There’s a lot going on this week as we continue to wait to find out the results of the election. So, we’re going to talk about other stuff. Like, for example, why the gig economy is going to be so important in the future, and why Proposition 22 is a good thing. Jason and Jess also talk about their own experience freelancing, and describe some practical steps you can use to get started.
We also talk about Apple’s announcement that it’s holding an event next week to launch new laptops powered by Apple Silicon. We’ve known these were coming, but now we get to see if Apple can actually pull off what we all expect - a fast, lightweight, powerful laptop with all-day battery life. We’ll know soon.
Uber’s win over California is a big win for the gig economy.

Eric Johnson joins me for a conversation about how SurveyMonkey is getting back to its roots and rethinking the way it serves its customers.

Notion is launching its AI features to the public, and Jason has questions. What does it mean for how we work? What about my data--will it be used to train language models? In this conversation, Jason talks with Notion's CEO, Ivan Zhao, about what the new AI features mean, and how they might just fundamentally change the way we work.
Jason is joined by guest Stephen Robles to talk about movies, drinking water, and podcasts. Mostly, we talk all about the brand new (but also very much the same) 2nd-generation HomePod. Stephen did an in-depth review of how it compares to various other (more expensive) sound setups and we talk about why Apple brought it back after discontinuing the OG HomePod in 2021.

Jason and Jess talk about ChatGPT, the ai-text generator that has more than a million users. Microsoft recently announced it was investing $10 billion in OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT. What does that mean for Microsoft? How about Google Search? We talk about it all--including the controversy around CNET, a tech publication that was using AI-generated text to publish articles.
What does it mean for information on the internet?

Jason and Jess have thoughts about the Twitter mess, because of course everyone has thoughts now that the richest man on earth is messing with, well, everything. More importantly, however, we try to settle once-and-for-all whether you should be using Safari or Chrome (or something else like Brave). Is Safari good enough to use on a regular basis? Is Chrome really stealing all of your personal information? Those are important questions and we're going to try to answer them.
Finally, Jess got a new toy for her office, and Jason got a new office--literally.
