LinkedIn wants a piece of Wordle’s success


Listen Later

This is our Monday show, in which we take a look back at the weekend and what’s ahead in the week. We’re coming to the end of earnings season, which means that there are just a few weeks left in the first quarter.

With spring in the air, here’s what we got into this morning:

  • Apple may tap Google for AI: Sure, Apple is working on its own AI tech, but Google’s Gemini model could be headed for an iPhone near you. Bloomberg broke the news.
  • Grok goes open source: As promised, xAI’s LLM Grok is out for people to play with. Most importantly, startup founders seem excited.
  • Reddit’s IPO makes progress: Oversubscription is always a good signal, but is also no promise of IPO riches to come.
  • Gumroad says ‘no thanks’ to NSFW content: Another year, another platform booting adult creators. It’s a tale as old as time!
  • Gaming is coming to LinkedInLook I don’t know what to tell you other than that all platforms eventually become one.
