Grok is in trouble again because people are adding bikinis to images without consent.

Alex Volkov opens the first live ThursdAI of the year and welcomes Ryan and Wolfram back. The room treats the return like a reset button. Listeners get reminded that they have not missed a beat. The show then frames the week as another wildly busy AI news cycle. It does not pretend the pile is small. Vera Rubin becomes the anchor topic. Nvidia's next generation is described as a step beyond Blackwell and Hopper. The conversation keeps calling these machines AI processors because that feels closer to the truth. The scale is not a laptop story. It is a rack story. The team compares the jump in performance across generations. FP8 gets unpacked as a precision level for model work. The panel uses the numbers to show why the gain matters. There is talk of a visual the host made months ago and updated with the newest details. That visual helps make the jump feel real. The mood stays excited and slightly chaotic, and that chaos keeps the recap moving. The episode works like a live group chat with actual context. It is dense, but not dry. By the end, the show has turned a messy week into a usable map for AI obsessives.
