Show Notes
Apple unveiled a foldable iPhone. Researchers say an LG smart TV scans your home network and saves audio in standby. And a garage scientist used AI to brew a schizophrenia drug.
I’m Kim Komando, America’s Digital Goddess. Tech news, scams, AI tips and your calls.
This week: Apple’s foldable lands. Retail chains are putting Flock license plate cameras in their parking lots. A researcher quit Anthropic, warning AI could destroy humanity, and the company didn’t argue. Delivery robots hijacked a Chicago sidewalk. Half the country is burning PTO for Grand Theft Auto VI. And an AI-generated Dr. Seuss meme is getting kids arrested.
Plus, the keyboard trick your smart TV never mentioned, how to let AI redesign any room in your house for free, a teenager pulling $15,000 a month from junk removal and how to save a voicemail from someone you love. 25 years after 9/11, that one matters most.
