Today's show:
*Starcloud has started sending AI chips into orbit. So is this where the datacenters the power AI will one day live? And does wifi work in the vacuum of space? We're asking the TOUGH questions.
PLUS Jason and Alex are doing a deep dive on all this week's OpenAI news. Will they ever be able to pay back all these GPU purchases? What happens to the wider economy on the off chance they don't thrive? And what's with these rumors that ChatGPT has stopped giving medical or legal advice?
All that and a look at TrustMRR (and why Jason advises you not to publicly share your Stripe), why Jason thinks Netflix should buy CNN, our hosts favorite Nazi hunter movies, and MORE.
