We've been talking about the Paramount Skydance/Warner Brothers Discovery/Netflix Billionaire Boys Club Spectacular for a few days now. But it's really worth digging into the details to understand how all of this could reshape our media diets – and our politics. If Netflix buys Warner Bros. Discovery, that could be very bad news for Hollywood. But if Paramount buys Warner Bros. Discovery, the Trump-supporting Ellisons would own: CBS, CNN, HBO, Paramount, DC Studios, TNT Sports, Warner Bros., Oracle and a whole bunch more. It's basically a big, complicated mess — so to unpack what it means for consumers and why on earth President Trump is involved, we spoke to Ben Smith. He's co-founder and editor-in-chief of Semafor, and host of the Mixed Signals podcast.And in headlines, Trump brings his economic message to the American people on the first stop of his affordability tour, the Supreme Court hears arguments over campaign finance limits, and will Americans follow Australia's footsteps and ban social media for children?Show Notes:Check out Mixed Signals – https://tinyurl.com/ycxvkz6fCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

El viernes pasado Netflix anunció un acuerdo para adquirir las divisiones de estudios de cine y televisión y el servicio de streaming HBO Max de Warner Bros por 72.000 millones de dólares, un importe que asciende a los 82.700 millones si incluimos la deuda. La transacción, en efectivo y acciones, valora cada acción de Warner Bros en 27,75 dólares, es decir, por encima de lo que se están pagando en el mercado. Esta operación, aprobada ya por los consejos de ambas compañías, se concretará tras la separación de los activos de redes de cable de Warner (CNN, TNT y Discovery Channel) que conformarán una nueva sociedad llamada Discovery Global. El acuerdo se materializará en unos meses cuando haya pasado el filtro regulatorio. El anuncio es un capítulo más una intensa batalla de ofertas iniciada en septiembre de este año, cuando Paramount Global, presidida por David Ellison, el hijo del dueño de Oracle, Larry Ellison, se ofreció a comprar la compañía en su totalidad. Respaldado por fondos soberanos de Oriente Medio y con lazos con la administración Trump, Paramount ofrecía 30 dólares por acción. Su objetivo era fortalecer Paramount+ sumándole el amplio catálogo de Warner para competir con gigantes como Disney y Netflix. Ellison no se ha dado por vencido. Ayer mismo lanzó una OPA hostil para tentar de nuevo a los accionistas. Si el acuerdo sigue su curso Netflix, pionera del streaming, se fortalecerá apuntalando su liderazgo. Se queda con Warner Bros. Studios, DC Comics, y franquicias legendarias como Harry Potter, Batman, Superman, Juego de Tronos, Friends, The Big Bang Theory, Los Soprano, y clásicos como Casablanca y El Mago de Oz. HBO, fundada en 1972 como un canal premium de cable especializado en series y películas, aporta un archivo inmenso de más de 50 años de producción televisiva. Con presencia en todo el mundo, la fusión crearía una inmensa plataforma de video a la demanda ya que suma los 300 millones de suscriptores de Netflix a los 128 millones de HBO Max y Discovery+. Esto potenciará la retención de usuarios, permitirá reajustes de precios y afectará de lleno a la producción cinematográfica. El acuerdo plantea una serie de interrogantes regulatorios que podrían frustrar la operación. A eso mismo se agarra Paramount, que ha presionado intensamente en Washington acercándose al equipo de Trump. Para Netflix no está todo perdido. El regulador es independiente y ya en el pasado falló a favor de fusiones similares. El hecho es que en un mercado hipercompetitivo en el que Netflix se mantiene a la cabeza pero pierde terreno ante YouTube y Twitch (gratuitos y financiados con publicidad), esta fusión redefine el sector. En principio HBO Max se mantendrá, pero no sabemos durante cuanto tiempo y si seguirá explotando en exclusiva su catálogo. Para los consumidores se reduce el abanico de elección de plataforma y quizá suban los precios. En Hollywood, entretanto, asumen que la industria del entretenimiento es cosa ya de las grandes tecnológicas que poco a poco han terminado haciéndose dueñas de todo.

In this episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra welcomes Dr Sarah Matt, Associate Clinical Professor at Upstate Medical University, health tech strategist, and author of the newly released The Borderless Healthcare Revolution. Dr Matt brings a unique perspective shaped by her experience both in academic medicine and as a former Oracle employee, positioning her at the intersection of clinical care and healthcare technology innovation. https://www.drsarahmatt.com/ This conversation explores the inflection point facing today's generation of physicians—a cohort that has navigated the evolution from paper charts to sophisticated EMRs, and now stands at the threshold of AI-driven healthcare transformation. Dr Matt offers actionable guidance for both healthcare delivery leaders and "builders" creating new technologies, emphasizing that improving access must be integrated from inception rather than retrofitted.

Is reality actually an "alien board game" where we are just "blinking lights in empty space"? In this episode, best-selling author and intuitive expert Colette Baron-Reid joins us to explain why the Universe is a simulation that is constantly talking to you—and why your brain is actively programmed to ignore it. Colette shares incredible stories of apparent "glitches in the matrix," including manifesting a New York Times feature while sitting in a hot tub with zero attachment, followed by an immediate confirmation at exactly 11:11. She breaks down the neuroscience of the Reticular Activating System (RAS)—the "bouncer" in your head that filters out almost all stimuli to keep you sane—and explains how to re-engineer this filter to see the opportunities you are currently blind to. We also dive deep into her raw personal journey from facing addiction and near-homelessness—saved only by a "lasagna miracle"—to almost 40 years of sobriety. She recounts the terrifying moment her father went into a psychic trance at a cocktail party and exposed everyone's affairs, and demonstrates how Oracle cards act as a mirror for the subconscious mind in a live reading.

“You already have it.”We say it all the time. But in this episode, we take that phrase literally. This conversation is Part Two of last week's episode on DNA Awakening, a continuation and deepening of the transmission around Gene Keys, consciousness, and the living codes within you.This conversation is a deep transmission on what it truly means to be guided from within. To recognize yourself as the oracle, the blueprint, the living archive of the universe's intelligence.Drawing from Gene Keys, DNA activation, consciousness science, vitality, health, creativity, and lived experience, we explore the idea that every answer, vision, gift, and next step is already encoded within you. Nothing is missing. Nothing needs to be fetched from outside yourself.If you've ever felt like you're searching for clarity, purpose, healing, or direction, this episode is an invitation to stop looking outward and start remembering inward.In this episode, we explore:What it really means to say “you have it all within you”The inner guidance system and awakening the Oracle withinHow DNA, Gene Keys, and consciousness codes shape your realityWhy visions aren't something to chase but, frequencies asking to activate inside youLight, shadow, and how your gifts evolve through expressionCreativity as a literal life force (and why not creating feels like depression)Vitality as free-flowing energy, not something to “fix” or outsourceWhy health, healing, and trust return when you reclaim authority over your bodyHow inspiration bridges the seen and unseenLearning, mentors, books, and containers as activation mirrors, not pedestalsWhy shadow phases are not failures but, necessary expressions of your codeHow committing to your creative expression synchronizes you with universal energyWhat it looks like to live in alignment with your mission and watch life respondThis episode is raw, expansive, and multi-layered. It's one of those conversations that lands differently depending on where you are in your journey but, no matter what, it will remind you of something essential: You are already carrying the codes. And life is simply showing you where to look.

In this week's episode of WSJ's Take On the Week, co-host Telis Demos is joined by WSJ markets reporter Hannah Erin Lang to discuss the return of investor optimism as the S&P 500 approaches all-time highs ahead of the FOMC's upcoming meeting. They also analyze the next test for the AI trade: earnings from Oracle and Adobe this week. Plus, the U.S. dollar is sliding as the Federal Reserve prepares to cut rates while Japan signals hikes. The hosts discuss how this could drive capital abroad. After the break, Telis sits with Nate Wuerffel, head of market structure and product head for the global collateral platform at BNY, to discuss the Fed's other big decision: How large a balance sheet should it maintain? Wuerffel, a former New York Fed official, explains the mechanics of quantitative tightening and the risks of "scarce” reserves. They explore how liquidity in the "plumbing" of the financial system affects everyday consumers through higher mortgage costs and discuss the importance of a liquid Treasury market in preventing crises like 2023's Silicon Valley Bank failure. This is WSJ's Take On the Week where co-hosts Gunjan Banerji, lead writer for Live Markets, and Telis Demos, Heard on the Street's banking and money columnist, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.

In this CPQ Podcast episode, host Frank Sohn talks with Andreas Westling, CEO and co-founder of Ignize, about how modern AI pricing and CPQ help B2B manufacturers increase EBIT, improve price fairness, and react faster to market volatility. Drawing on more than 20 years of pricing experience, including his time as CEO of Navetti (acquired by Vendavo). Andreas explains why pricing fundamentals haven't changed, but the way manufacturers execute pricing has transformed. He also shares how Ignize supports mid-market and enterprise manufacturers with complex, multinational pricing operations that require both speed and precision. Andreas introduces Ignize's concept of Generative Precision Pricing (GPP) and the role of the Ignizer, a modern engine that turns pricing expertise into data-driven, explainable recommendations. You'll also hear how Ignize integrates with CRM systems such as Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics, ERP systems including SAP, Oracle, and legacy platforms, and CPQ solutions like Tacton to deliver consistent, value-based pricing across the commercial stack. We discuss why black-box AI pricing often fails in B2B manufacturing, and why explainability and transparency are essential to earn trust from pricing teams, product managers, sales, and customers. Andreas also outlines what manufacturers can expect from an Ignize implementation. From 8–12 week quick-start value phases to broader enterprise rollouts, and how modern pricing platforms help companies navigate tariffs, commodity swings, currency shifts, and other forms of market disruption. Ignize also operates on an enterprise-grade security foundation, backed by ISO 27001:2013 certification and SOC 2 Type II compliance, ensuring that sensitive pricing and commercial data is handled with the highest standards of information security and compliance. If you're interested in CPQ, B2B pricing, or how AI can strengthen price quality, win rates, and overall financial performance, this episode is for you.
Alrighty. As Mental Health is at a all time high in the transitioning world we cohabitate, I need to bring attention to THE COST. I just read this really sharp take on the whole therapy conversation in America, and I wanted to break it down for you.The main point is pretty straightforward: the mental-health crisis isn't mostly about a lack of therapy.A PERSONAL NOTE: Hyper Sensational Therapy vs. Real Healing: Why Presence MattersThere's a trend in therapy that prizes spectacle over substance — dramatic techniques, flashy protocols, and quick-fix promises that look impressive but often miss what actually keeps people stuck. I've trained across many modalities — hypnotherapy, trauma‑informed approaches, EMDR, archetypal healing, Internal Family Systems, and more — and I've learned something important: technique alone isn't the point.The core of real change is simple and often quiet. At the heart of my practice is being a natural intuitive and a committed witness, informed by relational neuroscience and energetics.What matters most is presence. Presence is the first and most powerful intervention. When a practitioner can hold steady, attuned, and nonreactive, clients are able to drop the performance and melt into vulnerability. That's when the body speaks, the nervous system moves, and grief, fear, shame, or confusion can be processed rather than re-enacted.Is Therapy Costing You?Money stress, loneliness, and the fact that a lot of the old ways we used to cope (church, bars, big friend groups, family nearby) have basically disappeared.Therapy can be helpful for some people, no question, especially the roughly one in four adults dealing with real mental illness.But it's been turned into this mandatory first step for everyone, almost like a luxury product.The message everywhere online is: you can't date, you can't be happy, you can't even really live until you've spent years and thousands of dollars ‘working on yourself.'And that's starting to feel off.What's interesting is that this same pressure has quietly taken over a lot of spiritual and self-development communities too.You see it all the time now: before you can meditate properly, manifest anything, or even show up to a retreat or a ceremony, you're told you have to ‘do your trauma work first' or ‘heal your inner child.'Therapy-speak has become the new gatekeeper — even in spaces that used to be about direct connection to something bigger.It's like you're not allowed to seek meaning or transcendence until you've paid a therapist to sign off on your emotional résumé.A lot of the happiest countries in the world don't have therapy on every corner.They have strong safety nets, affordable housing, universal healthcare, higher wages, or super tight family and community bonds.When people aren't constantly worried about losing everything, their mental health — and honestly their spiritual life — tends to be a lot richer.Meanwhile, social media is flooded with therapy language (boundaries, attachment styles, trauma, self-care), and most of it comes from people who are actually doing fine.A huge percentage of the mental-health advice on TikTok and Instagram is misleading or flat-out wrong, but it spreads because vulnerability gets clicks and likes.On the access side, the U.S. actually has plenty of therapists overall — more than doctors or dentists per capita.The real problem is cost and distribution: rural areas have almost none, most don't take insurance, and if you're on Medicaid or Medicare you're often out of luck.If you've got money, therapy is as easy as booking a workout class.If you don't, good luck.There's also a growing gender gap.Women are twice as likely to get mental-health treatment, partly because three-quarters of therapists are women, and a lot of guys just don't feel understood in those rooms.Young men in particular are falling behind faster than any other group (education, jobs, relationships, suicide rates), and the loudest cultural voices either ignore them or blame them.So some end up drifting toward the only places that at least pretend to listen, even if those places are toxic.The piece ends with a pretty blunt line: social media platforms and influencers — and honestly a lot of modern spiritual spaces — make more money when people stay anxious and stuck in endless processing.The bigger fixes aren't another app, another $200 session, or another ten-week trauma course.They're economic security, real-life community, fitness, taking social risks, and rebuilding the basic stuff that makes humans feel connected, safe, and open to something deeper.That's the gist of it. I thought it was a refreshingly non-ideological way to look at a conversation that usually gets very heated very fast. I'd love to know your thoughts.If you're curious about finding personalized support that has a foundation in relational neuroscience to support all the working parts of your brain that may be atrophied, and also an intuitive process to integrate the problem-solving you bring to each Oracle guide, then I'd love for you to experience the light between the Oracle journey.Now until Christmas, I'm offering a lifetime subscription for $42, which is a savings of $528.

This Moon brings us some much needed air. After the deep searching on the emotional, psychological, and soul levels, with Mercury in Scorpio, it is now time to shine some light into the areas of our lives that no longer fit. In other words, this Moon offers us a powerful opportunity to remove and release those situations, which may include people who are not really supportive of who you are, or who you are becoming. This is important! With this full moon, it is about balancing the oppositional forces in our lives. In the sign of Gemini, there's always two things vying for our attention. Using this full moon energy, helps to focus our direction, gain clarity and encourages us to use our intuitive insights to understand what is really beneficial and truthful, in our daily experiences.Where in your astrology map are you of two minds about something? Have you been running around asking, researching, looking and questioning, which has resulted in overload? Here are the “astro coordinates” in your “Star Map”. This full moon is positioned at 13 degrees 32 minutes, December 4/5th.Find the house(s) and check out where you have Gemini on the cusp. This house is where you can release internal dialogue, habitual self-talk and mental chatter that needs to be left in the past. This Gemini Moon is helpful in lightening up things. But it's also helping us to see how our mental constructs, beliefs and habits can be the prison bars that keep life from moving forward. This is the Full Moon for releasing the excess information. As we head into 2026, and into the depths of the planetary vibration of the 1 year number, building something real, bringing quality understanding is key. Mercury the guiding/ruling planet will soon move into Sagittarius, December 11th.With this crosscurrent between Moon in Gemini, and Sun in Sagittarius, this planetary pair needs to find a balance between the search for more information as in the Gemini way, and the Sagittarius who wants to release the ideas, thoughts and experiences toward expanding one's vision and direction. In other words, Gemini is famous for wanting to learn about everything at the same time, while Sagittarius seeks a focused direction and expansion through adventure.Gemini and Sagittarius are the teachers of the zodiac. What are your intentions for speaking your desires and dreams into being for 2026? Truth and Illumination are the Keys. Let's have an Astrology Conversation. I look forward to seeing you. Now is the time.https://www.soulsoundinsights.com/light-reading.htmlhttps://www.soulsoundinsights.com/music-musings-meditation.htmlI am proud to announce my new offering as a Certified Creative Depth Coach.

Mid-Atlantic - conversations about US, UK and world politics
In this episode, RoyField Brown revisits his Birmingham radio roots with an interview that blends the local and the political. Green Party councillor Julian Pritchard joins from his ward of Druids Heath and Monyhull, a place that even the most civic-minded Brummies might struggle to locate on a map. But that's the point. Pritchard has been trying to change that for over seven years, turning up, knocking doors, chasing bin collections, and campaigning for a more equitable form of regeneration that isn't developer-led and value-extractive. His success there is more than a hyper-local curiosity. It's part of a wider green moment.The conversation moves between the nitty-gritty of grassroots activism and the broader surge in national Green Party support, spurred in part by leader Zack Polanski's recent media breakthrough. Pritchard, a methodical campaigner, credits Polanski with articulating long-held Green values, on social justice and climate policy alike, with clarity and conviction. Unlike Labour's technocratic drift, the Greens now appear to be talking about transformation and redistribution, and crucially, they're being heard.As for Druids Heath, it's a case study in how regeneration can alienate when it doesn't centre residents. Pritchard pushes back against full demolition plans for the estate, highlighting the murky logic of “affordable housing” that may not be affordable at all. He's advocating for proper social housing, not policy euphemisms. Amid a national housing debate, the fate of Druids Heath could be a local test case with national implications.5 Selected Quotes"We need somebody like your leader who can grab the attention and articulate a vision, not just for now, but where we are going." — RoyField Brown"It's about changing systems and policies, not saying that everybody makes real choices." — Julian Pritchard"People felt taken for granted, and nobody did anything." — Julian Pritchard"This is trust us from the council that's delivered us equal pay liability, bankruptcy, Oracle disaster, yearlong bin strike..." — Julian Pritchard"To save the planet fairly, we've got to focus on both people and planet." — Julian PritchardFurther Reading & Links MentionedGreen Party UK – Official party siteZack Polanski's profile – London Assembly bioBirmingham Regeneration Plans – Birmingham City Council's regeneration proposal for Druids HeathShared Ownership vs. Social Rent Explained – Shelter UKPodcast Producer Connor Begley Hosted on Acast.

We also talk about Jeff Bezos and his new project with real estate that may push up the price of housing and cause unintended consequences.

In this episode, we take a straightforward look at what's really happening with Oracle Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) and what it means for Finance teams planning their next move. We break down the current support picture for HFM 11.1.2.x and 11.2, clarify what "Continuous Innovation" does—and doesn't—provide, and outline the risks organizations face when staying on a system that's no longer evolving. You'll hear a real-world success story about a 174-year-old company that transitioned from a complex, aging HFM environment to a unified OneStream platform that now supports consolidation, reporting, reconciliations, and future expansion—all with dramatically improved stability and visibility. We also walk through a practical migration roadmap: assessing your current HFM footprint, designing a unified model, converting rules and integrations, running parallel closes, and rolling out advanced capabilities like dashboards, reconciliations, and AI-driven forecasting. Whether you're considering an upgrade to 11.2, debating Oracle Cloud EPM, or exploring modern platforms like OneStream, this episode gives Finance leaders the clarity they need to make confident, future-proof decisions.

Look out – the corporate cat is out of the bag!This particular “cat” is the fast-metastasizing software technology called “artificial intelligence.” A cadre of multibillion-dollar high-tech giants have surreptitiously been advancing AI for a couple of decades, literally creating a new, autonomous species of thinking beings. These are computer-powered humanoid bots, increasingly-able to do the intellectual, creative, managerial, and other complex jobs that millions of human beings now do.The billionaire pushers of this brave new bot economy know that this amounts to placing a neutron bomb in the American workplace, so they have intentionally lied about its job-obliterating impact. However, after years of hush-hush development, the AI technology is now so advanced and the corporate investment in it is so gargantuan that the perpetrators no longer care what the public thinks.This year, Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Oracle, and other Silicon Valley oligarchs have been feverishly dumping hundreds of billions of dollars each into a global corporate gold rush to supplant humans with AI bots in practically every economic sector. They expect to automate half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within five years. And one Silicon Valley outfit (bluntly named “Mechanize”) calculates that its plan “to fully automate work” can be acheived within 30 years. Indeed, BotWorld is now urging today's AI technology to create super-intelligent systems that can out-think humans. Yes – bots themselves are working to produce more powerful bots to speed up AI's bot takeover of work.This is Jim Hightower saying… If you think that, surely, this isn't really happening, note that Trump's GOP Congress recently imposed a 10-year ban on any state laws attempting to regulate AI. Just unleash the bots… and see what happens.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I analyze why Workday's $26B RPO signals strong future momentum in the face of SAP and Oracle.Highlights00:15 — Very nice Q3 that Workday recently finished here. Great revenue growth for the quarter ended October 31 — up 15% to about $2.25 billion. 17% growth for its total RPO, to about $8.2 billion. It's been cranking up the innovation engine there at Workday. Small AI-specific acquisitions over the last year or two have really been adding to this so customers have more to buy.01:16 — CEO Carl Eschenbach made key points. Broadly, everybody sees the potential of AI, but he said most customers find they're stuck with fragmented systems. He said they have bad data, and he said they're not sure that they have the right platforms to work with. Workday believes that its AI solutions can come in and directly address all of those things.02:00 — He said, "We want to be the new front door to work." He's bringing together three significant components to be able to do that. He said that's enterprise knowledge, a new generation of agents that address some of the most pressing business requirements, and also the HR and financial processes that Workday has helped customers to track for the last 20 years.03:10 — It wants to be AI-first. With everything it's doing, it's making things as open as possible. It's trying to make things as simple for its customers as it can. These are important differentiators for Workday as it's up against two much larger competitors, SAP and Oracle. Its future pipeline is strong. Customer demand is there. Confidence is there.

Ben Mauro is one of the industry's most respected concept artists, known for defining the look of blockbusters like Halo Infinite, but his latest venture is a masterclass in how artists can successfully build and own their own intellectual property. Ben returns to the podcast to break down the journey of expanding his independent sci-fi universe, Huxley, from a passion project into a high-end graphic novel series published by Thames & Hudson. He shares the creative and business roadmap for launching his new prequel, The Oracle, and explains why maintaining full creative control is essential for building a lasting legacy in a committee-driven industry. Beyond the logistics of publishing, the discussion dives deep into the philosophical necessity of physical media in an age of fleeting digital licenses. Ben, Chris, and Daniel explore the "pride of ownership" that comes with tangible art, whether it's a collector's edition Blu-ray or a deluxe graphic novel, and how this tactile connection anchors the audience to the story. They also touch on the "Roman Empire" of machines within Huxley's lore and the vital lesson of creating art for oneself, proving that the most personal work is often what resonates most with the world.

⭐ TYPICAL SKEPTIC PODCAST — EPISODE #2325Slavka “The Natural Sentient” – Oracle Readings & Egypt Travel Mysteries⏰ Time: 4:30 PM Eastern
After surviving Thanksgiving and the subsequent biting cold, we jumped into the FOLLOW UP with news that Malaysia is joining the trend by taking steps to ban social media for children under 16, mirroring similar actions in Australia and Denmark—it seems the world is finally realizing the internet is a toxic wasteland for the kids. We also discussed Apple's photo AI, which is apparently still in beta, if the results are anything to go by. The bulk of our discussion centered on the spectacular, flaming death of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is Officially Dead. We broke down a brief rundown of the damages this vanity project caused, from humanitarian disasters overseas to administrative chaos and the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs domestically, proving the "savings" were pure illusion. Now, with the collapse, the 'Suddenly exposed' DOGE employees fear prosecution after Musk abandoned them, learning the hard way that billionaire guardianship has an expiration date.The job market is just great, with both Apple laying off part of its sales team despite record revenue, and HP joining the List of Tech Companies Cutting Jobs and pointing to AI as the convenient scapegoat for laying off 10% of their workforce. Meanwhile, we found out the most popular social media platform among US adults isn't Instagram or TikTok—it's YouTube—while Meta allegedly buried research showing its products are harming users, confirming what we've known all along: they're evil, but they already got your grandma hooked. Adding to the misery, An Alarming Number of Teens Say They Turn To AI For Company, Study Finds, because why talk to a real, messy human when a bot can gaslight you more efficiently? Sam Altman's financial troubles are spilling over, with Sam Altman's Business Buddies Are Getting Stung (sorry, SoftBank and Oracle), and analysts estimate OpenAI Is Just $200 Billion Away From Still Losing Money, HSBC Says, a comical hole they plan to fill by asking for more free money. Legally, OpenAI can't use the Word ‘Cameo' in Sora now, thanks to a trademark suit, and Warner Music is playing both sides by dropping its lawsuit against Suno in exchange for a licensing agreement. Finally, in some truly dark news, a Marc Andreessen-backed Super-PAC Pours Millions Into Fighting State AI Regulations, and X's new location feature reveals that New X Feature Reveals Many MAGA Patriots on X Are Not Even Based in the U.S.After ranting about my misery dealing with the Open Dialogue bug in a beta build and declaring my return to "pedestrian releases," we got into APPS & DOODADS. Spotify is actually doing something cool with its new SongDNA feature, which shows you who sampled what (and they bought WhoSampled to do it). They're also testing Spotify's New AI-powered audiobook Recaps to remind you where you left off—Amazon is doing the same with AI-powered series Recap Videos for Prime Video. Amazon is also rolling out Alexa Home Theater surround sound for Echo speakers, making those budget speakers slightly more useful. We ran through some great stocking stuffers in Jason's Holiday Gift Guide, including Velcro cable ties and the Contigo travel mug, before moving on to MEDIA CANDY, which included Dan Carlin's Common Sense, Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk's new podcast Once We Were Spacemen, and a discussion on why Stranger Things Lost the Plot. We then got deeply uncomfortable talking about a Toronto ASMR spa that offers doctor roleplay, and closed out by talking about the documentary Quiet Please… about the neurological disorder misophonia. The episode finished with the AT THE LIBRARY segment, covering the Milli Vanilli memoir You Know It's True and the sci-fi short story collection The Time Travelers Passport.Show notes at https://gog.show/724Watch now on YouTube: https://youtu.be/PoMa9FM5QEE?si=4r25yqv_0u8aXHF7Sponsors:MasterClass - Get up to 50% off at MASTERCLASS.com/GRUMPYOLDGEEKSGusto - Try Gusto today at gusto.com/grumpy, and get three months free when you run your first payroll.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.
