E41: The AI Arms Race & Dumb Diversification

In E41, Localogy senior analysts Charles Laughlin and Mike Boland return to explore two top of mind topics.

Mike begins with a look at the recent “Made by Google”event, which ostensibly was to roll out the new Pixel 8 phone but felt more like an AI product rollout. 

Charles then talks about how an increasingly commoditized buy now pay later industry is seeking diversification in some familiar ways, including subscription products and retail media networks.
