Main Show starts at 6:17

Bandcamp announced on Reddit Tuesday that AI-generated music would not be allowed on their platform. Will other platforms like Spotify or Apple Music follow suit? And Apple has officially teamed up with Google to use Gemini to power Apple Intelligence. Plus Substack introduced a beta app for Apple TV and Google TV, letting subscribers watch creator videos and livestreams on a television. Is this a sign that Substack feels the future is video?
Starring Sarah Lane, Tom Merritt, Robb Dunewood, Nica Montford, Len Peralta, Roger Chang, Joe.
