About this listen

 In this episode of Talk That Tech, Trey Scott (@TechBagTrey) & Joseph Smith breaks down the shocking news from Amazon 30,000 corporate employees laid off while the company pours $120 billion into artificial intelligence. The hosts unpack the paradox: record profits, massive AI spending, and thousands of people losing their jobs in the name of efficiency.
They explore what Amazons CEO Andy Jassy is really betting on, why these cuts could reshape the tech industry, and whether AIs promised productivity boom is worth the human cost. Plus, Joseph Smith covers the latest headlines in The Tech Wire and dives into Metas $30 billion AI bond deal, the largest of the year.
