Reality Bytes #23 AI Just Fired an Employee, and I Built my Own AI Assistant

This episode got way nerdier than we planned. Todd and Skiva dig into the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, go deep on home automation (Zigbee, Matter, and the $40 fix that saved Todd's yard from a leak that would've cost thousands), then get into the AI news everyone's talking about: Flock surveillance cameras tracking license plates, and an AI system that fired an employee with zero human sign-off.

Then Todd shows off Jarvis, his own custom AI voice assistant built with Whisper, a local Ollama server, Claude, and ElevenLabs, live on the show (including a launch-Call-of-Duty demo that didn't go as planned the first time).

Topics: - Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra vs Z Fold 8 vs Z Fold 5 - Moving 72 home automations to a new phone (the one-file trick) - Zigbee, Matter, and Z-Wave: why local control beats the cloud - The $40 valve that stopped a sprinkler leak - Flock license plate cameras and the surveillance debate - AI fired an employee for being late, no human involved - The AI-run-courtroom movie "Mercy" and where this could be headed - Todd's custom Jarvis AI voice assistant, live demo - GTA 6 release date and the US Army's 4-day pass to play it for re-enlisting - Flat2VR Studios showcase recap: High on Life VR, System Shock VR, Out of Sight VR - XREAL One AR glasses giveaway
