‘Mr. IPO’ on SpaceX’s Historic Listing, Anthropic’s Repelling Data Retention Policy

About this episode

The episode discusses SpaceX's IPO, Anthropic's data retention policy, and the challenges faced by Xbox and Palantir in the tech industry.

"Mr. IPO" Jay Ritter joins TITV Host Akash Pasricha to break down the historic, oversubscribed SpaceX public debut and whether astronomical price-to-sales ratios are flashing tech bubble signals. We also talk with The Information's Aaron Holmes about why Anthropic's aggressive 30-day data retention policy is causing Microsoft and regulated industries to freeze their rollouts of Claude Fable, and explore Xbox's painful path toward cost-cutting and layoffs as profit margins shrink to just 3%. Lastly, we get into Palantir's expensive defensive play against OpenAI and Anthropic with our applied AI reporter Laura Bratton.
