In a wide-ranging discussion, the MacVoices Live! panel of Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Marty Jencius, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Eric Bolden, Jim Rea, and Jeff Gamet explores the implications of newly elected Pope Leo XIV wearing an Apple Watch and his comments on AI as a societal challenge. The conversation shifts to SoundCloud’s updated terms allowing AI training on user content, raising ethical concerns about creator rights and compensation. They also unpack the cultural ripple effect of Grand Theft Auto VI’s delayed release and discuss how both religion and entertainment are being reshaped by evolving technology. 


MacVoices is supported by Insta360 and their new Insta360 X5 360° 8K camera. Get a free invisible selfie stick worth $24.99 at store.insta360.com and use the promo code “macvoices”. Selfie stick offer available for the first 30 standard packages.
