Episode notes
AIbox Added Video Models And Expanded To 78 Models
- Jaeden Schafer announced AIbox.ai added video models including SeedDance, Google VO2/3Fast/3, OpenAI Sora 2/2 Pro, and Pixiverse V5.
- He notes the platform now has 78 models, video support, and subscriptions at $8.99/month with 20% off annual plans.
Google Turns Data Advantage Into Personal Intelligence
- Google is widening Gemini's personal intelligence to all US users and embedding it across Search, Gemini app, and Chrome AI mode.
- Jaeden Schafer explains it's off by default but will use Gmail and Google Photos to personalize responses, creating a data moat advantage.
Default Off Is Better For Personal AI Opt In
- Keep personalization off by default and let users opt in to using Gmail and Photos for AI context, as Google has done.
- Jaeden Schafer praises this approach because not everyone wants automatic AI access to personal email and photos.
