#SGGQA 306: Threads Crazy Growth, Sarah Silverman Sues OpenAI, Evernote Layoffs, Google Tensor Going to TSMC, Sony AX7 Speakers

2 hours 39 minutes

Video Replay on Twitch

Happy Monday!

Threads is growing like crazy, but what concerns might we have for a new social media platform from Meta? Evernote is scaling way back on staff, and moving operations to Europe. Google is looking to ditch Samsung for a future Tensor chip. Scientists believe we might have found evidence of alien intelligence here on Earth. I spent some time reviewing the Sony AX7 Portable Speaker system.

And I want to spend a little time in the SomeGadgetGuy mailbag!

Let's get our tech week started right!
