Main Show starts at 6:36
Meta announced Thursday it’s redesigning Facebook Marketplace with collaborative tools. Spotify is launching a feature for its audiobooks, called Recaps, which will appear once you’ve listened to about 15-20 minutes of a book. Molly Wood discusses how power is the biggest barrier to AI infrastructure growth, not chips. And has Google recently made an about-face when it comes to how it handles Android apps, especially sideloaded ones?
Starring Sarah Lane, Tom Merritt, Robb Dunewood, Molly wood, Len Peralta, Roger Chang, Joe.
