In this episode of the Diet TBPN podcast, host Jordi Hays and co‑host (Speaker A) discuss a wide range of tech‑centric news. They begin with a detailed recap of SK Hynix’s record‑breaking NASDAQ IPO, noting the 14 % first‑day pop, the temporary ticker SKHYV, and the broader AI‑driven memory‑chip boom. The conversation then shifts to the launch of GPT‑5.6 (Sol and Sol Ultra), highlighting community demos that turn text prompts into 3D models, the controversy surrounding the new ChatGPT desktop app for macOS, and the blending of Codex, ImageGen and other agents into a unified “Omnibox” workflow. They critique Meta’s AI strategy, citing Semi Analysis’ three‑pillar thesis (data, talent, compute), Meta’s recent AI‑engineer hiring surge, and the competitive dynamics with Google, Anthropic, SpaceX and GPU supply. The hosts then unpack the “Fia gate” – Bloomberg’s investigation into Phoebe Gates’ shopping‑assistant startup, which allegedly injects its affiliate code into checkout flows without user interaction, potentially siphoning millions in commissions. Finally, they explore Hollywood’s current hunt for horror‑meme IP (Backrooms, Siren Head, Mandela Catalogue), describing how studios are buying viral internet concepts for multi‑million‑dollar film deals. Throughout, the hosts intersperse personal anecdotes about AI‑driven screen‑time shifts, user workflow hacks, and community reactions, providing a snapshot of how AI, finance, and media intersect in mid‑2026.
