  <description>&lt;p&gt;AI is no longer just answering questions—it’s starting to rewrite the technology around us.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On AwesomeCast 801, Sorg, Katie Dudders, and Dave Podnar look at people using AI to strip ads and bloat from smart TVs, AI conducting job interviews with other AI, Sorg’s first vibe-coded production tool, Google Playgrounds generating a playable custom game, and Xbox exploring AI-assisted software decompilation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The crew also checks out MapQuest’s new surveillance-camera layer and Pittsburgh’s Flock camera map, explores tools for locating data centers and submarine internet cables, and previews the rumors surrounding Apple’s upcoming professional hardware event.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Plus: a wearable Guile popcorn bucket, worldwide radio with Somewhere FM, Hello Kitty at Burger King, the Star Wars Super Bowl broadcast, Margaret Hamilton’s legacy, and the ChachiSays Video Game Minute.&lt;/p&gt;
