    AI in the Smart Home

    AI in the Smart Home

    Adam and Richard talk about the state of AI in the smart home, including fridges with computer vision and how Josh.ai is trying to fix voice-controlled home automation. Then, they talk about Apple's AI-related announcements at WWDC, including a huge tie-up with OpenAI ... but when, exactly, will we see this tech on all our devices?
    Also on today's episode: Why Apple is playing catch up with its virtual assistant Siri, rumors of a new HomePod with a screen, and how does everyone feel about the ethics of AI content scraping, anyway?

    Is Kaleidescape Really the "Ultimate Movie Platform?"

    Is Kaleidescape Really the "Ultimate Movie Platform?"

    Adam has been testing the Kaleidescape home theater movie platform, and on our last episode, he interviewed the company's director of technical marketing, Andre Floyd. Today, Richard interviews Adam about what he's learned from using the so-called "ultimate movie platform," who should definitely use it, and who might want to think twice before investing in it.
    They discuss ease of setup, movie selection, converting DVDs to digital titles, parental controls, pricing, and more. Kaleidescape provided Adam the hardware to try it out, but at the end of the interview, he explains whether or not he would pay full MSRP to have this in his home theater.
