Jamming generative AI into your hardware doesn't make hardware any less hard—at least for upstarts. Latest in @npub12dd…jscn https://www.wired.com/story/generative-ai-doesnt-make-hardware-less-hard/

This week’s Gadget Lab podcast is a wild ride: Featuring @npub15mu…6e7x and Brian Barrett, we talk about zombie web domains, a Serbian DJ clickbait king, the demise of Apple Daily, Paul Murray’s novel The Bee Sting, an Instagram era error, and more https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gadget-lab-weekly-tech-news/id266391367?i=1000645432117

Today in @npub12dd…jscn: The amazing Zoe Schiffer shares an excerpt from her book, a story that begins with Twitter's tweet-limit fiasco and ends in...Grok. "The company didn’t appear close to understanding the nature of the universe, but perhaps that’s coming." https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-twitter-rate-limits-extremely-hardcore/

The promise and peril of the internet is that it always remembers. Now that feature is coming to chatbots, with OpenAI's ChatGPT automatically remembering personal info you put in your prompts. Google, for its part, has emphasized "multi-turn," or continuous conversations, in its model, and other entities are working on long-term memory frameworks for AI. Latest in

NEW, in @npub12dd…jscn OpenAI’s new app store borrows a page from Big Tech's playbook, incentivizing developers (and non-techies) to build stuff for ChatGPT and keep it engaging.
But OpenAI still hasn't shared exact plans for paying app makers, which means developers both large and small are taking a leap of faith that terms will be favorable. All it has said is that payment will be based on user engagement https://www.wired.com/story/openais-app-store-chatgpt-everything-app/

Beeper cofounder @npub1cca…jc5e is still Real Mad about messaging and the analogies being made around it. "That’s the kind of out-of-touch Silicon Valley thinking I’m talking about here: Getting champagne at a bar in an airport. This is about people’s everyday lives: How you chat with your friends, your family, your colleagues, is the core experience of your phone."

For three years now @ericmigi, the founder of Pebble and an OS advocate, has been trying to figure out how to make green bubble texts (Android) play nice with blue bubble texts (iPhone), despite Apple's insistence that iMessage doesn't belong on Android. His newest hack: A Python-based proof-of-concept developed by a 16-year-old coder. My latest in @npub1pum…a8vt https://www.wired.com/story/beeper-android-iphone-texting-blue-bubbles/

NEW, from @peard33: In 2019 OpenAI signed a nonbinding agreement to spend $51 million on Rain chips when they became available, according to a copy of the deal and Rain disclosures to investors this year seen by WIRED. Rain told investors Altman had personally invested more than $1 million into the company. (Not previously reported.) https://www.wired.com/story/openai-buy-ai-chips-startup-sam-altman/

Alright, this time I’m REALLY back folks. I’ll be posting to Mastodon much more frequently. I’m still sharing my work Threads/IG and plan to keep doing so (and if I’m being honest I’m still occasionally checking in on X) but @npub1hyk…3p33’s reasoning behind why he’s NOT on Threads struck a chord.

This week’s @npub1pum…a8vt Gadget Lab podcast is blissfully free of Elon Musk and/or OpenAI drama. Instead we talk about a much more powerful drug https://journa.host/@Joe_Diner/111501099845634049

On the Gadget Lab this week! Our collaboration with Business Wars, where @npub19u2…t0gz and I explain what the heck “generative” AI really means, talk about the AI race and the money funneling into AI companies, and unpack the best movies/TV shows about AI https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gadget-lab-weekly-tech-news/id266391367?i=1000631072099

Last month I had the chance to spend two days with Weight Watchers CEO Sima Sistani in New York City, asking her about the digital transformation she's been tasked with, weight-loss whiplash, body acceptance, and how, exactly, Weight Watchers is handling drugs like Ozempic.

We had SO MUCH fun talking to Pitchfork EIC Puja Patel on this week's Have a Nice Future podcast. If you've been totally blown away (or fooled) by Fake Drake and other AI-gen music in recent weeks, this episode's for you. Also, I test @npub13x6…ukry's AI music chops, and let's just say he does very very well https://www.wired.com/story/have-a-nice-future-podcast-7/

The latest episode of HAVE A NICE FUTURE is out! @npub13x6…ukry talks to the brilliant @npub1ynl…873s about corporate and government surveillance, how history informs our view of the future, and why privacy is not totally dead (yet) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/get-wired/id1516843565?i=1000612464371

New episode of Have a Nice Future! We sat down with Lidiane Jones, Slack’s new CEO, to talk about the future of hybrid work, automation, and whether tech can ever truly solve our unhealthy relationships to work.
