Yup- this was recorded back in the day. Before it all changed. Before... THREADS.
Hillel: (Free stuff that) Joby (gave him)Itamar: More or Less Podcast, featuring the Morins and LessinsGuy: Dave
Those were simpler times, eh? When Twitter was *the* place to post inane thoughts in 280 characters, and Bluesky, Post, etc. were all trying to catch up. Ahhhh yes, simpler times.
Now by the time this goes live, who knows? Maybe Threads will be so big that Meta will be renamed to "Threads"? WHO KNOWS, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN AT THIS POINT!?!
Also, we'd like to remind everyone that we bear no responsibility for Hillel's views, and we've even created a direct link to complain to him on Twitter about how silly and out of touch some of his opinions are here. Please, use it!

A non-political episode! (Mostly). Lots more BinGPT in the news, and unfortunately more layoffs... And Hillel was back on his phone way too much. Classic.

Well, we all agreed it was unfortunate for politics to mix with tech news. But the news is the news, so after a few weeks off (and you'll find out why), Hillel was ready to explode. We let him rant! He also called in from his car, so apologies for the sound quality (and perhaps for what he said too ;)

I know, pretty predictable to have a predictions show. (See what we did there?)
And we can't really give it all away here in the show notes, so you'll just have to listen... But, we can say that things got weirdly heated again when the topic of TikTok and China came up đ€·ââïž

It took a year, and all Itamar had to do was click 1 button... and now he found out that 5G is actually fantastic. Old news, right? Don't get me started.
Amazon lays off 10,000+ people https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/17/amazon-ceo-andy-jassy-says-layoffs-will-continue-into-next-year.html Twitter reinstates Kanye and TrumpSimilarWeb lays off 10%- but not just a layoffs story- their CEO put out a blog post about the future of WFH, and there's a whole debate around it https://www.calcalistech.com/ctechnews/article/byxc011mii
It's unfortunate that there are more layoff stories in the news, but them's the times. Layoffs, Twitter stuff, etc.- it's all crazy it seems. But as usual, take comfort in this 60th episode of your favourite tech podcast.
