2024 in tech: The AI hype train stalls

This week, we're looking back at our hellish 2024 and trying to figure out where to go from here. We began the year with enormous hype around artificial intelligence, but that's cooled off after seeing how useless many AI features have been. It's also clear that many companies, including Microsoft and Apple, are trying to push half-baked AI concepts onto users. Looking forward, we're expecting a rough few years for the tech industry (not to mention the world as a whole). 2024 in review: AI hype hasn’t led to much and the social media vibes are in flux – 1:12What we’re looking forward to in 2025 – 21:43Tiktok appeals its ban all the way to the US Supreme Court – 29:53TP-Link routers are being investigated by US authorities – 32:39Quick thoughts from last week’s Game Awards – 35:35Working on – 38:26Pop culture picks – 39:17Interview with Tim Miller and Dave Wilson of Prime’s Secret Level – 49:20
