    Mon. 03/18 – Apple To Partner With Google For AI On iOS?

    I did NOT have on my bingo card Apple turning to Google to power its first big foray into modern AI on its hardware. Even while a new Apple AI model might be pointing to breakthroughs in AI reasoning. One of the biggest e-sports competitions in the world has been hacked by cheaters. And some pretty bearish news for the VR industry.

    Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas tell Chris and I to expect more partnerships like the recent one with Yelp; how Perplexity thinks of search differently than Google does; and the competition Perplexity fears beyond Google.

    Fri. 03/15 – Apple’s Quiet AI Acquisition

    Remember that Apple has quietly made more AI acquisitions than anyone else? They quietly made another one. The FCC has a new definition for broadband. Looks like everybody knows the EU is a stick they can beat Apple with now. And, of course, the Weekend Longreads Suggestions.

    Thu. 03/14 – Who Wants TikTok?

    If this TikTok bill is actually going to become law, who would actually be in the running to take it over? A bunch of announcements from Microsoft. Hard data on how we listen to music these days. And estimates for how much AI could cut into the traditional web search business.

    Wed. 03/13 – TikTok On The Brink?

    The TikTok legislation has passed the House, but it’s path through the Senate is uncertain to say the least. The first real AI regulation has passed, in Europe, of course. Arm’s new chips for self-driving cars. Did Cerebras just break Moore’s Law with its new AI chips? Spotify has music videos. And Perplexity continues to try to become Google Search faster than Google search can become them.

    Tue. 03/12 – Is TikTok Coming For Instagram?

    More App Store changes from Apple will allow developers to offer apps via their website. In Europe only, of course. Some of you can file your taxes online, for free, starting today. Why bitcoin has been breaking records. An interesting AI raise. Is TikTok about to launch an Instagram competitor? Though maybe the reason they need to is their user numbers are flatlining.

Tech News That Is No Longer Torpedoed by Insufferable, Endless CryptoBro Scam Discussion

Update: The endless talk of the next big crypto scheme has finally slowed down. And everything I said about crypto being a scam down below ended up being true, which he realizes by now, and which is why he finally had to stop talking about it. Since his hand was forced in the matter, the show covers normal tech topics now. I can now fully recommend this pretty smartly done podcast for actually staying up to date on tech news, and have adjusted the rating accordingly. Just don’t go back to your old crypto scheme schilling ways- Deal?

Does a decent job of covering tech topics in detail, however his self interest in crypto causes him to shoehorn nonstop crypto talk into every show even though the rest of the world has already figured out it is all a scam and has moved on. Suggestion- Hire an outside editor to remove your inane segments attempting to legitimize the next new dumb NFT/Web 3 scam in each episode before publishing. They could hand back the episode with your crypto rambling still intact, making you feel you’ve done your part to keep drawing in more rubes to lose their money, while the rest of the world is safe from your own misguided crypto cult self interests. Kind of like a self imposed Podcast shadowban.

Political bias

Not something that a tech news podcast should have, but sadly it does.
