They explore what this partnership might mean for the future of AI-driven devices, including speculation about smart speakers, wearables, and new interaction models beyond keyboards and screens.The conversation highlights the duo's excitement around the possibilities of inclusive design but also raises serious concerns about accessibility. Drawing comparisons to the Humane AI Pin and Amazon Echo, they ask whether new devices will be accessible from the ground up—or if the blind community will once again be left behind. With a call to action for constructive engagement, the hosts emphasize the importance of disability inclusion in the design phase, not as an afterthought.Chapters00:00 - Start01:25 - Open AI Buys Jony Ive's IO Company25:58 - Sponsor: Pneuma Solutions27:23 - Steven's Concerns About AppleRelevant LinksOpenAI: https://openai.comBe My Eyes: https://www.bemyeyes.comApple Accessibility: https://www.apple.com/accessibilityMicrosoft Build 2025: https://build.microsoft.comGoogle I/O 2025: https://io.google Find Double Tap online: YouTube, Double Tap Website---Follow on:YouTube: https://www.doubletaponair.com/youtubeX (formerly Twitter): https://www.doubletaponair.com/xInstagram: https://www.doubletaponair.com/instagramTikTok: https://www.doubletaponair.com/tiktokThreads: https://www.doubletaponair.com/threadsFacebook: https://www.doubletaponair.com/facebookLinkedIn: https://www.doubletaponair.com/linkedin Subscribe to the Podcast:Apple: https://www.doubletaponair.com/appleSpotify: https://www.doubletaponair.com/spotifyRSS: https://www.doubletaponair.com/podcastiHeadRadio: https://www.doubletaponair.com/iheart About Double TapHosted by the insightful duo, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece, Double Tap is a treasure trove of information for anyone who's blind or partially sighted and has a passion for tech.

Techdirt has finally accepted the inevitable and gone full democracy blog—because let's face it, politics and tech are now the same dumpster fire. Google rolled out AI Mode for Search, proving once again that the internet is just Clippy with better branding. Meanwhile, Billy McFarland insists Fyre Festival 2 is totally happening, despite Mexican officials pointing out that his coordinates literally lead to the ocean. Speaking of fraud, Tesla sales are in freefall thanks to Elon's alt-right cosplay, and people are setting Teslas on fire in protest. And in rich-guy disconnect news, Google's Sergey Brin thinks engineers should work 60-hour weeks to build the AI that will replace them. That's some late-stage capitalism poetry right there.Elsewhere, Trump Media paid Don Jr. nearly a quarter of its revenue to show up twice, while indie musicians can't afford to tour, proving once again that grifting is more profitable than making art. Technicolor shut down overnight, stranding 10,000 workers because Hollywood's financial planning is apparently as stable as a Starship rocket launch. Oh yeah, SpaceX exploded another one.Meanwhile, Netflix's attempt to upscale A Different World turned it into a Lovecraftian horror show. A quarter of Y Combinator startups now run on “vibe coding,” meaning their software is basically a Ouija board with extra steps. The AI takeover continues as OpenAI plans to charge $20,000 monthly for specialized AI "agents," proving once again that the revolution will be monetized. Meanwhile, Moscow's Pravda network has been poisoning Western AI chatbots with Russian propaganda, because if you can't convince humans, just brainwash the robots that humans increasingly trust.On the bright side, hackers brought the Humane AI Pin back to life after it was bricked, transforming an overpriced paperweight into... a slightly less useless overpriced paperweight. ChatGPT can now directly edit code in macOS development tools, making it easier for AI to introduce bugs you never would have thought of yourself. Over At the Library, check out "The Tempest" by Peter Cawdron for your first contact fix, and if you're worried about where society is heading (and who isn't?), Timothy Snyder's "On Tyranny" offers a survival guide for our slow-motion constitutional collapse. Finally, in "everything is fine" news, 82% of indie artists can't afford to tour anymore.Enjoy the dystopia, kids – at least we still have our sense of humor.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Head over to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use the code "GOG" for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

In today's world, the personal touch of gifting, like handwritten notes, seems to have been lost over time, with technology now playing a major role in how we interact and share with others. In earlier generations, creating something personal for someone, whether a small gift or a card, involved more effort and creativity. Today, everything has become so tech-driven. However, we also discussed how AI companions can have a positive impact, offering emotional support. For instance, the younger generation is turning to AI voice assistants like Amazon Alexa to share their day or simply engage in conversation, offering them relief from stress and homesickness. These AI assistants don't replace human interaction, but they serve as an additional layer of support, making people feel heard and less alone. In some cases, they even help individuals build social skills, providing a safe space to practice communication without fear of judgment. The Humane AI Pin has officially failed, and with it, the early hopes for AI hardware like the Rabbit R1. Initially hyped as groundbreaking, both devices struggled due to overpricing and underdelivering. The Humane AI Pin, priced at $700, couldn't live up to its promises, while the Rabbit R1's features are now becoming standard in smartphones. With the rapid evolution of AI smartphones, these extra devices seem unnecessary. Though these early innovations didn't succeed, there may still be potential for better AI hardware in the future.

Joey and Addy tackle the breaking news of Technicolor's potential collapse and what it means for the 15,000 employees worldwide at iconic VFX houses like The Mill and MPC. They analyze how the future of VFX might shift toward smaller, specialized teams and discuss DNEG's strategic acquisition of Metaphysic AI. The conversation shifts to the escalating tax incentive battles keeping productions away from L.A., with the U.K. raising its relief to 40% and Netflix investing $1B in Mexico. Plus, they examine several AI products recently laid to rest, including the Humane Ai Pin and Skyglass's virtual production app. A sobering but essential episode on the rapidly evolving state of the film and tech industries.

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!In this episode of 'Discover Daily', we begin with the unexpected shutdown of Humane's AI Pin. The much-discussed wearable device's discontinuation and subsequent $116 million acquisition by HP marks a significant shift in the wearable AI landscape, highlighting the challenges of introducing new device categories in today's competitive market.We also delve into the launch of Protector, an innovative app revolutionizing personal security in major US cities. This "Uber for armed guards" service offers on-demand access to professional security details and motorcades, bringing high-end protection services to a broader audience through a user-friendly platform in Los Angeles and New York City.The episode's main focus examines a fascinating breakthrough in human evolution research: the NOVA1 gene's role in speech development. Scientists at Rockefeller University have identified this crucial protein variant, present in virtually all modern humans, as a potential key to understanding how we developed our unique capacity for complex speech. Through groundbreaking experiments with genetically modified mice, researchers have demonstrated NOVA1's significant impact on vocalization patterns, opening new possibilities for treating communication disorders and understanding human evolution.From Perplexity's Discover Feed: https://www.perplexity.ai/page/humane-shuts-down-ai-pin-QYaGHA_mRQaNJYpvrVc3.whttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/uber-for-armed-guards-climbs-a-3vMrFSDqQ5ududobBxbgzAhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/human-speech-gene-identified-lk71mFheSMqALlOPuwVOgQ**Introducing Perplexity Deep Research:**https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/introducing-perplexity-deep-research Perplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

In this episode, Mikah Sargent is joined by Jennifer Pattison Tuohy of The Verge to discuss NVIDIA's work on an AI platform for American Sign Language and her review of the Skylight Calendar Max. Zac Hall of 9to5Mac talks about the new iPhone 16e, and Scott Stein of CNET discusses the end of the Humane AI Pin. - NVIDIA is collaborating with the American Society for Deaf Children and creative agency Hello Monday to develop Signs, an online platform that uses AI to help people practice and understand American Sign Language.
