Is Google search cooked? + We get an American crypto reserve? + What you vibecodert


    This week, Google introduced a new way to search, which could mean that Googling as we know it is on its way. It is called AI mode and it is essentially the company's answer to the growing number of people who used AI chatbots instead of Google Search.

    We walk on what this new product looks like, who can use it and what it could mean for the future of the internet. Then we talk to the New York Times Crypto reporter David Yaffe-Bellany about President Trump's recent announcement about a national crypto reserve and why the news disrupted some of the greatest crypto proponents. Finally, we respond to voicemail from listeners who describe the tools they have played.
