The Death of Fun on the Internet, Apple’s Underhand Tactics & Samsung’s AI Advancements with Jag Sharma, Jason Kapadia and Jen Campbell - E62
It took just two weeks for one of Jason Kapadia’s predictions to come true, thanks in no small part to Samsung…
With AI being injected directly to our phones, VR solving the challenge of walking, and Apple embroiled in yet another controversy that puts them under fire, it’s a hell of a week on the Disconnected Podcast.
This episode of Disconnected covers:
Samsung’s new phones incorporating Galaxy AI
Apple’s App Store policies landing them in hot water
Disney’s solution to walking in VR
Why Jag thinks the internet isn’t as fun and carefree as it once was
Episode Highlights:
“Samsung hasn't integrated AI completely, but I think this is just the start of saying ‘We're on the cusp of having a very smart operating system that includes AI’.” - 4:10 - Jason Kapadia
“Are we shocked that they'll make us pay for it? You don’t just get these things for free. You either pay with your wallet or your data.” - 7:25 - Jen Campbell & Jason Kapadia
“To the average consumer or the average user of an iPhone, you wouldn't even notice what's going on in the background. You wouldn't even consider how much of your payment is going to the person who made the game vs to Apple.” - 14:30 - Jen Campbell
“Disney’s new VR invention is gonna be super important for less able-bodied people, and for physiotherapy and regeneration for people who don't necessarily have the ability to move around. ” - 18:55 - Jen Campbell
“It's a totally accelerated, different world we're in now in 2024, compared to where we were in 2014. In 2014, we still didn't have election interference. We certainly didn't have washing machines connecting to the internet. We didn't have presidents being impersonated through an AI creation.” - 28:45 - Jag Sharma
