Short answer: Sam Nadler says Meta's Muse Image feels similar to Nano Banana but can alter anyone's public Instagram photos. Hardik Kabaria expects guardrails to develop for images as they did for language models.

Sam Nadler [21:40]: Yeah. We're gonna jump into the news. We're gonna go a little bit more, consumer. So Meta just launched the a new AI generator, Muse Image. I've had an opportunity to play with it. And, honestly, it feels pretty similar to Nano Banana or OpenAI. What I think is controversial about Muse, and I've I've done a little thing here, is if someone's Instagram profile is available, which yours is, Jordan, I said make mister Metz into a rock star. It you know, I think it's pretty good. I'm Jewish.
Jordan Metzner [22:20]: I'm not sure how the good the cross is.
Sam Nadler [22:24]: Yeah. I didn't see that. But, I think and I did ask it as well, and we can get your expert opinion if we can if, creating a diagram of how Vinci AI works to accelerate the physics simulation process for chips. So I have no idea if this yeah. I have no idea if this is accurate. I asked the second image to be more technical so we can dive into that. But, what I want your opinions on is is how controversial should this be that you could basically, immediately, I guess, alter someone's public images. And is that gonna cause problems that, they probably could do via another platform anyway?
Hardik Kabaria [23:07]: Yeah. I mean, I think with any capability, you will have this. Right? And my thought process is is, like, even in the early days of language models, we cared about, oh, it's not giving accurate answer, oh, we could not trust it. And then we developed certain level of trust. Then we developed certain level of guardrails. Then we started using in the production no, human oversight, and now we have developed the trust. What I think this says is this image is a different modality. We are going to go through the same evolution on the raw intelligence, so the model architectures will get created, data pipelines will get created, then the application layer will start getting built, guardrails will come up and there will be all the types of usages we can think about images that's going to happen. So that's maybe my too much of a technical perspective, but I think yes the guardrails will get implemented and we will have all kind of usages, but I think it tells us that the images are going to be very different modality than language.
Hardik Kabaria [24:11]: So we will see the learnings from language being applied, but I think the different classes of product and models are gonna show up here.
