This week on Redesigned, we're asking: are self-checkouts killing customer service? We dive deep into the rise of DIY retail and what it means for our interactions in public spaces. Have we become the unpaid staff?

Plus, we cover the HUGE news: GTA 6 has a release date (yes, it's been delayed... again!), the Fiverr CEO's stark warning about AI job displacement (including his own!), and Bill Gates' prediction of a potential 3-day workweek.

And don't miss the Soundbyte Challenge, taking you back to the nostalgic days of the 1980s.

Tune in for the news, nostalgia, and a healthy dose of tech skepticism.
