Join Mike and Emily on another exciting episode of Unicorn Roast! They explain why robots are wearing glasses (smart glasses for fast training, not for eyesight). They answer the question: Are Apple's $199 AirPods good for using as hearing aids? Plus, they explore the brand-new products and features designed to make AI chatbots like Tolan, Sesame, Perplexity Voice, Grok 3, and Amazon Alexa+ more “human.” Your favorite podcasters expose OpenAI's recent release of the not-ready-for-prime-time GPT-4.5. And more!
