It’s time for another exclusive AMA for Verge subscribers, and this time, I’ll be your host. I cover everything from wearables to dystopian cursed tech like at-home urine labs and belligerent AI companions. At times, my job calls for flirting with Grok’s AI girlfriend for 24 hours or coercing weird AI video apps to generate odd French-kissing videos. Other times, I’m making personas of myself in the Vision Pro. I also do normal things, like testing the latest smart glasses, smart rings, and smartwatches. Once in a while, I get away with shitposting about the black Apple Watch Ultra 2. Oh, and I also write the Optimizer newsletter, in which I investigate the wellness Wild West and cut through tech hype about whether this or that innovation will actually make your life better.
If you have any burning questions about the above — or anything about wearable, health, and consumer tech really — I’ll be around starting at 11AM PT/2PM ET. Feel free to leave your questions early in the comments! And if you don’t have questions, come hang out anyway. I love to chat about tech and commiserate about any and all gadget-related existential crises.
