| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the podcast. Today on the show, the president of Uber says that AI spending is getting |
| 0:05.0 | harder to justify. I want to break down some of the numbers of how much they're actually |
| 0:08.4 | spending and the ROI people are expecting and what they're actually getting. At the same time, |
| 0:13.5 | we have Pope Leo who released this entire AI document, and it's kind of targeting tech power |
| 0:19.2 | concentration. I'm going to talk about some of the |
| 0:21.3 | things that are mentioned in there, some things that people like and don't like. About 85% |
