In this episode of The Kettle, host Brandon Vigliarolo is joined by editor-in-chief Matt Rosoff and systems editor Tobias Mann to dissect the recent earnings reports and determine whether the bubble is about to burst. The pair discusses the wild swings in stock prices of major tech companies as they navigate rising component prices, shrinking free cash flow, and worries over chip availability. They also touch on the growing uncertainty surrounding the potential return on investment in AI technologies and consider what steps IT teams should take in this volatile market.",
