24 | Broadcast From Later
From Later strategists are joined by Tobias Revell and Radha Mistry to talk chip shortage takes, moon fakes, and futures with no new music.
Computer Chip Shortages
Canon recently removed microchips from some of their ink-jet cartridges due to a shrinking supply of microchips. Trade embargoes, outdated manufacturing techniques, centralized Chinese production, and ever-shrinking stores of raw materials are all contributing to the shortage; similar problems are occurring in the steel industry. Given the promise of GPU-reliant technologies like AI and The Metaverse, what does a world with an ever shirking silicon supply begin to look like?
Moon Mode
Huawei P30 Pro Periscope camera has introduced an AI assisted "moon mode" to help enhance pictures of the moon taken with the camera. But users insist the AI is actually superimposing an existing moon image over any taken with the camera. Is this just the evolution of AI filters or has Huawei missed the mark?
No More New Music
Music writer Ted Gioia's article Old Music is Killing New Music cites the recent decline of newly produced music and increase of older music taking its place. As classic catalogue values move ever higher and copyright trolls continue to try to cash in on a stolen melody, we speculate on what would a world with no new music would look like?
