Podcasts about Big Tech

Has Big Tech become too powerful? Amazon, Apple, Alphabet, Meta, and Microsoft shape how we shop, communicate, and consume information. But has their dominance gone too far? Advocates argue these firms are monopolies that harm competition, exploit consumer data, and wield disproportionate influence over public discourse. Structural reforms would restore fairness and innovation. But critics warn that breakups could damage user experience, slow innovation, and disrupt integrated ecosystems people rely on. Now we debate: Should the U.S. Government Break Up Big Tech? Arguing Yes:   Bharat Ramamurti, Founder of The Bully Pulpit; Former Deputy Director of the National Economic Council   Matt Stoller, Director of Research at the American Economic Liberties Project     Arguing No:   Geoffrey A. Manne, President and Founder of the International Center for Law & Economics  Jennifer Huddleston, Senior Fellow in Technology Policy at the Cato Institute    Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates    Visit OpentoDebate.org to watch more insightful debates.   Subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed on our curated weekly debates, dynamic live events, and educational initiatives.  Learn more about your ad choices.

A shift in mindset can help investors cope with market uncertainty.2025 was a case study in the futility of trying to predict the market. Wall Street had lofty expectations for stocks entering the year. Then the tariff shock in April rattled the markets and many firms lowered their annual stock forecasts in response. They later raised them—after stock prices rebounded. With the new year on the horizon, Morningstar's 2026 Global Outlook report is offering investors tactics to weather whatever the future may hold.Morningstar strategists and an analyst will discuss key challenges facing investors in 2026 in our series. Dan Kemp, the chief research and investment officer with Morningstar Investment Management Europe, is one of the major driving forces behind the report.We're going to dig into research analyzing the AI arms race and its worldwide buildout. A team of Morningstar researchers have investigated the spending and the risks. Morningstar Research Services' senior equity analyst Brian Colello was part of the effort. Brian also covers Nvidia. He discusses the AI king's outlook, competition, and stock.AI Arms Race: How Tech's Capital Surge Will Reshape the Investment Landscape in 2026 On this episode:00:36:00 Welcome00:01:48 We typically talk about your Markets Brief column, but today we're focusing on “Morningstar's 2026 Global Investment Outlook.” The theme is “preparing for what comes next.” What will investors looking for ways to cope with uncertainty find in this in-depth report? 00:02:35 What makes Morningstar's outlook different from other companies? 00:03:21You've written about how a few ideas from the global investment report resonated with you. What are they, and why? 00:05:01 As we wrap up our conversation, what's a lesson from 2025 that you want investors to take into 2026?00:07:13 Big Tech companies are spending hundreds of billions of dollars on the global construction boom. Where'sthe money going, and how does this spending compare to other sectors like energy? 00:08:20 This massive buildout comes with execution and cost risks. What's at stake if hyperscalers underestimate these challenges? 00:09:54 How is AI affecting sector valuations? How does it compare to the tech bubble in the late 1990s? 00:12:18 Morningstar believes many investors are already heavily exposed to AI due to Big Tech's size in broad stock indexes. How can folks counteract that? 00:14:31Let's pivot to the AI industry leader, Nvidia. The chipmaker's stock took a big hit when DeepSeek arrived in January. Nvidia became the world's first $5 trillion company in October. What are your thoughts about the year Nvidia is having? 00:17:20 Rival chipmaker Moore Threads recently made its market debut in China. What would it mean for Nvidia if China comes out with more advanced chips? 00:20:12 Interest is growing in Alphabet's AI chips. Can Nvidia fend off competition from one of its customers?00:23:30 What is your outlook for Nvidia and other chipmaker stocks?

There's a word that's gained a lot of popularity in the last year: “ensh*ttification”. It refers to a trajectory many see with digital platforms: they initially offer immense value to users, only to systematically degrade that quality over time in order to extract maximum surplus for shareholders. We invited the coiner of this term, science fiction author and activist Cory Doctorow, on the podcast to discuss whether he thinks this decline is an inevitable feature of digital markets or a consequence of specific policy failures. And, most importantly, how he thinks it could be reversed.For Doctorow, "ensh*ttification" is not simply a result of "revealed preferences", where users tolerate worse service because they value the platform, but rather the outcome of a regulatory environment that has permitted the creation of high switching costs and the elimination of competitors. Doctorow also argues that historically, interoperability acted as an engine of dynamism, allowing new entrants to lower the barriers to entry. But current IP frameworks, such as anti-circumvention laws, have been "weaponized" to prevent this, effectively allowing firms to enforce cartels and engage in rent-seeking behavior.Finally, Doctorow offers a critical assessment of the current AI boom, arguing that the sector is creating "reverse centaurs", where human labor is conscripted to correct algorithmic errors, and warns of a potential asset bubble driven by inflated revenue attribution.

Episode 88 The U.S. government is considering an executive order that could severely limit each state's ability to protect its residents, so Haley and Dani take a closer look at why this is a serious threat to safety – especially for kids. A.I. is developing at a rapid rate, and it's essential that we don't repeat the same mistakes we made when previous technological leaps were made. At the dawn of the internet, smart phones, and social media, protection for the most vulnerable was a low priority when compared to profit and innovation. We need to speak up now before lawmakers and Big Tech create another accountability shield like Section 230. *DONATE to NCOSE to join this movement: https://EndSexualExploitation.org/Donate  *Read the letter that over 20 organizations signed urging the President NOT to sign this executive order: https://ifstudies.org/blog/mr-president-its-time-to-put-kids-first-in-ai-policy  *A.I.

It's time for us to jump from the hijacked plane of the Republican Party and parachute into a new party. Today, I ruminate over the infamous “Flight 93” essay of 2016 to show how that election was actually not the inflection moment. This one is. If conservatives do not evacuate from this terrible party, they will lose red states, communists will take over, and we won't even have a chance to rebuild until at least 2029, after it's too late. I also discuss how Republicans are suffering worse electoral reprisal from pushing Big Tech economic policy than they would have incurred by fulfilling the original promise to cut the debt and entitlements and rebalance the economy away from the Mag 7 companies to small business.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Lionel and Lynn Shaw (Lynn's Warriors) expose the seismic, overlooked threats posed by Big Tech and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to American youth and families. Learn how unscrupulous tech predators view your children's "soul as nothing more than data to harvest and profit to extract". The discussion covers the explosive dissension in Washington regarding a federal executive order that wiped out 50 state AI laws, handing total control to Washington and stripping states of child safety guard rails. Furthermore, they analyze the massive consolidation of cultural power if one corporation absorbs a century of storytelling (including Looney Tunes and Harry Potter), potentially feeding AI algorithms that saturate childhood with targeted content and emotional hooks. Lynn details the misleading app store ratings, Apple's intentionally complex 31-step child safety settings, and the rise of AI-generated content (like the AI model Tilly Norwood and number-one hit songs) replacing human creativity.

Dive into the seismic threats posed by Big Tech and Artificial Intelligence, where unscrupulous tech predators view your children's "soul as nothing more than data to harvest and profit to extract". Lionel exposes the explosive political fight over a federal executive order that stripped states of child safety guard rails and details how massive corporate consolidation could feed AI algorithms with a century of storytelling (including Looney Tunes and Harry Potter). Then, explore the critical decline of education, the loss of cognitive skills like cursive writing, and the existential threat of AI. From the terrifying realities of modern delivery culture (like the Amish Buggy Amazon Cart) to uproarious recollections of Catholic school—including the wisdom of bribing teachers and astonishing facts about St. Drogo, the patron saint of ugly people and coffee—this is essential insight into how we think and how we must fix our ability to think.

Can ChatGPT dethrone Gemini? Is Tim Cook capable of leading Apple into the next wave of AI? As 2025 winds down, journalist and podcast host Kara Swisher joins Rapid Response to cut through the noise and decode what's really happening across OpenAI, Meta, Google, and more. Swisher also sizes up the state of Disney, Netflix, and the escalating bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery. And in classic Swisher fashion, she doesn't hold back — weighing in on Elon Musk's eye-popping potential pay package, Mark Zuckerberg's costly misfires at Meta, and what the future of AI means for human health and cognition.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We launched PAXIS yesterday as the answer to the cruelty and lawlessness of ICE. In our first 24 hours, we raised over $7,000 to launch this new AI-powered, know-your-rights tool for immigrants (and citizens!) facing down ICE. We did it with no media outreach, no massive PR campaign, no big donors—just me talking to you, and you responding. Why? Because Trump can't stop hundreds of thousands or even millions of us.

They'll get into the slow erosion of optimism around the internet as a democratizing force, the state of antitrust enforcement in America, and what it might look like if we stop allowing big companies to nickel and dime the public unchecked.

It’s Deactivation Week!! On December 10th in Australia (which is really December 9 in the US), the first-ever social media ban will take effect. The major platforms are required by law to deactivate the accounts of children and teens under 16. Kelly reviews the details of the new law, the pushback from Big Tech, advocacy groups, parents, and teens, and why all of this is so important. While we watch and see how this works in Australia, here are some takeaways: Do not wait for the government to save your kids from social media. Social Media is optional for you, too, parents! The burden is on Big Tech, but the opportunity is still on you. Expect pushback, but persevere. Fill the void with real life.

If conservatives remain trapped in the Trump-Vance GOP, they will continue to suffer all the liabilities of Big Tech venture socialism with all the political liabilities that will turn more voters into Democrats. We need a new party built upon natural living and natural markets to move away from the fake, asset-bubble economy championed by both parties, including Trump. Today, I vividly diagnose exactly how the government uses federal pensions, artificially low interest rates, public and private debt, and numerous regulatory policies to destroy the middle class and small business. The economy is analogous to an AI hallucination bubble that is like a self-licking ice-cream cone and continues to create monopolies. A new party, untethered from the GOP's past, could crush the Democrats using this message and vision.    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

My guest today is entrepreneur and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman. He's now facing something most tech business people never imagine: being personally targeted by a sitting president's Department of Justice. Reid and I talk through the rise of politically motivated prosecutions, the erosion of trust in institutions, and how social media and AI have accelerated our collective slide into suspicion. We get into deepfakes, vaccine skepticism, the inequality debate, and whether billionaires should exist at all. Reid also walks me through what it's like to wait for an indictment he believes is purely retaliatory. This is a conversation about democratic guardrails, not partisan talking points—and about what happens when political power becomes personal. Learn more about your ad choices.

THE PRIDE of a king who elevated himself above what God ordained left King Uzziah with a debilitating disease. Uzziah, also called Azariah, ruled the kingdom of Judah 792–742 BC. He was a good king for most of his reign until pride got the better of him. He dared to offer incense in the Temple, a function reserved for the priests. As a result, he was afflicted with leprosy the rest of his life.

Khi đồng hồ đếm ngược đến ngày 10 tháng 12 năm 2025, Úc chuẩn bị thực thi lệnh cấm mạng xã hội dưới 16 tuổi mang tính đột phá. Đây là động thái tuyên chiến với quyền lực của các gã khổng lồ Big Tech nhằm bảo vệ sức khỏe tâm thần của thế hệ trẻ. Tuy nhiên, quyết định táo bạo này không chỉ gây ra một cơn địa chấn kinh tế tại Canberra. Nó còn đặt ra câu hỏi lớn chưa từng có cho Châu Á – lục địa có dân số trẻ kết nối mạng đông đảo nhất thế giới – về việc liệu có nên thiết lập lằn ranh số 16 tuổi hay không.

In this episode, we delve into pressing issues with Senator Marsha Blackburn from Tennessee, who discusses her new legislation aimed at protecting children online from predatory practices by big tech companies. We also hear from Congressman Pete Stauber, who highlights a shocking welfare fraud case in Minnesota involving significant sums of taxpayer money. Additionally, we explore the implications of the current economic climate with insights from Shannon Davis of American Alternative Assets.

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1289 THE GENOME GRAB: How Government, Big Tech & Big Medicine Are Claiming Your Child's DNA Tonight on Strange Planet, we expose a quiet revolution unfolding in American medicine — one that could redefine parenthood, privacy, and human identity itself. The U.S. government, backed by Big Medicine, Big Tech, and Big Data, is laying the groundwork for mass newborn genome sequencing: decoding nearly every letter of a child's DNA at birth and storing it indefinitely. Attorney and child-welfare advocate Leah Wilson joins me to reveal how this program works, who profits, and why parents may soon lose control over their children's biological destiny. This isn't science fiction. It's happening now — and the stakes couldn't be higher. GUEST: Leah Wilson, JD, is an attorney, child-welfare advocate, and co-founder of Stand for Health Freedom, the organization currently suing the CDC in a landmark challenge to federal vaccination policy. She is one of America's most fearless voices exposing how genomic data is harvested, stored, and weaponized under the banners of “precision medicine” and “public health.” Wilson is also co-author of Reclaim Vitality, written with her husband, Dr. Nick Wilson, revealing how families can exit the machinery of conventional medicine. Her work uncovers a chilling reality: a global genetic arms race is already underway — and our children are on the front lines.

Bitcoin's down, so the Lessins turned down the heat and pulled out their winter gear. The More or Less squad jumps from SF's drone-powered crime-fighting memes (Daniel Lurie's “no drugs” moment) to how creator-content strategy now drives real deal flow. Jess says 2026 will split the AI tide (we unfortunately did have to touch on AI), with Meta's missing enterprise story dragging its CapEx dreams, while AWS is suddenly courting founders again. From Apple's design chief Alan Dye jumping to Meta to questioning whether OpenAI's “code red” was a decoy, the squad never misses when it comes to the latest thinking in Silicon Valley.Buy Slow's Modern Etiquette book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G4HSKSY5Chapters:Chapters:01:10 Kudos to SF Mayor, Daniel Lurie!07:14 Doom scrolling on a Garmin watch12:34 Holiday gift guides: AI robots, Duolingo piano, Matic vac mop, etc14:30 The creator-VC playbook 21:27 Instagram RTO 5 days per week leadership reality check22:08 Alan Dye leaves Apple for Meta 26:09 Jess' 2026 prediction: The Big Tech divergence is coming27:46 Meta's enterprise gap28:46 AWS outreach to Sam: Bedrock Nova and startup credits31:45 Sam Altman's code red memo -- is it a decoy?33:51 Gemini latency vs GPT why speed matters for Brit (Ad opp?)44:39 Is Aaron Levie for or against AI?46:40 Waymo's safety report and Dave's FSD usage51:21 Recapping the Slow holiday party + Offline's next58:28 Slow's Modern Etiquette Book plug (Link to purchase: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G4HSKSY5)We're also on ↓X: https://twitter.com/moreorlesspodInstagram: https://instagram.com/moreorlessYouTubeConnect with us here:1) Sam Lessin: https://x.com/lessin2) Dave Morin: https://x.com/davemorin3) Jessica Lessin: https://x.com/Jessicalessin4) Brit Morin: https://x.com/brit

Cory Doctorow has spent decades helping to shape the way we think about the modern internet. He is a campaigner against monopolies, surveillance and digital rights. His new book Enshitification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It analyses how the internet giants have captured us and become not quite as good as we had thought they were. On this episode of Ways to Change the World, Krishnan Guru-Murthy speaks to Cory about the broken systems we are living in and what we can do to try and make things better.Strong language warning.

So many of the right-leaning TikTokkers who foisted Trump upon us under the promise of standing for the common man are now realizing that he is doing the exact opposite. But they are forgetting that it didn't have to be this way, even as they prepare to make the same mistake by canceling the next primary. I go back to the 2022 midterms to show how that election and its aftermath was the ultimate inflection point. We could have rebuilt the party with new faces and new policies, but Trump came back, saddled us with Kevin McCarthy, Mike Johnson, and everyone else, and now his supporters blame all those names for our woes while forgetting the top of the food chain. Next, I discuss Florida's AI bill of rights and how it contrasts with the cronyism in the White House led by David Sacks. Imagine if we had a party with a leader who actually spoke for the people on issues related to electricity prices, land use, and parental control over chatbots rather than pimping Big Tech. After all, isn't that what we were promised all along? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Send Bidemi a Text Message!In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde spoke with Jake Ward, co-founder of the Developers Alliance, to unpack how tech policy battles quietly shape the lives and livelihoods of developers around the world. They explore why AI regulation will determine which startups survive, how fragmented privacy laws can unintentionally crush small innovators, and why lawmakers who think they're targeting Big Tech often end up hurting the little guys instead. Jake also shares practical ways independent developers can "get a seat at the table" in policy conversations.Support the show

On today's episode, we break down one of the most widely used market internals: the TRIN (Arms Index). What does it actually tell you? How should traders interpret it? And—most importantly—does it work as a real-time trading tool? I'll walk you through how professionals use TRIN to read market pressure, identify turning points, and separate noise from true momentum. We'll also tackle a big viewer question about Kevin Hassett, now emerging as a leading candidate for Federal Reserve Chair—and what his policy stance could mean for interest rates, inflation, and overall market direction. Plus, we'll look at Microsoft's weakening outlook on AI, why it surprised Wall Street, and how it might reshape the competitive landscape for Big Tech. Listen now:

Tim and Mary take on a news cycle that pauses just long enough to acknowledge the rabbit hole of Big Tech. This has to be the case, because so much of what we do and see and hear is undergirded by this infrastructure, which has been building for 100 years. It’s so very interesting from a prophecy perspective, that the world is obsessed with tech, algorithms, and control of our everyday lives. Today we talk about Trump’s recent Ai executive order, “The Genesis Mission”. People are just delusional enough to think it will make life better. It will not, it cannot. In that vein, we discuss “The United States of Delusion” that explains in simple terms just how manipulated we really are in our thinking on a wide range of social issues. Then along comes a woman who was married to a Schwab-ite and she blows the lid off that level of manipulation via the WEF. Sensing a theme here, as always we want more than ever to keep you from being deceived. What a world.
