Introduction:
In this episode, we explore five compelling stories shaping the tech and business world today. First, despite missing earnings estimates, Oracle’s stock soared thanks to bold cloud revenue forecasts and new AI partnerships that are compelling even Microsoft to rely on its infrastructure. Next, Amazon’s robotaxi subsidiary Zoox has launched a driverless, steering wheel–free service in Las Vegas, directly challenging Google’s Waymo as it plans expansion to other major cities. We then dive into Morningstar and PitchBook’s new index, which blends public and private companies including giants like SpaceX and OpenAI, outperforming the S&P 500 but carrying unique risks. Following that, we examine India’s transformation of global capability centers into digital innovation hubs, generating billions but now facing challenges from trade tensions and resource shortages. Finally, we cover explosive Senate testimony from former Meta safety researchers accusing the company of suppressing internal findings on child safety risks in VR, including alleged pedophile activity on Roblox, which Meta strongly denies.
