  "account": "In the upcoming half-year, technological companies are shaping the landscape, according to analysts Miriam Meckel and Sebastian Matthes. Nvidia, alone, is now valued as much as the entire German Gross Domestic Product. Publisher Miriam Meckel warns that AI companies are increasingly acting as political world powers. Handelsblatt editor-in-chief Sebastian Matthes notes the end of the smartphone era, with AI glasses and always-listening voice assistants poised to replace the screens we constantly stare at. Despite the progress made by Artificial Intelligence, Meckel observes a wave of \"AI Business Slop\": AI-generated business nonsense, produced by AI-controlled companies that promise much, deliver little, and operate on the edges of legality. Could Mark Zuckerberg be searching for a new business model? You'll hear about it in this episode. Moderated by Miriam Meckel and Sebastian Matthes, produced by Jan Menzel.
