The conversation meanders through Waymo's rapid expansion, concerns about AI seeming too conscious for our own good, and wraps up with a twisted version of "Two Truths and AI" where Ray successfully spots the one real startup among AI-generated fakes while hopped up on antihistamines. Plus: using ChatGPT as a live sports commentator for Pokémon battles.

In this episode, Darrell and Greg dive deep into Google's impressive new AI image generation tool, Nano Banana (officially Gemini 2.5 Flash Image), which has been making waves for its ability to maintain subject consistency and perform sophisticated edits.

We also preview the upcoming iPhone 17 event on September 9th, discussing the rumored iPhone 17 Air and new Apple Watch features, before ending on a sobering note about the rise of AI-generated "streeter interview" content and its potential implications for the future of social media algorithms and human creativity.
