People love the classes, people love the instructors, people love the sort of real-time competition of it. If you're a Pelaton, can you do the AI thing in a way that doesn't ruin that? So, I think they've been very thoughtful about that because when I went to this event, I had my demo and my demo was with Tundday who is a um cycling instructor, I believe, and she was just like, it's like it's my assistant. The AI is my assistant. I have helped craft these um recommendations. we have had a huge say in like w ...

You can get this TV for free, but there's a catch: it will show you constant ads.

One of the weirdest things about this TV is the AI avatar that appears every time you turn it on to give you a rundown of the latest in pop culture news. I'm Alison and this is your timeline 3. This host is actually the AI likeness of an actress named Allison Fiori.And every day she appears wearing the same dress, the same hairstyle, and even making the same facial expressions. And that's just one aspect of the telly TV that I've been living with over the past few months. This is Telly.It's a 55-in TV that ...

I was like very early in the hoverboard world at this point. And so I was like, "I didn't know how any of this worked." So I take it down to the sidewa ...

The Verge· 2025-10-05 16:01
What was the breaking point for you that you were like, I just this is not an experience I can do anymore. It was almost like not even the ads.

And so, you know, I think it just it became a good shortorthhand f ...
