This week’s AI/XR Podcast featured Randy Marsden, former Apple exec and co-founder of Skidattl, an AR platform for creating geo-anchored virtual signage. Charlie, Rony, and Ted discussed Apple’s AI strategy, Tim Cook criticism, and Skedaddle’s potential as a practical AR utility that doesn’t rely on headsets or complex tools. In the news: Anthropic scored a partial legal victory on fair use, though it still faces potential copyright penalties; Meta saw a major suit dismissed. Charlie recapped his Forbes story on Chronicle, a new studio using AI to analyze fandom data and grow YouTube-native IP into film and TV. He also reviewed new all-in-one video creation platforms—Arcana Labs, Electric Sheep, and MovieFlo—that simplify AI video production. The hosts debated AI “slop” and audience taste, defending the creative potential of emerging workflows despite concerns. Skidattl’s mission to “tag the real world” with lightweight AR won praise for its simplicity and real-world applicability.
