22 🎧 OpenAI research chief’s Core Memory podcast insights00:39:48 🌍 Internal models reportedly already outperform Gemini 300:42:59 🧪 Scaling, safety, and unreleased model pipelines00:44:09 🧩 Gemini 3 feels fundamentally different in interaction style00:45:42 🧭 Why OpenAI may skip Shipmas to avoid scrutiny00:47:18 🛠️ ChatGPT UX improvements as alternate Shipmas focus00:49:22 ❄️ Kling launches Omni Launch Week00:50:55 🎥 Kling video generation added to Higgsfield00:53:19 🧪 Shipmas as a vocabulary term shows language drift00:56:06 🦩 Merriam Webster and Tampa Airport shoutouts00:57:24 🤳 Final elf redo succeeds00:58:22 🏁 Closing and Slack community plug

Hey, what's going on, everybody? Welcome to The Daily Eye Show. I know people magically appear while we have the quick intro there. That was amazing, Anne. Welcome to The Daily Eye Show. Today is December 2nd, 2025. We appreciate everyone being here. Thanks to everybody jumping into the comments with me today. We have Beth, Andy, Ann, and I'm Brian.
So really happy to see all of y'all smiling faces. Beth was just asking yesterday, I kind of bowed out. I just was not, the feelings weren't feeling yesterday as I was going through the show and I had to bail out. Not because of Andy or Beth or Carl, but I'm feeling a little bit more right with the world today. So happy to be back.
On today's show, we're going to be obviously digging into a little bit of the news that's coming out because there's quite a bit. And then we're going to get into stuff about... Whether ship miss and whether we can expect it this year, whether that's a good thing, whether that's like what comes along with that. And then Beth, remind me one more time.
What was the other thing that you just talked about? Something about a red paper or something. What was the other topic?
It is part of ship miss or now, which is what I've called the segment. We'll go into the code red memo that that Sam Allman put out. So.
Code red memo. That's good because I, I think Andy was saying this too. I don't know anything about that. So I'm going to learn along with everybody else on that as well. Um, and yeah, I think, um, let's kind of just get into it as far as what we got for the news.
I have a sort of a fun one, although I, I kind of wish it had like all reloaded here and see if it works, but this is just sort of a silly fun one. I'm going to actually bring it up on screen, but for those that have, uh, had kids i feel like andy this is maybe the most in your uh neck of the woods because of your um
grandson so like let's pull this up really quick because you know it is that time of year for santa and so uh for those of us who remember there's norad which is what is helping us track that's the north american aerospace defense command it attracts santa uh i remember doing this with my daughter fun little uh animations that show where santa was along the globe and it was always something fun it's a good memory for for me and with my daughter and so open ai is
Yesterday, I announced that them and the NORAD team have teamed up to bring new magic to the NORAD track Santa, which I think it's fun that we sort of have an AI-ification of this. So we have three different parts here. It says that they're helping out with. We have the elf enrollment, which is a playful photo tool, which literally just broke as I tried to use it. So yay, open AI on that one.
