Main Show starts at 3:41

How could AI powered real time sports player tracking impact sports betting? Amazon and Google announce their fall lineups of smart home and entertainment devices. Mark Gurman’s sources say Apple is redirecting resources away from a lighter, cheaper Vision Pro headset towards AI-powered smart glasses. And is OpenAI’s Sora 2 just made for copyright infringement?

Starring Sarah Lane, Tom Merritt, Robb Dunewood, Nica Montford, Roger Chang, Joe.
