Paul Stenhouse: Air taxis during the LA Olympic Games, TikTok's sleep aids, ChatGPT coding
from Saturday Morning with Jack Tame · host Newstalk ZB
How do you get around LA's terrible traffic? From the sky. It'll only be worse for the Olympics, so Archer will be the "official air taxi provider" for the LA28 Games. These look like a small plane, rather than a helicopter, and have a fixed wing with propellers on it that tilt. That means it can take off and land vertically like a helicopter and then transition into forward flight like a plane. These are all electric piloted air taxis, designed to carry up to four passengers and their luggage. The goal is to have these up and running by 2026, then expand the "LA Network" to include the key Olympic sites and transport hubs for the 2028 games. VIPs, athletes, and spectators will be able to take the flights, and they'll provide support for security teams too. They say they will be able to replace one-to-two-hour drives with 10–20 minute electric flights that are 100x quieter than a helicopter. TikTok wants kids to sleep It's so easy to get stuck in a TikTok hole – where does the time go?! Now, after 10pm, kids under 18 will get a reminder that they've been scrolling and even get prompted to take some guided meditation with relaxing music. If you're over 18, you'll be able to toggle it on too - you can select “Sleep Hours” from the Screen Time settings. OpenAI is looking to buy a software coding tool for $3 billion The ChatGPT maker has unveiled a dedicated coding assistant called Codex which is included in the $200 a month plan. Clearly it thinks there is a future for these kinds of tools because it's looking at purchasing a company already offering that service, Windsurf, for $3 billion. Programmers are rapidly embracing AI. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
