e502 with Michael and Michael – stories and discussion on AI for career recommendations, game generation, enabled devices such as the Humane AI Pin and Rabbit R1 and Agents, as well as Kindle eBook DRM while Andy is in transit to RubyJam.
Michael and Michael get things started off with a story about Google’s Career Dreamer AI enabled tool to help people explore career possibilities, discover strengths and develop skills.
Turning next to AI Agents, Michael and Michael take a look at the Rabbit Agent and the functionality the software provides. The team then focuses on the news about HP acquiring Humane, and especially on the AI Pin servers shutting down at the end of the month, putting a severe crimp in the functionality of the hardware devices. This also signals that HP sees significant value in the Humane software, and reminds the co-hosts of earlier episodes dealing with technology companies shutting down services for hardware, such as the Jibo robot.
Next up is a discussion on the latest eBook DRM situation with books on the Amazon Kindle, and what people can do right now other than back up books before February 26.
Then the While Waiting game spurs a broader conversation on boredom and screen time before the next topic of AI to generate games spins up. Michael R wraps up this episode with a discussion on the Swift on Android working group, and language portability.

This #StarTrek com badge “toy” that uses Bluetooth and costs around just $80 has more functionality than the more expensive #Humane#AI pin will in a few days.
The weekly conversation hosted by Michael Rowe, Michael Martine, and Andy Piper, Games At Work dot Biz, explores the intersection where our digital play and professional lives collide.

The Games At Work dot Biz podcast operates on the belief that the games we play and the tools we use are inextricably linked, offering listeners a consistently thoughtful and engaging analysis that goes far beyond a simple score.
