Better Offline CES 2025: Day 2

<p>Welcome to Better Offline&rsquo;s coverage of the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show - a standup radio station in the Venetian with an attached open bar where reporters, experts and various other characters bring you the stories from the floor. In the second episode, Ed Zitron is joined by Health Physicist Phil Broughton, actual priest Gabriel Mosher, journalist Ed Ongweso Jr., and eventually Robert Evans and Gare Davis of It Could Happen Here, to talk about turning our health into an analytics nightmare, the amount of made-up stuff on the floor, how we beat the generative AI slop, and something called a "suicide helicopter."&nbsp;</p> <p>Ed Ongweso Jr.: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/bigblackjacobin.bsky.social">https://bsky.app/profile/bigblackjacobin.bsky.social</a><br />Robert Evans: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/iwriteok.bsky.social">https://bsky.app/profile/iwriteok.bsky.social</a><br />Gare Davis: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/hungrybowtie.bsky.social">https://bsky.app/profile/hungrybowtie.bsky.social</a><br />Gabriel Mosher: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/eighthway.com">https://bsky.app/profile/eighthway.com</a><br />Phil Broughton: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/funranium.bsky.social">https://bsky.app/profile/funranium.bsky.social</a></p> <p>Linda Yaccarino&rsquo;s CES Speech: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R9LtHiZ74w">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R9LtHiZ74w</a><br />Meta ends fact-checking program: <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/meta-ends-fact-checking-program-community-notes-x-rcna186468">https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/meta-ends-fact-checking-program-community-notes-x-rcna186468</a></p> <p>---</p> <p>LINKS: <a href="https://www.tinyurl.com/betterofflinelinks">https://www.tinyurl.com/betterofflinelinks</a></p> <p>Newsletter: <a href="https://www.wheresyoured.at/">https://www.wheresyoured.at/</a></p> <p>Reddit: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/BetterOffline/">https://www.reddit.com/r/BetterOffline/</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>Discord: <a href="https://discord.com/invite/QUUQUP9szv">chat.wheresyoured.at</a></p> <p>Ed's Socials:</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/edzitron">https://twitter.com/edzitron</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/edzitron">https://www.instagram.com/edzitron</a></p> <p><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/edzitron.com">https://bsky.app/profile/edzitron.com</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.threads.net/@edzitron">https://www.threads.net/@edzitron</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
