Topics
Scott Galloway: 本期节目讨论了微软收购Inflection员工事件、拜登政府阻止日本新日铁收购美国钢铁公司的决定以及科技公司从旧金山迁往迈阿密后又搬回旧金山的现象。Scott认为微软在AI领域一家独大,可能存在压制竞争的行为,但Inflection本身竞争力不足也是事实。他认为拜登政府的决定是出于政治、民族主义和迎合工会等非经济因素的考虑,是不合理的。他还指出,许多科技公司从旧金山搬迁到迈阿密后又搬回旧金山,这表明迈阿密在科技产业方面的吸引力被夸大了,加利福尼亚州的创新生态系统仍然具有强大的吸引力。 Ed Elson: Ed Elson同意Scott Galloway的观点,认为微软收购Inflection员工事件反映出微软在AI领域一家独大,可能存在压制竞争的行为。他还指出,拜登政府阻止日本新日铁收购美国钢铁公司的决定是出于政治考量,尽管从商业角度来看,这笔交易对美国钢铁公司是有利的。
