The Tech Jawn: Black Tech Enthusiasts Covering The Week's Tech News And How Tech Affects Black Culture

Your AI, Complete With Ads?

Season 1, Ep. 206
•

OpenAI is temporarily pausing the serving of ads in ChatGPT until it works out the kinks with targeting, but the bigger question is, why are services that we pay for serving up ads in the first place?


We also discuss what happens to children's test scores when their cell phones are banned at school, the Samsung Galaxy Z Trifold and its 10-inch screen, and who will end up buying Warner Bros... Netflix, Paramount, or another player?


Hosts:


Robb Dunewood – @RobbDunewood

Stephanie Humphrey – @TechLifeSteph

Terrance Gaines – @BrothaTech
