e529 with Michael, Andy and Michael – stories about AR glasses & snarky AI wearables, Carrot Weather, Rabbit OS2, shaking to summarize, Doomscrolling and a whole lot more.
Michael, Andy and Michael get things moving this episode with all things AI. After starting with a parody about camera less phones which generate pictures, the team moves to an article about Amazon’s project Jayhawk AR glasses for their drivers. Next up is a new gesture for Firefox users on iOS – the ability to shake to summarize. After an article on AI audio manipulation, Andy and Michael M are reminded of how Denmark is providing a defense against deepfakes by updating copyrights to provide individuals the right to their own appearance and voice.
Following up on a plethora of stories in recent episodes on AI powered wearables, this episode takes on the Futurism article about the Friend pendant. Apparently, this companion has a bit of a snarky personality by design, and that got the co hosts talking about Carrot’s weather application. After mentioning that the Rabbit portable AI device gains a new OS upgrade, the team takes on a couple of game topics, including iPod click wheel game preservation and a Doomscroll game to try.
