Now for my main point, this is going to sound soooo crazy but I just woke up and I remembered a TikTok I watched today.

He was doing videos on securing a TC in Dec 2025, and my nosy self noticed he had a badge so I flipped my phone and it said Covington. (Showing how nosy I am 🤣)

Idk if he’s here, BUT if you felt like dropping a TikTok comment or DM’ing him. I can message you the page.

If not… GUYS HELP JESSICA OUT WITH THOSE INSIGHTS! I know there’s at least 5 of you who did the winter AC (I’ve counted three so far 🤨)

    Wait… drop the podcasts pls 🤭

    Going to try this out!! #Multitasking
    FT’s Tech Tonic and AllAboutLaw’s Commercial Awareness Compass are my faves😍

    Something about the repetitive and predictable movements helps my brain focus on the podcast better as it keeps my brain engaged without distracting me😍#attentionspan #brainrot #ipadkid

    I’m back from changing the narrative and trying this instead of playing Angry Birds with a TikTok live on my phone while watching Love Island! 😍

    Listened to the “Tech in 2026: Silicon Valley's power plays and players” episode.

    My high score was 53,802 and here are my takeaways from what THEY said…

    - The FTC is in a silly goofy mood, like yeahhh those antitrust cases against Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta? Forget about it 😭🤣🤣🤣

    - Grok might go to App Store jail, and Ani is weird (Grok’s AI companion model thing?)

    - Musk and Zuckerberg are in charge of the Silicon Valley x Washington DC fan club (Both are fighting loser allegations...)

    - The Metaverse is in its flop era… the Meta Ray Bans are not. But there’s a generational divide on whether they’re weird or not.

    - The Republicans are in their employment era, and the Meta board of directors are loving them.

    - Microsoft wants no part in this mess (Apparently? 👀)

    - Google tripped at the start of the race and has caught up (Gemini, Notebook LLM) and is currently the 2nd most profitable company in the world behind Nvidia and those damn chips…

    - The data centres… 🙂 2050 is around the corner, and that carbon footprint is getting interesting, but I thought COP28 had a goal for…? People may also start launching legal action as more are built in residential areas

    - Also we may see more AI-based litigation from consumers due to AIs integration in a lot of businesses now and the reliance on the potentially incorrect/biased information it generates. (Employment & Insurance)
