Radar – by nexxworks: Starlink Skies, AI Companions & China’s Race for Digital Dominance
Description
This week on Radar – by nexxworks, your favourite digital musketeers – Peter, Steven, and Pascal – return with a whirlwind of updates, hot takes, and tech-fueled banter.
Peter’s teasing a new book. Steven's been nerding out on Starlink beaming Wi-Fi into planes (goodbye in-flight boredom!). And Pascal? Let’s just say he’s got thoughts – big thoughts – on China’s AI game.
From robotic marathons to AI therapists with boundary issues, the trio dives deep into the wild, weird, and world-changing shifts in tech. They break down:
How China’s AI strategy is out-iterating the West
Why shopping with OpenAI could make impulse buying dangerously easy
The rise of AI companions (Meta’s Llama gets compared to Dieselgate – yes, really)
What the US–China tech race means for your next online ad
And why AR shopping in China is so much more than gimmicky filters
Toss in a few zingers, a surprising take on yearly AI reviews (should ChatGPT get a performance appraisal?), and reflections on the future of AI scientists vs. human creativity, and you've got a spicy episode not to miss.
Grab your earbuds. It's bold. It's brainy. It's Radar.
