Meta just announced a major move in its AI efforts—investing in Scale AI and building a superintelligence AI research lab. While Meta has been trying to keep up with big names in the AI race, such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Google, the company's new strategy includes dropping some serious cash to acquire talent and invest in Scale AI. Today on the show, we dive into the deal between Meta and Scale AI, including what Meta aims to get out of investment, and we ask the question we are all wondering: What is superhuman intelligence, anyway?

Michael Calore: How is everybody doing this week? Katie Drummond: Well, I'm back and I'm so happy to be here. I ate so much butter in France last week, the first couple nights I had to myself. And so what would a normal person do in Paris? Maybe they'd go out and sit at the bar and have dinner alone, maybe they'd meet up with a friend. I ate butter and bread alone in my hotel room. And let me tell you, if you're listening out there and you are a mom and you have a young kid or young kids, if you're married, if you struggle with having a spouse and a child and maybe some pets and a busy job, there is no better experience than eating French butter and bread alone in a hotel room. Michael Calore: Wow. Lauren Goode: Uncanny Valley, brought to you by the dairy lobby. Katie Drummond: By the French dairy lobby. I feel incredible. How are you guys? Lauren Goode: I'm OK. I got bangs. Katie Drummond: You did? Lauren Goode: Yeah. So most of our listeners can't see it unless you watch our new video promos online, but I got bangs. There's often a correlation between things going on in the world and women cutting their bangs. That's all I'm going to say about that. But otherwise, I'm great. I'm great. Rate the bangs, go online. Thumbs up, thumbs down. Katie Drummond: Five out of five. Lauren Goode: Thank you. Katie, really, you were my inspiration here. Katie Drummond: Oh, no, that's too kind. But I do love a bang and hate a forehead.
