When you anthropomorphize robots, they can be as useless as possible. But for some reason, the face just personifies it just enough for us to not want to dunk on it all the time. I used to live with Michael Fisher and we had this robot called Gebo. He's so cute. And he was designed by one of the like an X-Pixar employee. They eventually went out of business, turned the servers off and then the company got sold to like Kaiser Permanente or something. Now they use them in hospitals with like dying children. So they, they cheer them up.
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!
