C_NCENTRATE 920: Coke's ChatGPT deal, AI sanity, 'Doomers', cheap Apple goggles, Gogoro expands, +++
A BUSY WEEK
TBD took up all my time this week, so it’s shorter ‘big news’ than usual.
TBD ‘Materia’ received a 91% satisfaction score! Get your on-demand ticket here and rewatch everything when it goes live next week. The ticket also includes the last two TBD Conferences, ‘Espérance’ and ‘Mollitiam’. OOOSH.
The EU banned TikTok on government devices; the UK - and others - are under pressure to take similar steps, Wall Street Banks are already limiting staff usage of ChatGPT, AppleTV+ is going to get ads (the last holdout), the UK can’t get it’s five a day, Google expanded ‘Magic Eraser’ to iPhone users, the DOJ does not want Adobe to buy Figma, AI-generated voices may be able to fool bank security, more crypto drama (this time political) for Sam in the FTX debacle, Meta announced ‘Facebook Jail’, Netflix is cutting prices in 30 countries, NVIDIA revenue is down, Spotify has an AI DJ, and a new Berkley study shows researchers can identify VR users with 94%+ accuracy using 100 seconds of motion data, after analysing anonymised data of 50K+ Beat Saber players.
AI is moving fast, but not as fast as it feels; there’s a lot of noise and issues about what is fact and what is hyperbole. Much of the coverage is superb, but a lot is written without understanding the nuances and underlying science for clicky headlines.
SO WHAT?
