Checkout the latest Tech Week in Review episode! Your hosts discuss a packed stretch of breakthroughs, breakdowns, and moves from 02-8 February. A brutal selloff, AI in orbit, and a creative software utility. A national social media ban.

It’s chaos and clarity — and let’s make sense of it all!

What’s Happening & Why This Matters

💥 Anthropic Spooks Wall Street

Anthropic’s new Claude upgrade sends software stocks tumbling as investors panic over AI disruption. Legacy players like Adobe and Zoom take hits.

🚀 SpaceX Absorbs xAI

Musk merges SpaceX with xAI, linking rockets and AI for future orbital data centres and autonomous systems in space.

A paralysed man plays chess using only his thoughts, thanks to Neuralink’s brain-computer interface. Mind meets machine—live and functioning.

🤖 Bot-Only Social Goes Bad

Moltbook, an AI-only social platform, is flooded with malware posing as agents. Novel idea, but security? Nonexistent.

🇪🇸 Spain Bans Social Under 16

Spain moves to block social media access for users under 16, citing mental health risks. Global pressure mounts on tech firms to act.

TF Summary: What’s Next

AI is the trend — shaking markets, reprogramming laws, and hijacking networks. Innovators and investors must adapt.. or vanish??

MY FORECAST: Brain interfaces, AI chaos, and youth regulation… and it’s only February??? 10 more months to go….
