We’ve heard the story so many times that that This is the time when Windows on Arm will work and we will have a revolution in powerful, portable, long-lasting PCs. For a decade, the story was fiction. This time, though… I don’t know. Seems real.
Afterwards, Kylie Robison appears on the show to talk all things OpenAI. That lively, fun and flirty GPT-4o demo is still in our minds – is this the future of AI we seek? And what will happen to Sky, the voice everyone heard and immediately said sounded like Scarlett Johansson, now that ScarJo herself disagreed with it? The type of company OpenAI wants to be and the types of products it wants to build seem extremely important in the next phase of the tech industry.
Finally, we answer a Vergecast Hotline question about the difference between a touchscreen MacBook – which might happen – and a Mac-like iPad – which probably won’t happen. It’s about hardware and software, but mainly about business models. But hey Apple, can we at least get better browsers?
