But Lyall Davenport of SKN Systems created a sensor-embedded tape that sticks directly to race cars as they drive around the real world, generating 420M data points per hour. And it comes in at roughly 95% less cost than running a full simulator. Hear about how Lyall\u2019s background in racing helped him develop the concept, plans to expand from motorsports to drones and defense, and his experiences going through Jason\u2019s various programs. PLUS OpenAI\u2019s new models are so good, you can\u2019t use them. Why Apple\u2019s Vision Pro chief defected to OpenAI (and why their laptops and devices are getting more expensive). A look at the world\u2019s most annoying data center in Sterling, Virginia. And Jason remembers iconic and influential tech journalist Om Malik.
