From The Verge.

Did you see Ring’s Super Bowl ad and see happy puppies reunited with their owners? Or did you see the seeds of a complete, always-on surveillance nightmare coming for us all? David and Nilay discuss which is the right answer, why so many people don’t want to trust tech companies, and why Ring might not care much about the difference. After that, the hosts discuss the ads coming to ChatGPT, the surprising number of AI executives quitting their jobs and issuing dire warnings on the way out, and the fake ad for OpenAI gadgets. In the lightning round, it’s time for an extra long Brendan Carr is a Dummy, the latest Ferrari EV, the future of Siri, and more. #Vergecast #Technology #Podcast
