Amazon held its “Devices and Services” this Wednesday. We go through all the big things they announced and what we think about them. Plus OpenAI announced version 3 of its image generator, DALL-E. It understands context better and integrates with ChatGPT. So for example, you can tell ChatGPT to write a prompt for Dall-E 3.
Astro and the Kids - GDI 4608 starts at 32:48
Roger gives his thoughts on the Amazon Astro robot. His kids are not good at hide and seek and use the robot like a moving tablet. Would your kids be impressed if you had a robot in your home? Is Amazon going to get more practical in their product line? Roger hears a pack of coyotes outside his home. Would it help if the Astro had an arm? What do you want in a household robot? How much would you pay for a mesh network? Scott shouldn't advocate theft. Have you heard of The Global Citizen festival? Scott saw too much of Flea.
Starring Tom Merritt, Sarah Lane, Scott Johnson, Roger Chang, Joe.
