Thank you for joining us for another episode of Star42, episode 2.5'ish! Today Jace and Michael discuss some AI news, go into a completely off topic discussion about Intel and Microsoft Windows, give the prediction that the newest iOS will be Apple's version of Windows Vista, and discuss what's going on with the large amounts of tech layoffs.

Jace also has the big and exciting news of his Null Edge virtual conference for Friday, October 17th! This one-day virtual event will bring together some of the brightest minds in the ServiceNow ecosystem to present impactful and valuable topics for the ServiceNow community. Not only that, but word on the street is that a certain bowtie wearing ServiceNow guru will be coming out of retirement to make an appearance!

 Welcome to Star 42 for our May 30th, 2025 episode! Join us as we have a small debate if this is episode 1 or 2, we cover some of the latest news in the tech world when it comes to AI (and don't miss the new Yoda quote), and we cover a demo of Michael's Trivia Now 2.0 game!

As we always state, opinions are those of the hosts and not of any other organization. Everything is unscripted so we're not responsible for horrible dad jokes or awkward moments. But hey, it's just 20-30 minutes, so how bad can it be? 

Our initial episode of Star42 (we're calling it episode 0.5) where we kick-off this new podcast, make introductions, talk a bit about various topics, and purposely don't really do a formal wrap-up as we're looking forward to continuing the discussion for our next episode.

In this episode we discuss Jace's initial AI project from 2023, Michael's Trivia Now 2.0 project presented at the Knowledge 25 conference, some classic gaming and storyline of Doom: The Dark Ages, the fun card game at CreatorCon as part of Knowledge 25, and the intersection of fun and work that gamification creates.
