Every tech has like two arcs instead of one. The top arc is the ceiling of how good the very best version gets. And the bottom arc is how accessible the easiest to use version gets. Elon tweeted because we were in the process of like figuring out what verified even means or does anymore. He tweeted to get a blue check verified for $7 a month. If you pay monthly, it's $8 a month. So easy. Is Twitter slowly going to become a pay walled service? Yes. I have a feeling at the very like eventually they're just going to be like if you want to use Twitter, you have to pay for it.
This week, Marques, Andrew, and David discuss each of the products from the latest Dope Tech video before jumping into a ton of weird celebrity AI deepfakes that we can all agree are way too weird. After that, they talk about how Elon Musk has promised a bunch of changes to Twitter Blue. They wrap it all up with a discussion about WWDC and the rumored Apple AR headset. Make sure to stick around for trivia as well! It wouldn't be Waveform without a chaotic trivia ending. Enjoy!
