His point in this article is that it's actually better for you as a user of generative AI

when you're interacting with a chatbot to use polite language.

And I actually used the opposite approach.

I was like, I'm not talking with a human here.

I can be a real asshole.

Yeah, that's how I am too.

Hi, and welcome to Geekwire. I'm Geekwire co-founder Todd Bishop. And I'm Geekwire co-founder John Cook.

We're coming to you from Seattle, where we get to report each day on what's happening around us in business,

technology, and innovation. What

happens here matters everywhere. And every week on this show, we talk about some of the most

interesting stories and trends in the news. Coming up this week, Andy Jassy, Amazon CEO,

tries to make the case that the company is not catching up in AI, but is actually ahead, and that generative AI will be a driver of growth for Amazon going forward.

We'll hear and assess his comments later on in the show.

But first, John, let's talk about something that's coming up for Geekwire that folks should know about because they could potentially take part in it if they're in the Seattle area.

Geekwire's rooftop barbecue is coming up on August 9th here in Seattle.

Tell us about this event.

Well, yeah, it's our annual barbecue taking over a beautiful rooftop deck in the Pioneer Square neighborhood.

We're going to have a lot of fun prizes, giveaways, special guest,

which I guess we'll give a special little teaser here. Well, I'll just tell you who it is.

Who's coming out? We're going to interview John Stanton, the venture capitalist, wireless pioneer,

and owner of the Seattle Mariners. And one of the reasons he's joining us is because after the

rooftop barbecue, we have some tickets available to go to the Mariners. And so we have a big block of tickets going to the Mariners game. And hopefully they're going to be surging into that final wild card playoff spot by then. Yeah. You went and saw him this past week. You saw him beat the Red Sox. Yeah, that was a great game. Yes. Yes. So, yeah, it's a lot of fun. We're going to have about 400 folks out on the, on the deck of First Mode, which is a really, really cool office space. And great barbecue, awesome views, a few beverages. And it's looking like it's going to be a great Seattle summer day. So come out and join us and just go to geekwire.com slash events to look for your tickets.
