Summary

We further explore the fear people have over generative AI tools by taking a look at what AI firms are doing to stoke those fears. While Netflix saw growth in its North American subscriptions for its service the number abroad has dropped. Is it temporary or signs of a more concerning problem? And Microsoft still hopes it can convince the UK Competition and Markets Authority to allow the company to acquire Blizzard Activision.


Starring Tom Merritt, Sarah Lane, Nate Lanxon, Roger Chang, Amos
