Jay-Z and Jack Want You To Know Crypto: The Tech Jawn 39

Is Google’s artificially intelligent chatbot generator LaMDA showing signs of sentience? Most likely not, but, AI, in general, is getting awfully good at fooling humans.
Jay-Z and Jack Want You To Know Crypto: The Tech Jawn 39

Jack Dorsey and Jaz-Z are teaming up to launch a bitcoin-focused financial literacy program. The Bitcoin Academy will launch in Brooklyn’s Marcy housing projects, have free in-person and online classes, and provide participants with MiFi devices and smartphones.

Apple held its WWDC22 Keynote and we recap some of the new hardware and software coming out in the coming months.

Tesla and about 50% of other companies want their employees back in the office 100% of the time, but, many employees are willing to change jobs and even careers to not have to go back to commuting 5 days a week.

Oregon is shutting down its automated Child Welfare algorithm which disproportionately flags African American children for “mandatory neglect”.

And this week’s Spotlight shines on Professor James West, co-inventor of the electret microphone which today is an industry-standard and used in 90% of all microphone applications.

The Great Resignation Is Leading To Great Opportunities In IT: The Tech Jawn 36

Will Apple be found liable for the permanent hearing loss suffered by a 12-year-old boy wearing AirPods during an Amber Alert?

Google does an about-face when it comes to allowing users to keep their free legacy G Suite Accounts. It does make you jump through a few hoops though.

The Great Resignation is real and it is creating real opportunities for underrepresented communities in IT.

And, this week’s Spotlight focuses on Charley Moore, Founder, and CEO of Rocket Lawyer

----------------------------------------

AI used in a Northwestern study of police departments is showing that a small percentage of officers own a disproportionate share of the misconduct.

The “Chip Shortage” is actually making the chip shortage worse because chip manufacturers can’t get the chips they need to make the chips we need.

The Amazon union saga is far from over as it fires managers who “didn’t prevent” the Staten Island warehouse from organizing right as that union’s leader meets with the president and appears in front of Congress.

And the fall of Roe v. Wade could have big effects on Big Tech. We discuss some of the ways tech companies are scrambling to protect employees, end-users, and the massive amounts of data it collects.

In episode 8 of The Tech Jawn we had the pleasure of interviewing Professor Tonya M. Evans, Forbe's 50 over 50 member, faculty at Penn State Dickinson Law, Host of the Tech Intersect podcast, and cryptocurrency and blockchain expert.

Professor Evans dropped so many gems in this interview that we still regularly get comments and questions on it.

Before the cast of The Tech Jawn returns from our holiday hiatus the week of Jan. 10th we wanted to play our full interview with Professor Evans, including the Patreon member only After Show.

TikTok settled a $92 million class-action lawsuit for collecting your personal data without asking you.

Tesla Owners get locked out of their cars due to “accidentally increased verbosity of network traffic”. This is a reason why you should probably keep a key card close by.

3G wireless service is being shut down next year. This won’t mean much to smartphone users but roughly 30 million Americans are still rocking flip phones.

And, Facebook knew that its algorithms are biased against people of color but chose not to adhere to its own policies on hate speech due to fear of backlash from its conservative partners.
