No one goes to Hank's for his spreadsheets. They go for a darn good pizza. Lately though, the shop's been quiet. So Hank decides to bring back the $1 slice. He asks Copilot in Microsoft Excel to look at his sales and costs, help him see if he can afford it. Copilot shows Hank where the money's going, and which little extras make the dollar slice work. Now Hank says, I'll line out the door. Hank makes the pizza, Copilot handles the spreadsheets. Learn more at m365copilot.com/work.

Coming up next, Jeff Jarvis and I dig into Meta launching its own branded $299 Smart Glasses. That's right. No Ray-Ban, no Oakley on those. But they do have Kylie Jenner. Very interesting. Google losing two top AI researchers in one week. DeepMind investing $75 million into the film studio A24, just a huge fan of A24. Very curious about that. Plus my new favorite Vibe-Coded website, and it plays Major League Baseball games in real time, using 8-bit Nintendo pixel art in the browser. I'm not even a huge fan of baseball, and I love this site. You got to check it out. That's coming up next on this episode of the AI Inside Podcast.
Hello, everybody, and welcome to another episode of AI Inside, the podcast where we take a look at the AI that is layered throughout the world of technology. I'm one of your hosts, Jason Howell. Jeff Jarvis is the other. It is good to see you, Jeff. Oh, you've got your hat. I forgot about that. That's right.
Jeff Jarvis has the AI Inside hat with an embroidered logo, which makes it just a little bit more fancy. I can't do it because I'm wearing headphones, but...

**Jeff Jarvis** (2:27)
Or you just have a very big head.

**Jason Howell** (2:28)
Oh, let me just tell you, this is going to sell hats right here. Wearing it on top of my headphones, so it makes you look like you got a big head. Looks good, man.

**Jeff Jarvis** (2:36)
Yeah, it's good. It's a nice hat.

**Jason Howell** (2:38)
And I actually, I ended up, because I had to order a couple, because I was like, I got to quality test these things. I ended up getting a shirt and it's tall, like it's long enough. You know, I'm a very tall person. It's totally long enough. And the quality of the shirt is really nice. A very comfortable fabric.

**Jeff Jarvis** (2:53)
Cool.

**Jason Howell** (2:54)
Yeah. So we, you know, we got swag.

**Jeff Jarvis** (2:56)
We got gear.

**Jason Howell** (2:57)
We got stuff. And I have a better URL now, AIinside.show slash store. Go there and it'll take you to the right place.
So you can get your own AI inside swag.

**Jeff Jarvis** (3:09)
I haven't been able to label off yet.

**Jason Howell** (3:11)
Yeah, I haven't either. Well, you know, I bet there's plenty of people that just leave that on there.

**Jeff Jarvis** (3:16)
I got to bend it up, I think.

**Jason Howell** (3:18)
I totally did.

**Jeff Jarvis** (3:19)
Just fresh out of the box.

**Jason Howell** (3:20)
I was like, okay, I'm not a flat bill person. You know, some people are, no shade, but I like to bend the bill on my hats. So, right on.

**Jeff Jarvis** (3:32)
So now when we're raring on the street, people can come and say, are you Jason?

**Jason Howell** (3:35)
Wait a minute. Oh, wait a minute, AI Insight. You're Jeff Jarvis.
You're Jeff. I'm finally meeting you. Excellent, yes.

**Jeff Jarvis** (3:45)
Now I got a hat.

**Jason Howell** (3:46)
That was a nice surprise.

**Jeff Jarvis** (3:48)
The problem is I'm looking at myself in reverse, so I can't figure out how to do my hair over that.

**Jason Howell** (3:52)
Yeah, right. Right. Do it in the opposite, then you totally mess it up. OK, well, we've got a lot to talk about, as we usually do.

**Jeff Jarvis** (4:00)
Oh, we do.

**Jason Howell** (4:02)
I'm starting to get kind of bored of the ship. I probably shouldn't say this, but I'm starting to get kind of bored with the mythos. Yeah, I do.
