What is the best product Amazon released this week?

Amazon releases galore. Alexa what are you most excited for?

This week Amazon announced all kinds of products including products that put Alexa in your ears, on your eyes, you can have rings, and all sorts of other products. So, all over the place. What am I most excited for? I like the competition in headphones, so I suppose, Alexa in your ears. I feel like headphones have been improving quite a bit, kind of quietly. So that's good.

Will people really walk around and talk to Alexa all day?

Of course they will. They talk to their phones. Fundamentally the problem for Amazon is they don't have a phone. And so they're trying to get gadgets on the rest of your body. We walk around all day talking to our phones so we might talk to these gadgets.

Should I be concerned Amazon has ears everywhere?

Of course you should be concerned. Even if Amazon was a company that had always prioritized privacy, and it was really baked into the Amazon DNA, you should be worried. And that's not the case. Amazon has never been that strong on privacy. So yes, worry. But if you love the products use them.

Listen: On this episode of the GZERO World Podcast, while the Gaza war rages on with no end in sight, Ian Bremmer and three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman discuss how it could end, who is standing in the way, and what comes next. It may seem premature to talk about a resolution to this conflict, but Friedman argues that it is more important now than ever to map out a viable endgame. "Either we're going to go into 2024 with some really new ideas,” Friedman tells Ian, “or we're going back to 1947 with some really new weapons."

Ian Bremmer's Quick Take: On the back of the Israeli Defense Forces strike killing seven members of aid workers for the World Central Kitchen, their founder, Chef Jose Andres, is obviously very angry. The Israelis immediately apologized and took responsibility for the act. He says that this was intentionally targeting his workers. I have a hard time believing that the IDF would have wanted to kill his workers intentionally. Anyone that's saying the Israelis are only to blame for this—as well as the enormous civilian death toll in this war–I strongly disagree.
