Artificial Intelligence is slowly making in-roads in the business world. It’s helping us accomplish tasks that were either too labor intensive, or too difficult to figure out. In the short-term, it means amazing advances and new opportunities. It’s genuinely exciting! However, overtime we expect lower end jobs to slowly be taking over by AI and robots. This will present a few hardships for non-skilled employees (and all employees in general). We’re a ways away from that reality, but it is definitely happening. Listen to the show below for all our thoughts.
298: Full Team Coverage Of Apple’s WWDC
That’s right: full team coverage: all our resources were devoted to covering Apple and their WWDC this week. They released new hardware: Macs, iPads, and a HomePod. They also made updates to watchOS, macOS and iOS, with improvements to Siri, AR and machine learning. We had a ton of notes below digging into each of the different parts below.
284: The Problem With Owning A Camera Company
Snap become a publicly traded camera company this week. It’s the largest IPO since Facebook and is based purely on expectations of future growth and advertisements. Matthew and I don’t totally get why they insist on calling themselves a camera company, but I guess that’s because we’re not cool.
A ton of other cool things happened this week as well. See below for the whole list.
247: Playing On New Operating Systems
This week we dive deep into Apple’s WWDC where they release updates for their four operating systems. At the same time, E3 took place and we review a bunch of the new games announced. Oh yeah, and Microsoft bought LinkedIn.
194: Watching The WWCD Keynote Next to Chris Pratt
It sounds like Jurassic World is pretty good and will hold the open weekend box office record until December. We also talked about the the impact of the World’s Fair on your life, Apple’s numerous announcements: El Capitan, Siri, Swift 2, watchOS 2, Music, News, and more. Oculus announced their consumer hardware which will work with Windows 10 and Xbox One. Finally Dick Costolo is out of Twitter and Jack Dorsey will be taking over.
157: Bending Under The Weight Of Bad PR
James is still enjoying his TOTALLY FLAT iPhone.
We talk about “Hey Siri!” which is helping to usher in the future for HomeKit. We then talk about semantic satiation for naming brands. Create a shortcut of @@ to be your email. Apple deals with a PR nightmare from Bendgate and iOS 8.0.1. Apple contemplates getting rid of the Beats brand for streaming music. Cirque Du Soleil uses quadcopters to create an awesome flying lamp performance. Robinhood raised $13 million but has yet to launch. Samsung moves 500 engineers from their mobile phone division to other IoT devisions. Shellshock rocks the security world.
