I'm the host of Big Technology Podcast, a longtime reporter and an on-air contributor to CNBC. And if you're like me, you're trying to figure out how artificial intelligence is changing the business world and our lives. So each week on Big Technology, I bring on key actors from companies building AI tech

and outsiders trying to influence it. Asking where this is all going, they come from places like Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, and plenty more. So if you want to be smart with your wallet, your career choices, and meetings with your colleagues and at dinner parties, listen to Big Technology Podcast or ever you get your podcasts. La Dernatier Mobile Azacillon by W.A. Dwigens. On the left, the road comes up the hill out of a pool of mist. On the right, it loses itself in the shadow of a wood. On the far side of the highway, a hedgerow, dusty in the moonlight, spreads an irregular border of black from the wood to the fog. Behind the hedgerow, slender poplar trees, evenly spaced, rule off the distance with inky lines. A movement stirs the mist at the bottom of the hill. A monotonous rhythm grows in the silence.

The mist darkens, and from it, there emerges a strange shadowy column that reaches slowly up the hill, moving in silence to the somber and muffled beating of a drum. As it draws nearer, the shadow becomes two files of marching men bearing between them a long dim burden. The leaders advance into the moonlight. Each two men are carrying between them a pole and from pole to pole have been slung planks, making a continuous platform. But that which is heaped upon the platform is hidden with muddy blankets. The uniforms of the men, of various sorts, indicating that they are from many commands, are in shreds and spotted with stains of mold and earth.

Their heads are bound in cloth, so that their faces are covered. A single drummer at the side of the column carries slung from his shoulder the shell of a drum. No flag flies from the staff at the column's head, but the staff is held erect. Slowly, the head of the line advances to the shadow of the wood, touches it and is swallowed. The leaders, the bare flag staff, the drummer disappear, but still from the shade is heard the muffled rhythm of the drum. Still, the column comes out of the mist. Still, it climbs the hill and passes with its endless articulated burden. At last, the rearmost couple disengages itself from the mist, ascends and is swallowed by the shadow.

There remains only the moonlight and the dusty hedgerow. From the left, the road runs from Belgium. To the right, it crosses into France. The dead are leaving their resting places in that lost land. The end of La Dernitier Mobile Azacillon by W.A. Twiggins. Hey, it's Cole Swindell. After I give everything I've got to land a perfect vocal, I usually take five before jumping into the next track. And I've learned exactly how to recharge in that time. Some folks grab coffee, I hit a quick good lookspin. Next thing you know, the break is just as fun as land down the track. A better break makes for a better take. Need a break? Let's chumble. No purchase necessary. VGW Group void were prohibited by law. 21 plus TNC supply. Sponsored by Chamba Casino.
