This week on Built 2 Scale, Scott returns jet-lagged from Texas while Matt battles a fresh Mac-switch identity crisis—yet somehow they still squeeze in everything from congressional insider-trading memes to humanoids doing side-flips. The duo dissects BMW’s surprise deal with China’s DeepSeek, Figure AI’s “three-robot” lawsuit, and Apple’s quiet robotics pivot. Plus: how to turn ChatGPT notes into a walk-and-learn podcast, spin up a five-minute AI phone agent, and why Sam Altman really wants to be the Apple of AI. If you’ve ever wondered when your watch, fridge, and driveway gardener will start talking back, this is the episode.
