Dan Moren joins Mikah Sargent this week! XBOX resets itself. Wealthy families are leaning towards AI tutors to better prepare their kids. AI is starting to get into the “Wrapped” trend with users’ data. And New York is the first US state to ban the use of smart glasses in courthouses.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Microsoft laid off thousands more Xbox employees this week, and spun off gaming studios such as Compulsion Games and Double Fine, as the division struggles with thin margins & rising hardware costs.
\n\u2022 Wealthy families are pulling kids from public school for pricey new programs like Alpha School and Forge Prep that swap teachers for AI “guides” and lessons in business skills, despite no data proving they work.

\n\u2022 And New York became the first US state to ban the use of smart glasses in courthouses, following a trend of Illinois drivers and major cruise lines prohibiting the use of camera-equipped smart glasses over recording and safety concerns.<\/p>\n
