This week on the GeekWire Podcast, we discuss Amazon's new licensing agreement with The New York Times to train its AI platforms, a notable move in the evolving relationship between media and tech.
We also go behind the scenes at two very different office spaces that reflect changing approaches to the workplace: Microsoft's sprawling and still-developing Redmond campus, and Remitly's globally inspired new headquarters in downtown Seattle.
We start the show on a lighter note, with a confession about computer mouse loyalty and a debate over whether a trackpad is good enough in a pinch.
