CyberGuy Interviews a Humanoid, Reviews Apple’s Latest, and Plays Real or AI
I knew I had to start the show with something unexpected... so I interviewed a robot! But not just any robot;The OM-1 humanoid robot is the most sophisticated creation yet from OpenMind, a revolutionary start-up that continues to make waves in the tech world. I talked with Iris – the latest model – alongside her creator Professor Jan Liphardt, to see how she would handle a podcast-style interview. I have to say...I was pretty blown away. She was articulate, respectful, and she even tried her best to be funny! I also break down Apple’s newest releases: what’s impressive (and what’s not) about the iPhone Air 17, whether the 17 Pro Max is really worth it, and how the AirPods Pro 3 stack up with their new heart-rate tracking and noise-canceling tricks. Plus, I test a trash-disposal robot called HARR-E, play a game where I guess if audio clips are real or AI-generated, and react to a few viral videos. Welcome to Beyond Connected! I’m beyond excited to begin this new podcasting journey with you!
