We take a look at the new accessibility features Apple previewed today including Personal Voice and Assistive Access. Vancouver based “Sanctuary Cognitive Systems Corporate” announced a bipedal robot called “Phoenix”. And Neil Saunders a senior lecturer in maths at the University of Greenwich has written a piece on The Conversation saying people need to stop anthropomorphizing AI and stop treating it like it’s human.

A Random Molly Wood Has Appeared - GDI 4521 starts at 30:42

Molly Wood joins us to talk about the CNET staff unionizing. Does that mean the CNET staff would have to join the strike? Tom, Molly and Iyaz talk about their thoughts on what could happen next. Have you worked in a place where the staff wanted to join a union? Do you want a union or a candy bar? So many rounds of layoffs and so much carnage. Don't fool yourself, worrying about pennies. Does being in the first round of layoff affect your job prospects? Apple was wrong about the setlist. Tom shows off his K-Pop knowledge again. Live concert talk takes over. Do you prefer a radio edit version while at a concert? How many helicopters is too many at a concert?

Starring Tom Merritt, Sarah Lane, Iyaz Akhtar, Molly Wood, Roger Chang, Amos, Joe.
