AI Helps Salesforce Cut 4000 Jobs. Will It Make New Ones?

AI NEWS: Salesforce CEO Mark Benioff says AI helped cut 4000 jobs from their workforce. Is this the start of a bigger trend? FYI, Optimus 3 isn't *really* ready to take those jobs yet.

Google's NanoBanana continues to amaze us and we show off some really fun new ways to use it. Google *also* has a new vibecoding platform, a cool AI video real-time video model & a 'boring' but great open source AI image model.

Then, at the end of the show, we go off the rails. WE ARE SORRY. YOU ARE GREAT.
