Welcome to Command AI, the show where we press command F on the internet's AI news and somehow still can't find our sanity. I'm Samuel Gregory. This is Gabaza and we're here to decode the weekly chaos in AI web design and development. This week we have the illusion of the illusion of thinking, debunking Apple's claims. Translate the Oxford English dictionary in a mere two seconds. DPL claims is Gemini winning 2.5 Pro Flash go on general release and light mode joins the chat. Figma MCP server is the latest in front-end developer workflows and Sam Alman's on a rampage against meta. Okay, maybe that one the last one's a bit of a stretch, but we'll get into all that on this week's episode.
Does that work? Should I just wear these for the intro? Yeah, it it's awesome. Brilliant. Brilliant. A lot of energy. Love it. Oh, thank you. It's do you know I find it so hard to read. That's why I don't do scripts because I find it so hard to read and like entertain at the same time. It's I think it's a dyslexia thing but whatever. Anyway, debunking debunking debunk Apple has been debunked. It's something we spoke about last week. Did you read this uh this claim? Uh I read I I mean we talked about Apple's claim but I don't know about the new claim about you know so yeah what you remember what Apple said right that there's models aren't actually thinking they're not actually reasoning where you've got Alex Alex Lawson here publishing the illusion of the illusion of thinking right it's a it's a I don't know what the hell I'm looking at here it's it's an article um which he's bas basically saying it even looks the same.
That's quite funny. Um he's saying that the there are a few things that Apple kind of messed up on which is namely they kind of ran these models to their absolute limit. So their context window was like at its peak which as we all know the more like the more context you give something the the worse it's going to perform. Um, so the budget token they were saying was uh hitting their absolute maximum. Um, the what else we got here? The the river crossing tests include mathematically impossible instances with insufficient uh so there's a boat capacity for six actors or something. It was one of the games that um Apple put the models through that were impossible, but yet when they recognized it was impossible or unsolvable, they were then penalized for it.
And the evaluation uh scripts failed to distinguish between genuine reasoning failures and practical output constraints judging by models solely on completed moves. I don't actually understand that one. I'm going to be completely honest. the I guess the the overall point is is that they kind of what's the what's the phrase we're looking at when uh they were already cut at the knees sort of thing when they were put through these tests. Um so I don't know that's a phrase to be honest but we're going to go with it. So yeah, um there's a battle. There's a battle that's on. Oh, this is the illusion of thinking. Actually, to be fair, I've got the wrong article up, but there is maybe I can get it up.
Maybe I can find it for you. But yeah, there is uh there is the illusion of the illusion of thinking. And it's sort of I don't know. I feel like that is interesting. Maybe Apple comes up uh backing their claim. That would be to see. It's like a like a a online battle between No, you're wrong. No, you're No, you said this. I said this. I want to find saying that because the context window was, you know, at its capacity, the the models can't think it's I I I don't know. I need to read more about this because it doesn't it sounds like well that that's the definition of you know not being able to keep up and think.
It's like if you lose context, that's one of the main issues we have with LLMs, right? Yeah. It appears that we have such a bigger context. Well, we're getting bigger. But even still, even if you have um even if you have a big context window, it's still good practice to once you finish your task, once you've done with what you want to do, free up that context. It's like prompt engineering 101 sort of thing. So, um I'm just trying to find the actual article or whatever that uh the that this guy actually wrote, but um yeah, it's not a good thing to put um models through this sort of thing. So, um there was something else as well that I remembered from it, but yeah, I don't know.
We'll see. It's like a Yeah, like I say, it's like an online he said, she said type of thing. I don't know whether Apple are going to come back with anything uh particularly, you know, they've said their piece, they've said their piece, just end it there. Do you know what I mean? It could end up being just a bit of a feud that's unnecessary sort of thing. So, yeah, we'll see. Yeah. Um, where am I now? I've got Windows everywhere. Internet translated in 18 days by this is your side of the pond. This is a German German company called Deep L. Yeah, technic technically this is a Nvidia story really. I think maybe this is more of a marketing thing uh for Deep L but deep are a translation company.
They've I mean it's just like Google translate but I think they offer enterprise solutions and and um you know it's more than just this chat interface that we have but they were provided a ton of um Nvidia GPUs. So um 128 basically GPUs going off. Oh, we got Christian's join the chat from Cologne. Uh hello there NJ video for today. I don't know what you're saying. Um, journey video today. Midjourney video today. Yeah. What's that? Uh, did you play with it? Do you want to give more context? Uh, with the midjourney video. Yes, I did. Yeah. Yeah, I did. But yeah, you have to get a good Let's Let's finish this and we'll talk about mid Journey.
So, a bunch of GPUs basically and they it translated the entire um internet in 18 days that was previously set 194 days. So, nearly a year by the previous supercomput well I mean not threequarters of the year two-thirds of the year uh down to just 18 days. Um and this is a 90% reduction in translation time. What I thought was more interesting is that it can it translated the Oxford English dictionary um in two seconds down from 39 seconds which is just absolutely insane. But this is all thanks to the kind of like Nvidia GPUs. I am an investor in in Nvidia so I'm I'm happy to see this this news go out. Um and yeah, it's pretty badass.
It's pretty crazy. Very interestingly, um I was talking with my project manager earlier and I told her, "Hey, uh Sam actually uploaded a piece of last week's video. Can you check it out? I want to show you something. I just want wanted to show her the thumbnails, but then she clicked on it because the titles were in Spanish. She's originally from Spain and right now he is in Spain. See? and she she opened the video and we were speaking in Spanish and I recorded a piece of that in loom so it's quite funny we are both talking with the same um voice so it can't recognize that yet and I was like how is the how is the translation and she was like for the general things I understand what you say and then all of a sudden I'm like what are they talking about?
Yeah. AI artificial intelligence. No, it was like I could understand the vertical and horizontal uh because it it was literally the same word translated. Yeah. Yeah. It's like in Welsh like they don't have modern words for things. So it's like they'll be talking in Welsh and they'll be like DVD and microwave. Actually, poppity pink they call microwave Welsh, but yeah. Oh, that's good. Yeah, because I had it a little while ago where they um Yeah, I was I was welcome to the beta and I just turned it on for a video, but I'd never actually gone in and checked like the result of it. So, so hang on. We are literally speaking in Spanish, but our mouths are not speaking in Spanish, but the audio is speaking in Spanish.
Is that right? Just the audio. It's just the audio. Yeah. And is it in our voices or is it kind of like a It's not. Okay. So, she said it really sounds like South African uh accent in a way. It doesn't sound like she's from Spain. She's from Barcelona. She said it sounds like from South Africa. You are. And um both of our voices were one. So, it was like just one voice. One. Okay. Yeah. I mean, it is B. It's I kind of got a South African vibe going today. I could I could put South Afric I I don't know there are so many YouTube videos that I want to share with my dad and I can't I even try to translate some videos uh you know just take the uh transcript translate it and then re-upload it again or some something like this uh to show a few videos to my dad but you know not not it's not the same.
So I'm really excited to see this becoming actually viable and good. Imagine the people who like a lot of people who can't understand English and just you know suddenly we speak in their language. That would be really cool. Well, I remember when they first kind of released it and they were they obviously gave it to Mr. beast as like one of the very very early people to to use it and you know he was sawing a massive ROI because most of his audience well not I say most of plenty of his audience were in Spanish so they were trying out his you know doing his videos in Spanish because he actually has all of the different channels in the different languages and stuff like that but now he doesn't need to can just upload to the one channel but are they your videos that you were trying to send your dad or just just in general different videos that you've seen around the Yeah.
Uh what is also interesting on that he mentioned Mr. Beast mentioned uh he mentions in a podcast I think what is it called like um the the the podcast that the host it's like two hosts and it was with Zuckerberg. So there is it the Indian guy and the white guy is that air and something Samir and Samir. Yeah these two. Yeah. Yeah. So, Mr. Beast says for his short videos especially, he tries to make videos in which he doesn't need to speak because the moment he starts to speak in any language, the the drop is crazy in viewership. But if he makes the videos in a format in which he doesn't need to explain or speak at all, people tend to watch it.
for example, he has that uh those videos where he's running with bags of money and he doesn't talk at all. He's not like explaining anything. He just literally showing it because a lot of a lot more people just watch these videos otherwise they they just scroll by. Crazy. Crazy. I mean, it's just it's just an audience thing, isn't it? Like I think most of my audience are US again. That could just be because I'm UK, you know, British. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because they like your accent. Yeah. But Mr. Beast, you know, if he's if he's putting out content, they are so it's so good to them that they will just watch it and translate. Do you know what I mean?
So, he's got the data to make that thing. Whereas, I don't have the volume to like commit to re-uploading my videos on Sammy. Yes. You know what I mean? Sam Sam Espanola. Yeah. He has uh like teams that do his videos. Like teams. You don't even need to do that anymore. AI is doing it. You know what I mean? You've got you've got um I think even this maybe Streamyard, which we what we're using right now. I think it automatically dubs it, but I've got V as well, which automatically dubs what I'm doing. I might just I might just upload a random video in uh Spanish or something like that. See how it does. Yeah.
Cool. Um, let's go to an ad break and we will be right back. Support for this episode comes from Flowbase. If you are building in Web Flow, Framer or Figma, Flowbase can help you build much faster.

All right, that's it. Let's continue with the show. Cheers, Flowbase. Um, I never know if that's going to just cut back to us or whether I need to do something, but I was going to change the layout so we jump right back into the uh thing, but now we know. Um, 2.5 going on general availability, which basically means it is production ready, baby. Um, and by Oh, actually I actually got this up, but uh where I I did a video um on this or something and during the video making the video I know DeepS have overtaken Opus.
What was mental? It was like who I mean 2.5 is clearing the bar pretty heftily and Deep Sea are scraping it. So this is this is definitely one of is something I want to be uh looking into. But you know given that we are talking about Gemini here, the preview 0605 model is just the latest. This was just the you know I guess beta preview type of thing. But um yeah, and it also means that Flash is also on general availability which is awesome. Get it in your apps and all that kind of stuff. Um and they also released a new 2.5 flash light on public preview which is like an even faster sort of you know even faster basically uh good for like summarization responsive chat applications and data extraction things like that.
So it's uh it's very much uh oh sorry I'm reading the wrong one here. It's ideal for classification, translation, intelligent routting, basically just costsensitive, high-scale application sort of things. So really a really nice suite of of products here. And I know what you're going to say. You just want one. You just want one. Well, let me tell you this. Yesterday I tried Gemini app on my phone. like the Google Gemini app on my iPhone and it was super cool like the vision. It was awesome. So I turned it on and I was like what is this? And it she was like these are dirty dishes. I was like no no no no not these. Ignore these.
What is so I was like showing some stuff in my kitchen that I were not sure uh like what they are or like what they are called in German and sometimes I didn't know what they are called in English you know one of the languages is always lacking so it was really cool so we were just talk like I was actually using it I wasn't just like trying to I was like okay what what is this and what can I do with it because I just had a lot of like stuff that my mom leaves in my house and I didn't know what to do with them. I was like, "What are these?" Like, you know, some seeds and I don't know.
Uh anyway, so I had fun and and then it would go quiet. Uh one thing that was funny, it was always trying to be very helpful to the point that I felt like it's annoying. I was like, "No, just let me ask you and then stop with this like trying to push the conversation with asking me a question like at the end of everything that she was saying was asking it for like something else." Anyway, I was using it so it was pretty cool. But at some point uh that I was like cleaning the kitchen, the conversation changed. So uh from talking about the kitchen, we were talking about uh Alpha Century this the you know the nearest uh star system and we're uh and then I was talking about like the exact Yeah, sure.
Uh how many how many stars are there? Let me ask my Gemini. What you mean how many stars are there? Yeah. So it actually there are like three stars in Alpha Century and it's a three star star system and it's you know these stars are three it's called threebody problem. Have you heard of it? Mhm. Yeah. So we were talking about this. So it was really cool like having vision but at the same time talk about something else. I really enjoyed it and it's a bit like the movie her. Not going to lie. It is good like yeah I think it's it really helps when you just get lost in it when you overcome the kind of um anxiety I guess of you know obviously speaking to a machine but if you can get into it it's actually really really helpful really really helpful but but something that I also noticed that kind of this um idea of if it's if you know that you're talking to an machine or to a I feel like there is some level of rigidness both in check and also in Gemini that I was trying yesterday like I I was trying to you know make fun of it in a way or like be playful like you know how you tease your friends when you talk right I don't know like I know you do sure you just you know have fun with the conversation you tease and there is this rigidness with the with these these models like you definitely still feel like okay that's not a person.
It's very smart. It tells me about things in my kitchen but also stars in Alpha Century but it's still rigid. Two very very you know symbiotic things there. Exactly. It's good. We um we have a we have a question here basically. Is it available in cursor yet? 2.5. This is 2.5 Pro. Yes, it is available in cursor. They basically I think yesterday they made the 0506 or you know 0605 whatever it is. The last release is the same release that's available on uh you know is they're just pointing all to the basically the the the same release just so things don't break basically. But you can um you can set it as I actually don't know.
I haven't I haven't looked at it but you I think you can pretty much just leave it as the 0506 model. So, it's good to go in cursor. So, yeah. Um, yeah. And I realized as well that I get pro I get Gemini Pro on my Workspace plan. So, because I use Google Workspace for all my emails and things like that. I didn't realize I could get pro. We'll talk about that. Uh, how much you use AI with your emails or like Yeah. Yeah. Well, let's just quickly look at the pricing um because it is pretty good. So, Gemini 2.5 Pro is $125 in 10 out. Um and they get, you know, they start to give you I guess maybe it's like discounts here.
Um I haven't looked into the other prices, but you know, just for a million just because that's you know, what we what we um what we generally tend to use. Uh flash um is 30 cents to in and then 250 out. And then flash uh preview. Oh, where's where's flash lights? Here we go. Flash light is like five z uh 50 in and then text out is two. Oh no, here it is. Yeah, 10 in and then four out. 40 cents outwards. So, um pretty pretty reasonable. Still pretty reasonable. I think for the performance to price ratio, it's crazy. Absolutely crazy. Like it's inarguable. Um especially again when you look at that leaderboard here, Deep Seek overtaking Opus.
To be fair, I I want to I want to dig into Opus even more now because you know the these are they're voted and people generally like this is this has got less votes than that and you know as it starts to average out maybe it will you know switch around a little bit but it's it they got to suit most coding styles. You know the the Pro just might not suit your coding style. And I have a feeling I'm more of an Opus guy than Gemini 2.5 Pro which is kind of annoying. Maybe I've just got expensive taste. I don't know. Maybe I'm just a bit bougie. But I've been using 2.5 Pro today and I'm like h and I, you know, I'm there's a basic problem that I'm trying to tackle and I feel like Opus can just sort it out.
But it's um yeah, it's it's an exciting world. It's exciting world. Were you going to say anything else by the way? I felt like we were you were about to say something and um No, we we keep we have it in the docs. We keep it for the end. I show Dia and how I use Dia to save some money. Oh, okay. Do you want to chat about that? Well, um I mean we have it we have it at the end of our doc. I don't know if you want to go. Let's go as you know per your plan and then at the end I'll I'll show you. Cool. Well, um I was going to talk about Jules, but it's a very very quick update.
Um basically, I really like Jewels. Do you remember Jules? Did you watch my Jules video? Not sure actually. Uh you did talk about it, but I don't remember to be honest. Basically, it's a background. It's like codeex. It's a background coding agent that you can just give it a task and it will just do it for you in the background and then create you create a pull request and it's done. So, it's really kind of cool if you're on your phone or whatever, you can just be like, "Oh, I've noticed a bug." And then you just send it off to do its thing. So, all all the update here, like I've been using it, definitely been using it for little bits and bobs here and there.
Um, they've increased, and this is a free tool, remember, this is free tool. They've increased the amount you can use it to 60 tasks a day. was five when it was in beta and they've increased it to 60 which is just how like how can anyone compete with Google when they're just literally just giving us all of this stuff. I also well actually a separate subject but I won't go into it but like um it's it's just insane that we get to have all of these amazing tools and you asked me last week is there a company more hated than Facebook? Yeah, I was nearly going to say Google, but I feel like I don't know, maybe maybe I'm just in my own head, but like they are they they seem to be completely eradicating the fact that they are an a massive conglomerate company, like literally just ramming adverts and collecting data down our throats.
And I wonder if they've they're changing their ways a little bit and they're seeing the the future that isn't in data. I don't know. What do you think? I I think a lot of the good things that we know about the internet today uh we are in a way owe it to Google. They figured out the how AdSense works in general, right? There were they were not the first uh search engine but they were the kind of like the first who figured out how can we um be profitable and just grow and they figured it out using you know AdSense. So I know we all hate ads but at the same time we have YouTube which is like amazing right?
So we I think we might hate Google or like I don't but a lot of people might hate Google for a few reasons. one is collecting data, but at the same time they they give something back, right? They have a lot of free tools that are you could argue that are really good for humanity and it's really hard to argue against it like YouTube. But with Facebook, they collect your data, they sell it just like in how Google does it, but they don't return anything really good, you know, to humanity. They they give you Facebook which is you know uh used to make you angry. They give you Instagram to kill a lot of your time.
They give you WhatsApp. Uh they collect your data there. I know they have like end to end uh encryption but they still know who are you con contacting. They still know what uh links you are opening. So they still know a lot of things. They don't don't know literally what you are saying to your friends but they know a lot of the context of like things that you are doing. So, Facebook is hated because of that and also because Mark has multiple times like tried to sell us something else like the idea of that he's pro privacy and that they are not you know misusing data and we've seen not just once but again and again and again that he is just he just doesn't truly care.
It's just not he doesn't have it. It's not like in his moral code of conduct to care about these things because it's happening like throughout the past what two decades. It's not like uh he's changing he changed his branding for sure but they just stole a lot of books uh for their LLM. So knowingly you know. Yeah. Yeah. That's so true. Google Google are giving back whereas Facebook do not seem to give anything back much at all for what for there is another reason why people don't like Google that much and that uh also something that Google doesn't give back it's that they kill products they come up with a lot of products also to see it from that position it's a huge company they build a lot of products that are very open about it it's not like Apple ne you ever know what they are working on with Google you know it there are leaks but then they also publish it and then they just kill it because it's it's not profitable or you know whatever not their focus you don't see that with Apple right uh that's why you you don't see like new tools that you try and then you know get killed um arc there is there is stuff that Apple have killed though like yeah I mean they they killed the air charger Yeah, that never came up.
Came up. Yeah. Um I had something in my mind then about uh but I forgot. What did they kill? Like what did Apple kill? Didn't they there was a Lisa there was like an there was a a computer like I mean Steve Jobs famously came in and just killed all of these computers and and whatever like um there was um there was an Apple phone they did with Motorola that they killed. I mean they are a hardware company at the end of the day so it comes across slightly different but this one but it's like products that you discontinue that are hardware it's like LG for example that broke my heart that they you know decided to not continue with their mobile um you know department I still have I I still own an LG your poor heart it's just on the ups and downs isn't it first you're in love then you're not in love now you're in love again with Dia And now phone broke your heart.
Your heart is just in pieces right now. Gosh. Yeah, man. Um, yeah. The browser company broke my heart with Arc, but they are giving us DM. So, I'll Everything's good. Everything's good. What I what I was going to say and I'm I hate to sound like the the capitalist pig that I am, but if it was your money and you were paying for server usage, you were paying and you were inevitably losing money on a product and it was like what? So you're you have to support this product just because you release it. You have to support it. Like what was that? A bark? What did you just do then? No, it was just my phone.
No, it was your butt your or something. Anyway, whatever. I'll show you. This is one of those like that. Um, what is it? Had a back that you could Oh, remember those days? Remember those days? You could just carry an extra battery with you. Yeah, removable battery. And I think this was like I think this is like peak of uh phone design because this has this kind of like arc so thin. Yeah. And it's no camera bump. This arc shape and the the buttons are at the Oh, I remember those. Yeah. And they're where your fingers like naturally sit. It's very comfortable. And this is real leather. I actually hold my phone like this. So they're not it's not really for me if I'm holding my phone like that.
So So I I don't know. I really I really love this design. This is amazing product design. They had also LG Glex. So LG G Flex was very similar to this, but the screen was literally following an arc. It was bent and and it was like amazing. I had it in my hand. It was amazing to hold in your hand because you know your hand it's just like it sits in the on the palm of your hand but it's not I remember they were just so comfy whereas yeah I think um I think this is the peak I uh I'm just texting a friend because they're like texting me and stuff. I'm just like I'm kind of busy right now.
But um yeah, they were good. Good old days. And now we're convinced that having this boxy I mean I do like it mine but this boxy number is um you know it's good. Um anyway I wouldn't go going back to the whole Apple Google killing products like if this is just the way the world works and if it was your money you would you would kill off these products as well you know and if they didn't have those they wouldn't have the evolution. If we didn't have Google circles, then we probably wouldn't have V3. I don't know. That's that's a bit of a bit of a stretch there, but you know what I mean. But no, I I completely agree.
I understand. Like, if it's not profitable, they got to kill it. So, design and dev is changing forever now. I'm very excited about this next one. And I'm surprised you didn't bring it up, to be honest. I'm surprised I was the one that had to go and find it. Uh the which one? The Figma dev MCP. Figma Figma MCP server. Like this is incredible. Um I've got a video. I've recorded the video. It's coming out next week. Uh maybe next week. I don't know. But like this was just so good. Like it beats it beats make because you can actually I mean do you know what MCP servers are? Do you know what do you know what the Yeah.
Do you know what they are? Yeah. Yeah. It's basically allowing LLMs to use um another service kind of like it's like APIs for LLMs. Yeah. Yeah. And it determines for LLM MC we are throwing a lot of let's let's dumb it down a little bit. So you can use natural language like a prompt and the the edit the your cursor wind surf whatever will figure out that you want to do something in Figma. So, um, where is it here? Get code from Figma and implement this file. He's I don't know how he's doing this. I tried doing this yesterday, but, uh, I don't know how he's doing all of this. But basically, uh, I go nuts in my video.
I go nuts. I say, "Can you get the design and put it in this file, and it will just again just the LLM figures out that you're talking about a Figma?" and it runs a tool call to get the the selected frame that you have and then pulls it in and makes it as code. And obviously you can go as narrow as possible. You can you can get a button that has different variants or you can go to a whole page and just bring in a whole page and it will build the code. And you know it's 90% there, probably 95% there. Like it's never going to be perfect. Well, it might be perfect soon, but like it's not perfect all the time, but it's pretty gosh darn great.
And I can just say go get me the variables and it will pull in all and this is where it comes in very powerful is that you pull in all your it pulls in all the variables. And the beauty of natural language and LLMs and stuff like that is that you pull in the LL uh pull in the variables and I tell it to make them into Tailwind for variables. So yes, it could pull in those things and make them CSS variables or whatever. But now I'm adding the extra layer of complexity and saying well give me tailwind make them Tailwind or make them SAS make them less you know all this sort of stuff.
So this I feel like more people need to it's in beta but I think more people need to hear about this. I I I watched this live stream yesterday. I was like holy crap like how is no one really told me about this? And I even went to uh Figma Figma MCP uh YouTube. There's barely any videos about it. So, like this is crazy that you got maybe Oh, there's Usler. Um, you got Gary Simon's video here which he released two two weeks ago was doing pretty well four days ago. No one's released any content on it and it's just like what? This is crazy and more people need to know about this. Is your team using this?
No. But I think this is because a lot of people are scared of AI and especially like designers like scared in the sense that but this is not to do with this has nothing to do with the technical designers don't use cursor right but this is not this is not for designers it's for developers yeah that's what I wanted to ask like is there a way to also reverse it is for designers yeah reverse it to to to do something in yeah to Not yet. MCP MCP is one way. It's not like an API thing. It's like Well, I say it's one way. It's like the data like Yeah, it's only serves one purpose either way.
It's not not like a reversible thing. Um, so there probably will be a way, but then you've got Go on. Sorry. Do do you think there would be like a way to for web flow as or like a web flow app to integrate that in web flow because web flow already has this uh Figma to web flow app. Do you think this like having an MCP will help with that? Like being able from using the I don't know maybe the web flow app using just uh natural language to tell it to what to import. Well, Web Flow need to implement what I mean, let me just get it up here. Um, why is that there?
So, Web Flow needs to implement what services it can actually it can actually do, the things it can actually do, right? Share screen. Um, I think this good. Um, and if I go to my settings here, I do all this on the video. See, why do you even Why? There's no need to watch my videos anymore because I'll just do it all here. But, uh, we go here. Oh, it's just loading now. Look, loading tools. Come on now. Come on, baby. Basically, oh, just go to this one. Look, you can kind of see what's going on here. So, magic magic UI design. These are my like top picks for MCP servers, by the way, guys.
Uh, get UI components. get components. You can kind of get an idea of what it does. And as far in answer to your question, as far as I understand, Web Flow have only implemented um making changes to the database uh CMS as as far I haven't I haven't jumped into the MCP for web flow, but I guess you're again thinking can we create components and things like that, right? Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Well, they need they would need to implement that. they would actually need to implement the ability to do so. Um, sorry, I'm getting excited. I need a drink. Um, but this I think this is for developers, not for designers, for developers. This is so good.
This is so so good. And um, yeah, I I think it's uh the game changer because the idea is I think people maybe struggle um because the good thing is is I don't need to leave cursor. I can just make all these tool calls and you can you can have we're getting into MCP land right now, but like I can make searches. I can search the internet. I can do everything. Wind actually this is news. Windsurf just released a browser. So you can literally browse the internet inside of Windsurf. And as a again this is just purely developer stuff. As a developer it's great that I don't need to leave my IDE. It's great that I don't need to and I can just get my information all from in here because chat bots are just are just winning.
Do you know what I mean? Like it's a very that's why chat GBT got so big because it's such a it's just a normal way to uh to interface with the with the with the internet with data, you know. Sorry. Yeah. Um Yeah. But like don't you open your cursor with a browser anyway? like I don't under I I saw that news uh with Windsor but I don't get it like why do you need a browser there it's efficiency it's just it's just marginal gains of efficiency and actually this is something I want to figure out I I want to pose the question and like I wish I could film my desk set up right now but I find it so annoying uh mouse and keyboard right very very natural very well.
I hate jumping from mouse to keyboard to mouse to keyboard. Sometimes even just to press a shortcut then go back to my mouse. I like literally just want to stay. I just want to stay in the one place. Maybe that's where um uh who what's Lenovo made that little red nub? Remember that little red nub in the middle? Like I I think that might need to make a comeback because like I just I hate moving over to my mouse and back and forth and back and forth. It drives me nuts. So there needs to be some Or maybe it's my eyes. Maybe there's a I don't know. Scientists get on this because I'm tired of lifting up my arm.
Well, I So two things. one, I use my thumb um to to use my cursor, not for like big stuff, but if I need to just make a small change, I just use my thumb. So, my hands are on the keyboard and then my thumb is on the trackpad because I use trackpad. Trackpad. And I believe that a trackpad makes you more efficient than, you know, a mouse. I I have this mouse with like I've got a trackpad. I've got a trackpad. So maybe I need to bring that back, but it's still not my track back. Track back. Yeah. The second thing is it's Anyway, it's gonna it's not really healthy to not move. So it's really good for you to change like whatever that you do like whatever position, however you like it, it's important to change it.
Uh if you've heard of carpal tunnel I I I believe it's called it's it happens because your fingers stay in this for example position or like when you type in this position for long. It happens to piano players as well. This happens when you don't stretch your fingers like you need to not just like completely stretch it but also like backwards try to do like this type of um movements. So this won't happen because it happened to me. Uh, and it's going to be very painful. So, you got to be careful. Move like move as much as you can. Yeah, it's uh it's definitely I mean Yeah, but I mean I just that's just tiresome.
Definitely definitely tiresome. It's But I get I get the need for that knob to to come back. Yeah, I was a fan of it. Um, what of the trackpad or the m? No, the the knob. The the red knob in Lenovo. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's nice. It's nice. Listen, we got I've got a hard stop. So, unless you want to carry the show on the road after I'm gone, we got to we got to move on. So, um Sam Alman has been on a few podcasts. I got to get my notes back up now. Sam Alman's been on a bit few podcasts and he's he's been he's been laying off a few little little bits and bobs here or there.
You know how vaguen I sound. Basically, he's he's anticipating GBT 5 this summer on this I think it was podcast which is he's saying that this will be the be all and end all to all of the stupid versions that they have 03 04 4.1 4.5 01 all this kind of stuff. He's saying it's the end. It's going to be the end of all that and GBT5 will be the one that will just fix it will work out basically whether it needs to go heavy or go hard basically which is really interesting. Um he was also on a podcast with his oh this was this is his brother. So he's on this podcast uh uncapped with Jack Alman which is his brother and then he went on this one which is OpenAI's own podcast.
So, they've launched their own podcast, which could be quite interesting. Straight from the water's mouth, as it were. I just I just I had to listen to these podcasts and I just I hate Sam Alman's voice. I'm sorry. He when he when he's when he loses energy does this vocal fry thing and I'm just like, "Oh my god, just put some energy into your voice." Um anyway, off off track. Um he also alluded to better self-drive technology. So all the cameras and stuff like that, the liar that Teslas have, he's claiming that they've or alluding to not claiming alluding to that they've figured out a way to do it with just normal cameras like no liar, no anything like that, which would be very interesting.
They he didn't suggest that they were going to release this, but as a company, you've got to and this is really exciting to think about really, but as a company internally, you've got to innovate or you've got to conceptualize things uh from all walks of life because as you might know, I don't know, I love attaching myself to anything creative because I can go out, look at a brutalist architecture building and say, well, the way they did that or what they're trying to do here, the whether It's the mentality of like efficiency applying that to like code or like you know lighting and photography. What point is is that it seems like they're playing around with this technology and and it helps in other areas whether they release it or not.
But this idea that they've got potentially better self-drive technology or they figured it out sort of thing. It's really really interesting. I'm on the LAR team. So you're on the lidar team. Well, I mean, I think it's not to say that we should replace liar with cameras. It's to say that this is uh an addition to or like this could just lead to something else. Basically, it could lead to well, he spoke specifically about robots as well. Um very he thinks we'll have very capable robots walking around in the next 5 to 10 years. Now, whether you could put liars in robots might be kind of what I'm alluding to right now, but maybe they just need cameras.
Maybe tiny little robots just can fit in cameras. So, but they figured out how to do it. Do you know what I mean? So, absolutely like you're not going to be able to beat LiDAR, you know, especially in like military and things like that. But, um yeah, so yeah, robots in the next five to 10 years. And we also got clarity on Zuck's was it nine or 10 figure offer? Yeah, I believe it was nine figures which so Alman said that it was specifically to members of um Open AI who refused it and it was a it was a hundred million for as a signing bonus. So, it wasn't necessarily a salary and interpret that how you will.
Like whether I don't know. I've never had a bon I've never had a signing on bonus. But is a signing on bonus less than a salary? I don't know. I can't imagine it to. But but yeah, and Olman was like, well, you know, he he's he's trying hard. He's going all in on it, but that's not the best way to build a culture is to just throw money at this stuff. So, um, there was a bit of slack talk from from Altman, uh, towards Zuckerberg there because I do I do think people really enjoy working at OpenAR. I think they intentionally have a very small team. I think they're only like I don't know, maybe even less than 200 people or 100 people or something like that.
They he tries to keep it really small. Uh, but I've also heard he's got a tyrannical leadership style. But there you go. Um because did you see the Sam Alman files or the Open AI files that went out this morning? I didn't I started reading them and I was like what is this? Like it's just it feels like it's just like clutching at straws on talking about open AI but anyway there's that. Suppose that's news but not particularly interesting for web. So yeah um it's very much like the show again the Silicon Valley show. Ah yeah yeah yeah oh are you sharing your screen h uh we'll share yeah so I was about to go to talk about the next thing so it's also related to Figma I almost forgot to share this uh Christian shared this with me this week Christian payload is joining Figma uh payload is um a backend I I think they do like back oh their CMS MS isn't it or something like that.
Did I read this? The back end to build the modern web. So this is very interesting like mixing this with the you know the MCP that they have because I think the MCP is also really useful to update like huge databases you know using natural language you can just do a lot of you know updates um take your database and do whatever with it. So Figma just uh bought them buying up. See, they've got to they've got to get some sort of head start on their Figma sites cuz they said CMS is coming, right? Yeah. And this is interesting that they announced Figma sites and they showed the CMS a little bit and they said it's coming, but they bought this company afterwards.
Or maybe it's just being announced now. For sure. They've been talking or like in contact for some time, but whatever it is. Yeah, and their site is pretty cool. I see what you mean about the Silicon Valley thing because it's about announcing things before I mean it's not rocket science adding a CMS. So, I think it's pretty fair to announce they're not innovating anything like Apple are doing like innovating but then making those promises before they even know how they're going to do them. Yeah, it's pretty cool. How do you think they did? Is that a video on the background there of that website? The video? Uh, I haven't checked it actually. If it's a video, it looks like a video.
It's not responsive. Uh, but it might be a shader. Uh, it's probably hard to find right now. Yeah. Uh, I hope it's a shader. It's not like a video because it can be a very light shader or something like this, but I don't know. I'll I'll check that out later. As you see, I'm showing this website using Dio. I'm slowly making the change. And this is the last thing I want to talk about. Quite literally, DIA saved me 66 uh euros um in a refund. So, you know, when you sign up for betas, not for betas, you know, when you sign up for um what is it called? Ah, sorry, I had it here. You know when you sign up for a free trial and then you forget to cancel it.
They ask you for your credit card, they don't they don't charge you, but they charge you later. You forget like a like a Sometimes they charge you like a scent or something like that, right? Yeah. So I it happened to me in the past that I get charged and I go and just cancel it or just block that company from PayPal or something so they don't charge you again because sometimes I don't know who charged me like what app was it. I don't remember. I don't bother going into like 10 different you know apps and trying to figure out where did my 20 uh euro goes. But this time it was 66 and I was like, you know what?
I want to play with Dia and try if uh to see if I can get a requ u if I can get a refund. So, and this is where DIA really shines. So, to share my how how can I do this? Okay. Yeah. Go to this one. Go to this one. Exactly. So, here you see Dia and this is how I used it. So I was like, if I'm going to email and request for a refund, I have to do it and then come back to it and it will probably take some emails. So I opened the tab India and I just asked I said write a refund um because it had the context of the email that I was charged right so it just wrote it and then you just press insert.
So the way it works, I can say write uh follow up. It just writes it takes the context of this tab and then I can just insert it. Boom. So that's really cool. And I did that and I got back from I uh they replied to me. I didn't bother reading most of it. So I just look through it and I just prompt like a very short you know sentence to yeah continue with the cancellation continue with uh refund and they kind of they didn't completely work but kind of like ghosted me for a day or so I don't know they were really fast to to reply but then they cancelled but they didn't refund me.
they stopped at the cancellation and I I was like no no no I don't want to stop at the cancellation I want also a refund they sent me the a tab uh they sent me a link about their policy like refund policy so obviously I open this and I come back here and I I can just take this refund policy tab and now I have this as the context yeah yeah right write to follow up. I want my refund. I didn't use the tool, please. And I mean, they were nice. They gave me the refund, but all of this happened with like minimum effort in typing and also minimum effort in thinking because all of I didn't have to like re really read or like look at the details.
And most importantly, what is like the big point for me is I don't have to go to to chat GPT app or like their tab and change the like this is not the only thing I do throughout the day. Yeah. Surprise, right? I I I do different things. So I like I change the tabs in OpenAI. But with this, I don't have to change tabs in 20 different places. I only need to come back to this tab. All the context is still in here. And I just continue prompting until I get what I want. And this to me is like an aha moment, a wow moment. I'm like truly like I know we talked about in the past weeks.
I'm falling in love with this. Like the idea is actually working now because I really like what I'm seeing. I went on and I you know uh I I stalk a lot of people like I found this guy he's uh the product designer at DIA browser and I was like literally searching the app browser vertical tabs and I found this video. So vertical tabs are coming to DIA not as a default which I I it's fine I accept this it's but it's coming. So one thing that I would love to see in DIA, I don't know where I saw it as as if it's a concept or it's if it's uh something that they are planning on is tabs that you can nest and holy that makes sense like this request for a refund and this uh refund policy.
It makes sense to have them nested like in a folder type of way, but it's not a folder. It's just this is in results of going here. So nested tabs and vertical tabs. Please add them and um yeah I'm looking forward to it. They have also this the strategy behind Diaz's design. It's a blog post. Uh, I even thought about like making a video on just reading this through because I just through it and it looked very interesting like how they think about integrating AI because as you see 2,000 like different apps are trying to add each a button an AI button inserted in whatever context you are working uh with and it's it's getting like really busy.
What I really like is this approach that they are taking and if they can nest things because I don't like this grouping the way it is. I can't nest them. I don't know. Can I? No, I can't nest them. I want to put them together. Group them. And then you have your context windows like I don't know what call like context groups. Yeah, it totally makes sense at least to me. So yeah. Yeah. Very cool. I want auto browse. I want auto browse. So, I want to be able to action things on multiple or or even singular tabs. But, um, but it's cool. I'm glad you I'm glad you're converted. I know. Yeah. I know you also or at least you see the opportunity rather not necessarily convert, but you see see the opportunity here.
I see like if I could work with this company, I would. That's how much I believe in this. like I I truly it it feels like that magical aha moment that it it should have been this way. It should it shouldn't be chat GPT as a separate tab. Yeah. And I kid you not, I'm not saying this as like just to you know as a boss. I truly think this can replace chat GPT altogether for me like to to cancel the subscription and never use it. Like why do I need chat GPT for? I know that like you want to store stuff. If Adia can give me like somewhere where I can see my projects or like store them maybe we store them in tabs but just as the chat and not the the websites.
It's going to be a productivity machine. Yeah. I don't need chat GPT. I don't need to go to chat GPT and you know scroll down to find some an email that I was talking about like a week ago and the search doesn't work half of the time and it's slow I it's just not it this integration I truly love it. Um, but on the browser thing that you said, like browsing thing, I get that as well, like agenting, right? because I just texted my brother with a list of shopping list but I was I talked to Chat GPT and I asked it to browse a specific supermarket and find a few like specific products that I want because I I didn't have time to go and do it manually and to make sure my brother browser my uh brother get the right products chpt did it so if that comes here with like you know conversational and browsing That would be like really cool.
Yeah. Yeah. Listen, I've got a hard stop on that bombshell. Um yeah, I'm I'm into it. I'm into it. I've got to go. I've got a weekend ahead of me. Cheers for tuning in everyone. Um and yeah, keep on vibing. Peace out.
