    Apple Intelligence and OpenAI's "Strawberry" 🔴 AINTS 054

    This week, Tristan and Tasia bite into Apple's juicy new iPhone 16 lineup and watch as their AI efforts get a bit mushy in certain markets, while Google's Gemini sprouts on Android and OpenAI's "Strawberry" model tries to sweeten the deal with self-fact-checking. Then we peel back the layers on some spicy AI security concerns, from ChatGPT's illicit recipes mishap to Meta's data-hungry AI models, and explore how AI might be changing the flavor of our beliefs. Join us as we cook up an explosive smorgasbord of AI news.
