This episode is brought to you by Rise Robotics. You're probably not thinking about how hydraulics impact your everyday life, but they do. I'm talking about the forklifts that help stock your favorite stores, the delivery trucks that deliver all that ice cream to help you stay cool in this heat. Creating technology to help improve machines like those is at the heart of what Rise Robotics is all about. It's why they created the Belt Draulic. What's so fascinating about it is that it's an electric alternative to regular hydraulics, which leak and break all the time. The Belt Draulic runs cleaner, faster, and makes maintenance a breeze. Oh, and it runs three times faster and cuts fuel costs in half. And unlike shiny new gadgets coming out, Rise Robotics is giving people the unique opportunity to invest alongside big backers and institutions. That means anyone who wants can become part owners of a company originating from MIT and backed by military contracts. Working to build tech that affects industries we interact with regularly, check them out at invest.riserobotics.com.
You can read about the technology, see what they've built, and decide if becoming a part owner of this company makes sense for you. Again, that's invest.riserobotics.com.
OpenAI has signed a deal to show Getty's images in ChatGPT results. More on that coming up, but first, the Instagram for TV app is now available on Samsung TVs in the US. Instagram launched the app back in December for Amazon Fire TV devices as a way to watch reels on a bigger screen before rolling it out to Google TVs in February this year. It groups reels into channels with different topics such as music, sports and travel. So if you're with friends or family, you can find things to watch based on your common interests. You can now also watch stories from friends and creators on the TV as well. In addition, Instagram is testing two more features that it says were designed to make discovering, sharing and enjoying Instagram easier with the people around you. One of those features is the ability to cast reels from your phone or videos from the saved tab to your TV.
While the app itself was built around reels, this test feature will make it much easier to share finds you find funny or informative that you don't see in the app's channels. The second experimental feature is a dedicated home for horizontal videos, which lets you quickly find content that's better enjoyed on TVs and computers than phones.
In entertainment news, Google is investing 75 million dollars in the film studio A24, and the companies are teaming up to develop, wait for it, AI tools. Google says the partnership aims to expand what is possible in the future of entertainment. The multi-year deal doesn't give Google access to A24's library of film and television. Instead, the companies will develop tools that assist with various aspects of filmmaking. A representative from A24 told the Wall Street Journal that the tools won't look anything like the prompted generative type of AI that people feel uncomfortable with. Instead, the first application will be something that uses AI to generate storyboards. Remember, you can find the latest Gadget News, reviews, price drops, and more right now at engadget.com.

So you're saying with Hilton Honors, I can use points for a free night's stay anywhere? Anywhere.
What about fancy places like the Canopy in Paris? Yeah, Hilton Honors, baby. Or relaxing sanctuaries like the Conrad in Touloume?

**SPEAKER_3** (3:18)
Hilton Honors, baby.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:20)
What about the five-star Waldorf Astoria in the Maldives? Are you going to do this for all 9,000 properties?

**SPEAKER_4** (3:27)
When you want points that can take you anywhere, anytime, it matters where you stay. Hilton for the stay.

Getty Images has announced a multi-year partnership with OpenAI that will bring its licensed content libraries to the AI company. The agreement means Getty's content will appear in OpenAI Search and ChatGPT. High-quality, licensed visual content makes AI-powered search and discovery more useful and more trustworthy, Getty CEO Craig Peters said in a statement. Continuing, this partnership with OpenAI reflects a shared recognition of that, and together we will deliver richer visual experiences to ChatGPT users. Getty, until recently, had taken a strong stance against working with AI companies. In September 2022, Getty banned all AI-generated art from its library. A few months later, it sued Stability AI alleging copyright violations, a notion that was rejected late last year. A year after its AI-generated art ban, Getty announced its own generative AI tool, trained on its library and powered by NVIDIA's Edify AI model. Each of the resulting images came with a royalty-free license. But in October 2025, Getty signed a deal with Perplexity AI, allowing the latter's AI search and discovery tools to access Getty's library. Critically, the release stated that Perplexity will be making improvements to how it displays imagery, including image credit with a link to source, to better educate users on how to use the licensed imagery legally. Perplexity has faced suits around alleged illegal use of copyrighted materials.
