Microsoft Cuts 9,000 Jobs Amid AI Focus, Lovable's Funding Surge, DeepSeek's Global Rise, Substack's Video Push, and Carvel's Ice Cream Billboard Revolution
This week on the podcast, we dive into a series of impactful stories reshaping the tech and marketing landscapes. First, we discuss Microsoft's announcement of cutting about 4 percent of its workforce, approximately 9,000 jobs, amidst economic uncertainties, despite the company's continued profitability and a market valuation nearing $3.7 trillion. This move highlights the evolving job market in the tech sector and Microsoft's significant investments in artificial intelligence and cloud computing.
Next, we turn our attention to Lovable, a Swedish AI startup on the brink of securing over $150 million in funding, pushing its valuation close to $2 billion. This investment underscores the rapid growth and potential of AI technologies, as Lovable advances from early seed funding to substantial growth financing, with its web app-building product and a new beta AI agent.
Shifting gears, we explore the global AI competition, focusing on DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company. Despite initial controversies and national security concerns, DeepSeek's technologies have gained remarkable adoption
