Why David's Bridal tied the knot with AI


Listen Later

On today's episode, cohosts Yasmin Gagne and Josh Christensen discuss the latest news in the world of business and innovation. Topics include Mark Zuckerberg's plans to continue shaking up Meta’s AI efforts, MSNBC changing its name to MS Now, Sam Altman acknowledging the horrible launch of ChatGPT-5, and the Trump Administration’s plan to take a 10% stake in Intel.

 

Next, David’s Bridal has gone through two bankruptcies in recent years. However, in 2023, they were acquired by a private equity group, CION Investment Corporation. Yaz spoke to Senior Staff Writer Liz Segran about the company's past hardships and new AI pivot as a digital-first marketplace business.


Finally, Yaz interviews showrunner and creator of FX’s Alien: Earth, Noah Hawley, about his vision for the show, why the themes of AI draw inspiration from current events, and his approach to creating material based on this iconic franchise.
