This episode covers the fast-evolving world of tech, media, and AI controversies, starting with OpenAI’s recent legal victory against news outlets over copyright in AI training. We dive into ongoing layoffs in major companies like Nissan, iRobot, and the Mozilla Foundation, while also exploring the demand for $700-a-month sleeping pods in San Francisco and the unexpected pushback Meta faces on a nuclear-powered data center. Rounding out the episode, we touch on media shakeups, from striking NYT workers boycotting Wordle to the eerie AI takeover of a radio station in Poland, along with closing tributes to cultural icons Quincy Jones and Greg Hildebrandt.
