Welcome to Bytes
A small note from Betaworks Studios to share: the man behind the MSCHF, today’s events, Fox Sports to use virtual fans, high output founders library, refresh your mask game, and a moment of zen.
The Man Behind the MSCHF
Few companies understand the ebb and flow of internet culture like MSCHF. We're big fans of their content drops, but calling them a content creation company doesn't feel it does them justice. Bijan Stephan sat down with founder Gabriel Whaley for a comprehensive profile on MSCHF from the Verge. They talk ideation the ideation process behind MSCHF products, the hit record of a company that doesn't repeat itself, and where the money is coming from.
Check the latest MSCHF drop too. Alexagate, an Alexa add-on that jams the microphone. Keep Bezos ears out of your home.

Fox Sports to Use Virtual Fans We've seen the cardboard cutouts in the stands of some MLB spring training games, we've seen the stuffed animals in the stands of Japanese baseball games, we've heard the piped in crowd noise.

Virtual fans will be in attendance during Fox Sports MLB broadcasts and the clips look like you're watching a friend play MLB The Show 20 on PS4.
