MacVoices #26235: Live! - Hollywood's AI Future, Microsoft's Super App, and Apple's Quiet Strategy

The MacVoices Live! panel examines Microsoft's aggressive Copilot expansion, comparing its enterprise integration with ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini while contrasting corporate and academic AI adoption. AI's growing role in IT support, productivity, and Hollywood filmmaking, Apple's quieter AI strategy, and concerns over creativity versus automation are all on the agenda. The absurdity of some tech news has the panel looking at Russia's iPhone demands and a stolen Nicolas Cage film hard drive.  Panel members include: Marty Jencius, David Ginsburg, Jim Rea, Chuck Joiner, Eric Bolden, Web Bixby, and Brian Flanigan-Arthurs.
