First we dive into some exciting news of actual innovation: ultrasonic extraction for cold brew coffee. Then offer a live react to OpenAI’s new product GPT-4o, which is its new flagship model in the form of a voice assistant, and jump from there to talk more deeply about the problems with AI companions via a tech column in the NYTimes.

Hosted by Jathan Sadowski (www.twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.twitter.com/bigblackjacobin). Production / Music by Jereme Brown (www.twitter.com/braunestahl)

If GPT-4oh could do more than just be a fucking chatbot friend, they would 100% be marketing that. It can’t, and they need to stop bleeding capital, so now we get this. Pretty funny how billions of dollars have led to this

I’m a physical therapist who does home health and I regularly interact with people who are disabled and over 65-let me up front state I’m in complete agreement with the general skepticism and disregard of AI however it is absolutely true that there are a lot of people out there who are either disabled and/or older who really would benefit from increased support and increased socialization that chat bots could provide-especially if (giant if) useful information regarding medications, housing, financial support could be reliably answered via AI. I agree that there society issues-but it will take some time to change those and even the most ideal societies struggle with these issues. So many people have limited to no support systems, there is a limit I think to what state interventions can do in this area, although certainly more than what we are doing. a Actually when the Metaverse came out, it surprised to me how little of it was even attempted to cater to the disabled community-granted that’s a small community, but that really is a community that might’ve benefited from what the Metaverse theoretically had to offer.
