Meta is ditching fact-checkers, Nvidia hitting $3T, and everyone is building robots for some reason. Episode # 81 of More or Less kicks off 2025 by asking:
• How much of Zuck's community notes pivot is political theater?
• Can NVIDIA actually pull off this "mega omniverse" industrial AI play?
• Will companies thrive as the great tech exodus accelerates?
Plus: Sam explains why centralized moderation was always destined to fail (backed by that wild 30% spike in misinfo post-fact-checking), Dave remains unimpressed by CES's 170,000-person gadget circus, and Brit introduces us to Generation Beta -- the first true AI natives.
Bonus round: Is 2025 the year Texas tech finally takes the crown?
