About this listen

This episode covers the latest in AI news, cryptocurrency drama, and new lavish living in Portland. We dive into Elon Musk's xAI update, a project that has set the tech world abuzz after being secretly tested by a select group. Musk co-founded OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, in 2015 but stepped down from the company's board in 2018.

Next, we explore the takedown of alleged fraudulent Crypto FinTech bro's by the SEC and CFTC. High-stakes drama unfolds as figures like Binance's CEO Changpeng Zhao and Terraform Labs' Do Kwon face regulatory scrutiny.

Finally, we shine a spotlight on the newly unveiled Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Downtown Portland. This $700 million gem, a 35-story tower, represents the pinnacle of luxury and architectural finesse. "But just outside the hotel’s front entrance, a different reality sets in. On the surrounding blocks, Portlanders camp in tents and doorways, among the roughly 6,000 people who are experiencing homelessness in Multnomah County, which encompasses Portland and its eastside suburbs."

This episode has something for everyone, from tech enthusiasts to finance aficionados and luxury connoisseurs. Enjoy!
