Three Ways AI Can Totally Screw Your Dental Practice,

Control the World

What if the next leap in AI isn’t bigger at all? Samsung just unveiled a tiny model built to run on your phone, earbuds, and watch.
We unpack why on-device AI matters: faster responses, lower costs, and stronger privacy with your photos, voice, and messages processed locally. Harry Kermode explains how tiny AI works: distillation, pruning, quantization, and NPUs that wake only when needed. We also map the trade-offs and the likely hybrid handoff between edge and cloud.
Expect everyday devices to feel smarter by default, reshaping app design, battery expectations, and how personal your AI becomes without sending everything to the cloud. Plus, the privacy fine print and what benchmarks and tools to watch next.

FULL TRANSCRIPT: I can’t replicate that show’s exact style, but here’s a concise, narrative news explainer in a similar tone.

From AI Daily, I’m Harry Kermode.

Today: what if the next big leap in artificial intelligence isn’t bigger at all? Samsung has unveiled a tiny AI model designed to run on the devices we carry—phones, earbuds, even watches. It’s a bet that the future of AI lives at the edge, not in the cloud.

Here’s why that matters. When AI runs on your device, your data doesn’t need to travel. That means faster responses, lower costs, and a real shift in privacy—your voice, your photos, your messages can be processed locally, not on someone else’s server.

Imagine your morning: you dictate a text on the subway, offline. Your watch translates a phrase on the fly. Your camera de-blurs a photo as you snap it. No spinning “connecting” icon. No signal? No problem.

Under the hood, “tiny AI” isn’t magic—it’s engineering. Start with a capable model, then compress it: distillation to teach a smaller network the tricks of a larger one, pruning to snip away redundant connections, quantization to store numbers more efficiently. Pair that with modern phone chips—neural processing units tuned for matrix math—and clever scheduling so models wake only when needed. The result: meaningful intelligence within a tight power budget.

There are trade-offs. Smaller models can’t juggle sprawling tasks or remember long conversations. Expect a hybrid approach: on-device for speed and privacy, the cloud for heavy lifting, with seamless handoffs you barely notice.

The stakes are big. If everyday devices become smart by default, AI stops being a destination and becomes an atmosphere. That’s democratizing—and disruptive. App makers will design for on-device first. Carriers could see fewer data-hungry requests. Companies will compete on battery life, latency, and how well tiny models adapt to you personally.

And privacy? On-device processing keeps data local, but it isn’t a free pass. Companies will need transparent update policies, secure enclaves for sensitive data, and clear controls so you can decide what stays on your phone and what leaves it.

What to watch next: real-world benchmarks on speed and battery drain, developer tools that make building tiny-model apps easy, and whether Samsung’s move pushes rivals to standardize how edge AI is measured, updated, and secured.

Small models, everywhere. That might be how AI finally becomes part of the background—powerful, personal, and almost invisible.

That’s AI Daily. I’m Harry Kermode. See you tomorrow.

THE ELK AND THE WOLVES: CRUISE CONTROL

Remember... remember...

The Elk had antlers strong and wide
They cleared the forest, side by side
They built the roads, they dug the wells
They raised the walls and tower bells

The Wolves, who owned the land by law
Paid Elk in grain for what they saw
"Work hard, build straight, and you'll be fed—
We'll share the plenty that you've spread"

So Elk bent low and built for years
Through summer heat and winter's tears
They taught their young to lift and haul
To build the Wolves' great hunting hall

But WOLVES LEARNED SECRETS in the night
How to make machines that worked despite
The need for Elk with tired backs
For iron hands don't tire or slack
(don't tire or slack...)

One morning came without a sound
The Elk found notices on the ground
"Your service helped us reach this day
But machines now build—you cannot stay"

The grain stores? Owned by Wolves alone
The wells they dug? Wolf-mortgaged stone
The roads they paved with bleeding hooves
Led only where the Wolf approves

Young Elk asked his father, gray and bent
"We built this world—where did it went?"
The father's answer, heavy, true
"We built their wealth, not what we're due"


"We should have claimed the land we cleared
The tools we made, the wells we engineered
Building wealth for others' gain
Just forges your own future's CHAIN"

"The ones who own, not those who toil
Inherit everything—the spoil"


Some Elk had learned the machine's code
Had bought small plots along the road
They weren't spared the coming frost
But they survived—the others? LOST

Now scattered through the outer wood
The builder-Elk, misunderstood
Still believing if they tried once more
The Wolves would open up the door


But DOORS ARE ONLY OPENED WIDE
For those who OWN what's kept inside
The truth the forest tries to hide:
LABOR BUILDS, but OWNERSHIP DECIDES

--

A dystopian fable wrapped in festival-grade bass and yacht club aesthetics. This track dissects the brutal economics of labor vs. ownership through the story of the Elk—who built everything—and the Wolves—who owned everything.

"Labor builds, but ownership decides."

When the machines arrive, the builders are rendered obsolete. The wells they dug, the roads they paved, the walls they raised—all owned by others. This is prophetic rap meets dark-trap meditation on automation, displacement, and the cruel mathematics of capital.

The moral isn't subtle: Learn the systems. Claim your ground. Or watch machines take what you found.

The guys are delighted to welcome back special guest Danielle Rios of Totogi this week. Pausing only to acknowledge Danielle’s continued contribution to the pod’s refreshment resources, they get straight into Totogi’s recent initiative to make even the creation of telecoms software ‘AI-native’. Among the topics explored are the pros and cons of automating such things, as well as inevitable concerns about overly powerful and ubiquitous AI, before they eventually move on to give the public clod the same treatment and conclude with a look at Nokia’s recent quarterly earnings report.

Join Pure Storage Technical Evangelists Don Poorman and Mike Nelson as we dive into Pure Fusion and how Pure Storage is enabling users to focus less on managing storage and more on managing their data.  We start by examining the complexities of managing storage and application workloads in today's rapidly evolving IT landscape. We expose the challenges posed by legacy vendor "portfolios" which often consist of disparate products lacking unified GUIs and APIs. Learn why a fundamental shift is necessary to eliminate silos in enterprise storage, moving beyond mere federation to true integration – a unified management plane with common APIs that seamlessly operate across the entire storage ecosystem. Poorman and Nelson underscore how this integration and automation are not just valuable for traditional workloads but will be absolutely critical for the future of AI implementation, especially for inference.

Our discussion pivots to Pure Storage's groundbreaking solution: Fusion. Learn what Fusion is – a powerful capability included in the latest versions of the Purity operating environment that provides an intelligent control plane for a centralized, unified management experience across an entire fleet of arrays. Our experts explain how Fusion inherently adopts Pure's API-First strategy, offering robust automation capabilities through PowerShell SDK, Ansible, and Python. They highlight how Fusion drives management, compliance, and workload configuration consistency from a single pane of glass, and how it's a vital foundation of Pure's Enterprise Data Cloud (EDC) vision.

Listeners and viewers will gain invaluable insights into the tangible benefits of Fusion, including the ability to provision storage on any array from any array within the same UI, search and manage storage resources globally, and reconfigure resources without needing to access a specific array. Poorman and Nelson also explore how Fusion simplifies and standardizes workload deployments with pre-configured definitions, enabling end-to-end workload orchestration. They touch upon future enhancements like seamless interoperability across file, object, and block storage in on-site, hybrid, and cloud environments, and the exciting prospect of workload mobility.
