e433 — Zooming While You’re Zooming

Published 18 September 2023

Michael and Michael start of this show with the National Public Radio Marketplace series on games and the business of games called “Skin in the Game”. 

Then, they turn to the Apple Wonderlust event from last week, dialing in on the focus on carbon neutrality and the way of communicating that focus.  

Next up, a story from Business Insider for how generative AI is used to create software in minutes for a $1.  The image and part of the story reminds the co-hosts of Smallville, discussed in August’s episode 428.

Rounding out the episode this week are a couple of automotive stories – how hackers are exposing functionality in cars following on last week’s episode.  Also, a story about videoconferencing in cars, which may make a great deal of sense in autonomous vehicles, or perhaps when the vehicle is parked.

Would you want to have videoconferencing in your vehicle?  What software would you have a company comprised of chatbots create for you?  Have your bots 🤖 drop our bots 🤖 a line at @gamesatwork_biz (our home for now) and let us know! 

These show notes were lovingly hand crafted by a real human, and not by a bot.  All rights reserved.  That’s our story and we’re sticking to it.
