About this episode

Softbank posted a record $32 billion loss at its Vision Fund tech investment arm as executives promise the company are going on the offensive on AI. But is it too little too late? Plus, character.ai has become an example for tech investors of an AI bubble – after the company raised a billion dollars without seeing any revenue. CEO Noam Shazeer talked monetization, use cases, and how they landed their partnership with Google Cloud.
