Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hey, what's going on, everybody? Welcome to The Daily AI Show. It is Monday, December 8th, 2025. We appreciate y'all being here. Sorry for a little bit of the delay getting live, but as we've been talking about on the show a bit, we were transferring back to a very popular podcast platform called StreamYard.
Chapter 2: What recent lawsuits are affecting AI companies like Perplexity?
We actually started our show on StreamYard and moved away for various reasons over the last two years, two plus years. And well, now we're back because we're having issues on the other one. But as things go,
Chapter 3: How are paywalls impacting content scraping in AI?
There's always technical challenges and we were having echoes and things like that. So Beth is on mute because she's fixing some stuff on her side. But today we have Beth, Andy and Brian. We appreciate you all being here or everybody being here. Let's see. All right. I can see Cisco's comment. All right. Fantastic. We're actually seeing some comments in here as well. Hey, it's a Monday.
We knew there'd be some some technical challenges as we got going.
Chapter 4: What are the major UX issues with early AI wearable devices?
But we're appreciate we appreciate everybody being there and. Lo and behold, I could actually put comments. So hopefully onwards and upwards from here. But anyway, like I said, today is January. I'm sorry. No, December 8th. We're not in January yet. December 8th, 2025. If this is the first time you're checking us out, hey, we appreciate you.
We've been growing quite a bit, especially on Spotify, but also on YouTube as well this year. So welcome. We do this five days a week, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.
Chapter 5: How did Poetic outperform Gemini on the ARC AGI 2 test?
Eastern. This is episode 611. And as we like to say, we have not missed. a Monday through Friday yet since starting, so we have quite a streak going with no intention of stopping, which means as we get into the holiday season here, you can expect to have a live episode even if it's Christmas Day. Even if it's New Year's Day, two of us, at least, that's our bare minimum, will be here to do a show.
We don't promise that it'll be an hour long, but we will be here. We will be here live, so that should be the fun of it. Okay. Yeah. Cisco saying I'm jumping the gun and already ahead of the curve. Yes, Cisco.
Chapter 6: What factors are contributing to ChatGPT's slowing growth?
I know. I'll get it here. It's a little disorienting as we get into this new system.
Chapter 7: What are the expectations for OpenAI's upcoming 5.2 release?
So new old system. Anyway, that's behind the scenes. Y'all don't really care about that. You guys care about AI and what's going on in the world. And as we usually do, we start off with some of the news, usually with a weekend that's gone by.
Chapter 8: How is Netflix's acquisition of Warner Brothers significant for AI content?
There's a little bit more of it. I will say this weekend, not as much that I saw. Maybe Andy or Beth, you will disagree with me. And there was a lot of news that you saw pop out. But sometimes the weekends can be
like a lot a lot of a lot of stuff comes out and there's a lot to catch up on mondays this one weirdly feels a little slower to me um it seems to be more of like the types of stories we've already heard about um one that i wanted to bring up that'll just kind of kick things off here and then andy i'll throw it to you and then beth you can kind of just let us know when
when you're ready on your side, perhaps. But Andy, one of the ones I saw was, you know, this is a story that we've seen quite a bit, right? Which is perplexity or other AI problems AI providers being sued. And this time that the news is coming around, I thought this had already happened, but at least it's on TechCrunch. New York Times is suing Perplexity for copyright infringement.
So this is definitely not the first time we've seen something like this. Oftentimes where these end up playing out is in some sort of formal agreement between how New A lot of times these things don't actually go to trial, or at least I don't believe I've seen one go to trial yet. So I'm not sure, Andy, if this is like just playing the game at this point.
New York Times ultimately knows what the outcome of this is going to be. Perplexity ultimately knows what the outcome of this is going to be. It's going to all kind of get settled. But nonetheless, they they are getting sued. Now, this comes five days after. Oh, I want to say it was, yes, the Chicago Tribune also filed the suit this week. So we've seen this.
Now, there's not a lot of precedence based on what TechCrunch is saying and what I've read otherwise. There's not a lot of precedence for this actually going through. But I still think what we're ultimately doing here is we're jockeying for position. New York Times wants to make sure they're getting paid where they feel like they should be getting paid.
Perplexity is going to say, okay, there's going to be some sort of agreement. And this is going to like the dominoes are going to kind of fall as all this sort of gets new and shuffled, much like what we're seeing in the music world, right? With Sunos and Udios and Warner Brothers Studios. And, you know, so anyway, what do you, I don't, Beth, jump in, obviously.
I'm not excluding you, but I'm not sure if the mic is there yet. But Andy, what do you think on this as far as like, seeing these lawsuits kind of roll through.
I don't have much to add. I think you captured it well. It reminds me of the Trumpian approach of suing media companies in order to get them to pay up and get in line. And this is the other direction. It's the media companies suing the AI companies to make sure that they get into an agreed structure.
