Main Show starts at 9:30
Disney plans to shut down the standalone Hulu app and merge it into the Disney+ app next year. Google says internal findings contradict a Pew Research report saying people clicked on fewer links when using Google’s AI overviews. Scott gives us the highlights from Augmented World Expo 2025. And does toxic social media impact young and older users differently?
Starring Sarah Lane, Tom Merritt, Scott Johnson, Roger Chang, Joe.
