Summary

Emily Dreibelbis joins us this week on Tech News Weekly! We are starting to see some effects following Elon Musk's decision to lay off the entire Tesla Supercharger team. Which businesses have begun to benefit from the AI Boom that we're in? What Netflix has learned since expanding from streaming video content into the world of video game publication. And the Recording Industry Assocation of America (RIAA) sues Udio and Suno.

Emily Dreibelbis talks about the fallout from Elon Musk's firing of Tesla's Supercharger team and how car companies that have agreed to use Tesla's Supercharger are starting to be impacted by the change.
Mikah shares an article from The New York Times about businesses profiting from Artificial Intelligence.
Netflix is best known for starting out in the DVD rental business and its vast streaming library. Now, it has entered the video game publishing world, and has learned a lot since delving into it.
Finally, Kate Knibbs from WIRED joins the show to discuss the Recording Industry Association of America's lawsuit against the AI generative music platforms Suno and Udio.
