单集简介 ...

You remember when the internet just handed everything over for free. Maps, music, random facts at three in the morning. Nobody asked who was really paying for it. Now AI is flipping the script. The same tools that save time and think alongside people are starting to ask for money. So was free always a trap? Or have we just never considered what it costs to pay for our own intelligence? On the show: Steve, Fei Fei & Yushun

  • Discussion keeps the world turning.

  • This is Roundtable.

  • Remember when the internet just gave us stuff for free?

  • Those were the good old days.

  • Maps, music, random facts at 3 a.m.

  • We never really wondered, though, who was paying the bill.

  • And now AI is changing the game.

  • The tools that save us time and do our thinking, well, they're starting to ask for money.

  • So...

  • Was free always a trap?

  • Or are we just not ready to pay for our own intelligence?

  • Today we look at the end of free and what's coming next.

  • We're live from our studios in Beijing.

  • This is Roundtable.

  • My name is Steve.

  • Hello there.

  • Thanks for being with us today.

  • And for the show, I'm with Yuxin and Fei Fei.

  • First up.

  • For years, the internet spoiled us, did it not?
