Caleb and Adriele run through the week’s many news stories, including strike updates from Hollywood and from Detroit (where President Biden joined the UAW picket line). They round up a host of new AI-related stories, and discuss the FTC’s lawsuit against Amazon and Rupert Murdoch’s retirement.
Then, they go deep on a major climate report that says tech solutions to climate change are over-hyped, including unproven carbon capture and hydrogen technologies. Next, Adriele shares the insights she gathered from Fast Company’s Innovation Festival, including a recurring theme of authenticity as a leadership skill.
All that, plus Starbucks’ reusable cups experiment and a report that says there have been huge increases in hiring people of color from S&P 100 companies since 2020.
