A shoe company just rebranded as an AI chip leasing business and the market valued it at $148 million. That's either a sign of the times or a warning. This week: Amazon declares war on Starlink, OpenAI quietly retreats from its own data center commitments, and a jury finds Ticketmaster guilty of exactly what everyone already knew.


This episode covers Allbirds' AI pivot and why the GPU leasing model probably doesn't work, Amazon's acquisition of Globalstar, OpenAI pulling out of European Stargate projects, the Live Nation antitrust verdict, and the Paramount–Warner Brothers merger talks.
