OLGA(38:06) You have to tell it that that's what you want. Yeah, I thought that HTML is literally um for like nice I don't know. It's like it's like China, like nice china, you know, like when the guests come over, you get your best china out. So like I thought HTML is there. Like I don't want to waste my tokens and I want to, you know, like be all thrifty and use MG files and read them. But the truth is they're so boring to read and the data just like keeps hiding in there. And so that one post that I read, I went and I gave myself permission to start looking at my data differently. And it my whole thing like it just like my brain exploded with what I could do with it. And I'm going to talk to you guys what that means. And hopefully you will take me up on this and start talking to your data the way kind of Tariq talked about. Clearly 12 million views of the article. It's not just a niche thing anymore. Like there's a lot of people interested in this stuff. and I just went in and just kind of dove in and tried it.

✗ CUT THIS (filler / tangent)
- "um for like nice I don't know" — filler at start of metaphor
- "It's like it's like" — duplicated phrase
- "like when the guests come over, you get your best china out" — over-explains, the metaphor lands without it
- "and I want to, you know, like be all thrifty and use MG files and read them" — slows arc
- "And I'm going to talk to you guys what that means" — meta, breaks the story
- "the way kind of Tariq talked about" — names Tariq, viewer doesn't know him
- "Clearly 12 million views of the article" — that detail belongs in Short 2, not here
- "It's not just a niche thing anymore. Like there's a lot of people interested in this stuff" — closing filler
- "and I just went in and just kind of dove in and tried it" — flat ending
✓ KEEP THIS (the story spine)
- "I thought that HTML is literally like nice China" — the metaphor
- "I don't want to waste my tokens" — the old belief
- "the truth is they're so boring to read and the data just like keeps hiding in there" — the realization
- "I went and I gave myself permission to start looking at my data differently" — the turn

OLGAI thought HTML was like nice china. You bring it out for special occasions. I didn't want to waste my tokens. So I used boring markdown files for everything.
OLGABut the truth is — they're so boring to read. The data just keeps hiding in there.
OLGASo I gave myself permission to look at my data differently. And my brain exploded with what I could do with it.

OLGA(36:21) Let's dive deeply. So uh the deep dive for this week we um this this uh you know how I always say come to the show even if you get one idea out of this to execute it's worth your time and so what happened with me last week it was I think it was Friday after the show I I came across the um the the uh the post on X by Tariq I hope I pronounced his name correctly and so I think he's in development and cloud development code And basically he uh he posted this um he posted the uh the the tweet.
(37:02) CHRIS was an article.
(37:04) OLGA Uh it was an article. Okay. Uh hold on.
(37:06) CHRIS I think it's got four and a half million
(37:10) OLGA Well, no, the article itself has 12 uh it has 12 point
(37:15) CHRIS Oh, lord.
(37:15) OLGA uh million views. Anyway, and so I was I I actually just read at first just like um he talks about how he stopped using uh MD files and he only uses HTML files. And first I was like, "Oh, well that's interesting conversation because Chris and I just talked how HTML is the easiest language for AIS to understand." So I wasn't even thinking about it. But as I started reading it, I was like, "Wait a second. This guy who is like pretty high up in Claude is not reading MG files anymore." And I don't know about you, but now that I'm working with uh in in cloud CLI, that's pretty much all my, you know, AI rights, unless I tell it specifically to do either um like a word doc for me to review or uh if I need to uh do like some really fancy HTML for like the presentation for the show. It's not just a niche thing anymore. Like there's a lot of people interested in this stuff.

END at (07:48) — search exact line: "No one takes it seriously. Haha."
OLGA(05:44) So news number two, uh we talked about Apple um iOS 27. what they're releasing and this is this was the leak in uh I believe it was in Bloom Bloom Bloomberg. Um so basically what they released and the gossip is and it's pretty accurate from what I understand is that Apple is turning your iPhone into a fantasy sports team for AI. So you assemble a roster of specialized models for specific tasks. So Claude will be for writing, Gemini for images, your call. So you'll be able to pick whatever AI a AI company you want to work with specific apps and uh it even will have a different voice. So based on kind of what you want.
(06:48) CHRIS I think what we could see is your, you know, instead of your home screen having a bunch of apps on it, it might have three things on it. It would have your Claude connection, your Gemini connection, and maybe your Grock connection, let's just say, and you would talk to one of the you would talk to your phone. It would recognize which one you want to use, and then you would engage in a conversation with it.
(07:32) OLGA Yeah. They're they're calling this thing is called it's called extensions. So they're decentralizing the intelligence of the iPhone instead of Siri trying to do everything. Uh and usually not doing a good job. I don't know when was the last time you actually use Siri.
(07:45) CHRIS Nobody takes it seriously.
(07:47) OLGA No one takes it seriously. Haha.

- "So news number two, uh we talked about Apple um iOS 27. what they're releasing and this is this was the leak in uh I believe it was in Bloom Bloom Bloomberg" — show-format intro + Bloomberg fumble
- "Um so basically what they released and the gossip is and it's pretty accurate from what I understand" — hedging, slows the punch
- "So you'll be able to pick whatever AI a AI company you want to work with specific apps and uh it even will have a different voice. So based on kind of what you want" — wanders
- Chris's full hypothetical ("instead of your home screen having a bunch of apps on it, it might have three things on it...") — interesting but slows the punch. Trim to one short line if kept at all.
- "Yeah. They're they're calling this thing is called it's called extensions" — stammering
