TWiT 1105: Agents Gone Wild - Windows' New Surface Laptop Ultra & RTX Spark Dev Box!

Janko RoettgersGUEST
so they're doing the same thing where you have like an agent running on a dedicated machine and i started to slowly carefully my first step was actually to make a dedicated email address so i don't have to give an agent access to all my emails i can selectively forward the stuff that I don't care about as much or that might be useful or we can make some compromise.

Janko RoettgersGUEST
So can it help me with bills and can it help me with this and that? It's actually interesting this week, somebody I forgot who it was, but on LinkedIn, had an interesting message where they were like, or interesting post saying, all these companies, all the examples are always like, plan a road trip for me, plan a family outing.

Well, they don't have the glasses yet, but eventually that's, I think where they want to go.

No, I, I think it's gonna be interesting to see w- how aggressively they are going to push this and whether then it's really about making money with ads or converting people who are tired of ads.

Janko RoettgersGUEST
'Cause like coming from the media space or writing about the media space a lot, there's basically all those two models, right? There's Spotify and there's YouTube, and YouTube's makes the vast amount of their money with advertising and Spotify makes 90% of their money with, with subscriptions and 10% with advertising 'cause this has never been that successful.

Janko RoettgersGUEST
They have a lot of people on the free tier, but ultimately it's about annoying you so much that eventually you're gonna pay because you don't wanna listen to yet another ad, like in your stream and yet another ad.

Janko RoettgersGUEST
So the question is like, are they gonna like put so many ads in there that you're like, "Fine, I give up.
