NEW - Is AI a Scam? Plus, Your Phone's Spying, Niagara Falls' New Thrill, and Apple's Coolest Tricks

Greg Fish from World of Weird Things joins the Nightshift to discuss the overhyping of AI, highlighting the chasm between the claims of AI "experts" and the practical limitations of current AI technology. A key point is the concern that the overhyping of AI will lead to poor outcomes and job losses. https://www.wowt.news/

On Wednesdays Shane Hewitt chats with technology expert Kris Abel and today the conversation features a discussion of Niagara Falls' new immersive theatre experience, "Niagara Takes Flight," where guests will experience a sensory film from a suspended gondola. We also explore Apple's new accessibility features, including the innovative Magnifier for Mac, and Carnegie Mellon University's LEGOGPT, a computer that builds with LEGOs. https://krisabel.com/

Is your tech listening to you? Technology expert Carmi Levy joins Shane to tell us how smartphones and other smart devices constantly listen to users, collecting behavioral data for commercial and marketing purposes. This data collection extends to vehicles and appliances, building detailed profiles of users' habits and preferences. He also provides practical steps to prevent devices and apps from listening, including disabling voice assistants, revoking microphone permissions for apps and more.
