Chapter 10 - Part 1 - How did R2D2 get up the stairs?
In this chapter, Scott and Reece kick off Chapter 10 with a deliberately chaotic Grok-written intro, then shift into a tighter “hit the headlines, go deeper where it matters” format. They cover ChatGPT ads and pricing, health features, Claude’s growing autonomy, Siri’s Gemini upgrade, agent skills, age checks, and a Roomba that can climb stairs.
In this episode:
