Introduction:
In today’s episode, we dive into the latest developments shaping the tech landscape and the graduate job market. First, we explore OpenAI’s turbulent launch of its video app Sora 2, sparking debates on the risks of its “synthetic data flywheel” approach and the broader implications for US-China AI competition. Next, we examine Sony’s strategic pivot after the failure of its multiplayer-heavy Concord project, shifting focus to $200 million single-player blockbusters like ‘Ghost of Yōtei’ in a bid to recapture PlayStation’s cinematic roots. Then, Jeff Bezos weighs in on the AI boom, calling it an “industrial bubble” fueled by inflated valuations, yet argues this surge is a productive phase paving the way for long-term infrastructure gains. We also highlight the rise of Silicon Valley’s “neoprimes” — agile, software-first defense startups attracting $38 billion in venture capital and challenging legacy giants in AI-driven warfare. Finally, we address the grim reality facing recent graduates, as tech entry-level hiring plunges 50% amid AI-driven productivity gains, degree inflation, and “ghost jobs,” reshaping perceptions of STEM degrees and career prospects.
