38:50 I see you also took a break from video after that
Our apologies: due to a technical error, the second half of the show this week is audio only.
wearing the vision pro will eventually be no different than holding your phone recording a bday party. this has always been an evolution. it used to be ridiculous seeing ppl with the large VHS camcorders recording bday parties…
I love this podcast because the hosts never fail to make me laugh 😂
Paul
3:47 Have we been using two different sites? “Reedit is wonderful”? Really? I mean the place had r/Donald for a while… their are many subreddits that make 4chan (which it seems that I have to remind people is the sewer of the internet) look tame and clean, even now. When it comes to being a stack of information.… stack overflow does function much better, and search sites are acquitted.
David, have you been using reddit for the last 10 years?
10:59 Because the truth is that users are the hostages. Access to users is the thing that he wants to make money off of, it is the thing that builds the communities of reddit (many of which don’t exist on other corners of the internet, for better or worse). It is users that make the content and that content is what the LLM are after. They are the big company that can subsidize this, but likely won’t, and here reddit the company is assuming that the communities on reddit will be docile. Clearly we are not.
Beyond the actual issues at hand , the thing that bewilders me the most is how they are handling this situation in regards to PR. like …. Wow I really am shocked at the lack of tactfulness in Huffman’s response.
When does the company’s PR team step in and advise him to just stop.
As a regular user I do not understand at all the uproar.
Wow Nilay is so smart
Why does everyone think so small? VR/AR is now. Wait until we have an actual holodeck if you want a shared experience.
No way they’re chatting Rust 😂
Thanks for an enjoyable show this week❤
In regards to the vision pro issue y’all brought up about not being able to physically “show” someone else something you found funny, I would honestly handle it the same way I do today.
When I want to show someone something on my phone, I don’t remember the last time I actually physically showed them my phone. What I (and everyone I know) does is just text/message them it. Similarly, if I’m wearing the vision pro and see something funny, I assume I’d be able to easily text/message them a screenshot of what I’m seeing. Not really an issue imo
53:45 Samsung DeX is the best example of one device, privacy, and any device becoming your device/screen 😉
funny enough Steve Huffman is literally playing the “Elon Musk” playbook, as he said he talked quite a few times with Musk and found his way of monetizing Twitter very appealing, specifically in the last few days.
