Andrew: NBA联盟的收入虽然创下纪录，但收视率却在下降。这表明联盟需要调整策略，例如缩短赛季，以提高比赛的吸引力。同时，联盟未能充分利用其文化价值，而其他平台（如播客）从中获益。理想的模式是既能吸引新球迷，又能为重要的比赛制造“害怕错过”的氛围。然而，如何从当前模式过渡到理想模式尚不明确。此外，我从一开始就反对比赛回放，我认为比赛回放是否合适取决于比赛本身是否包含停顿。足球比赛的回放机制破坏了比赛的观赏性，VAR机制延长了比赛时间，并降低了进球的兴奋感。错判争议可以促进讨论和制造“害怕错过”的氛围，这对商业有利。为了改善比赛，可以考虑减少犯规、取消暂停等规则调整。 Ben: 苹果公司推出Apple Intelligence的延迟，主要是因为欧盟的数字市场法案（DMA），而不是人工智能法案。苹果公司认为自己拥有独家数据，因此只有自己才能将人工智能应用于这些数据并提供有价值的产品。苹果公司在欧盟推出产品通常会经历与监管机构的谈判和延迟。Apple Intelligence在美国也面临着DMA的问题，而不是人工智能法案的问题。
