    Banks Try to Offload Massive AI Data Centre Risk | Microsoft Tries to Revive Edge

    Banks are starting to pull back from one of the biggest bets in tech — the massive borrowing behind AI data centres. According to reporting from the Financial Times, lenders are now trying to offload billions in exposure as companies like Oracle and CoreWeave scale up infrastructure for artificial intelligence. The issue is simple but critical: this isn't a stock story — it's a debt story. And debt requires real cash flow, not just future potential. At the same time, Meta Platforms is testing AI tools that analyze facial structure to detect underage users after reports that many kids are bypassing age verification systems. It highlights how enforcement is becoming an arms race between platforms and users. Meanwhile, Microsoft is trying to revive its Edge browser by simplifying the experience and removing features like the sidebar. But questions remain about whether the real issue is clutter — or trust. A recent report points to potential risks in how Microsoft Edge handles stored passwords, reinforcing concerns among enterprise users. And finally, in a case of "well, this is embarrassing," a South African AI policy had to be withdrawn after it was found to include AI-generated fake citations — a reminder that even governments are still learning how to use these tools responsibly.

    NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang Says NVIDIA Chinese Market Share Hits ZERO

    Nvidia says it now has zero market share in China for AI chips — a striking consequence of U.S. export controls that were meant to slow China's progress but may have accelerated local competition instead. At the same time, the world's biggest tech companies — Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta, Amazon, and Apple — are reporting massive profits and strong growth. But that success is coming with a different story underneath: layoffs, restructuring, and a shift toward spending on AI infrastructure instead of hiring. In this episode: Nvidia warns U.S. policy may be reshaping the global AI race Big Tech earnings surge while job growth lags Apple turns "rejected" chips into a surprise MacBook hit And the quiet shutdown of Ask Jeeves — the early idea that AI finally made real The bigger question behind all of this: If tech is booming, why isn't that translating into jobs or broader economic gains?   00:00 Intro — Nvidia, Big Tech, Apple, Ask Jeeves 00:32 Nvidia loses China market — "zero percent share" 02:05 China's AI rise and the risk to Nvidia 03:15 Big Tech earnings surge — real growth numbers 04:25 Profits vs jobs — layoffs and AI spending 05:50 Apple's "Neo" MacBook surprise success 07:10 Binned chips and why demand caught Apple off guard 08:20 Ask Jeeves shuts down after nearly 30 years 09:20 From Ask Jeeves to generative AI — full circle 10:10 Closing thoughts — where are the jobs?
