Big tech companies are forever making promises about the future. And you might (or might not) be surprised how often they don’t come true. On this episode, Nilay and David start by discussing the good and bad of Apple’s new iPads and Macs, before diving into the supposedly AI-powered, all-powerful Siri that is delayed indefinitely. Maybe this whole "AI will fix everything" plan wasn’t such a good one. After that, The Verge’s Andy Hawkins joins to discuss what’s going on with Tesla: why sales are down, how the perception of the company has shifted as Elon Musk’s job description has changed, and how it happened that President Trump did a Tesla sales pitch on the White House lawn. Everything’s computer, you know? Finally, in the lighting round, the hosts discuss Brendan Carr’s ongoing shenanigans, Jay Graber’s sartorial burns, the future of Pokemon Go, and much more.
