Anthropic Showdown with the Pentagon reaches an endpoint. We dig into what it means. Block is laying off half the company, as Jack Dorsey tells everyone, AI might be coming for their jobs too. OpenAI finally raises its $110 billion fundraising round, and we have yet another AI science fiction sell-off. That's coming up on a Big Technology Podcast Friday edition right after this.
Welcome to Big Technology Podcast Friday edition where we break down the news in our traditional cool-headed and nuanced format. We have a great show for you today. We're going to break down everything that's happening between Anthropic and the Pentagon and discuss what it means for the company and maybe the future of war and defense. We'll also talk about the big layoffs at Block. Half the company seems like it's on the way out the door.
We'll talk about OpenAI finally raising the $110 billion round. It might, that round might grow even larger. And of course the Citrini sell-off. We're joined as always by Ron John Roy of Margins, who's back from Europe and ready to podcast. Let's podcast, Ron John.
