4.9 out of 5 stars from 265 ratings
  • Likeable, non-smart people talking about tech news. Nothing insightful.

    These are average intelligence, non-smart people who comment about tech news they know nothing about.

    Result: useless blathering. They seem like really nice people. I don’t trust their useless opinions.

  • Great Show but Recent Playback Issues

    Wonderful show, Tom, Sarah, Roger and crew do a great job of presenting a balanced, straight view of tech news in a consistent 30 mins. Don’t change a thing!

    Just wondering if anyone else is having a problem with the video podcast on the Apple platform? It tends to play for about six minutes or so and then gets stuck. I have to watch the podcast on YouTube at this point.

Q: Amber, do you think social media addiction and AI chatbot attachment are fundamentally similar, or are there unique risks with AI companions?
There are similarities in how both leverage design to keep people engaged, but AI companions introduce intimate, personal interactions that can create deeper emotional bonds, especially for vulnerable users. Guardrails and clear disclosures are needed to prevent unhealthy dependencies.
