Main Show starts at 6:25

Facebook is testing a £9.99 monthly subscription that would limit how many links non-paying users can share in posts, with capping at two links per month. OpenAI announced that developers may now submit apps to ChatGPT, and those apps will be featured in an app directory, available from the tools menu and at chatgpt.com/apps. Attending a trade show and successfully attending one are two different things. Between 2024 and 2025 YouTube overtook TV as the number one way folks in the U.S. consume video content.

Starring Sarah Lane, Tom Merritt, Robb Dunewood, David Sparks, Roger Chang, Joe.
