236: 42

Welcome to IoT Coffee Talk #236 where we have a chat about all things #IoT over a cup of coffee or two with some of the industry's leading business minds, thought leaders and technologists in a totally unscripted, organic format. Thanks for joining us. Sit back with a cup of Joe and enjoy the morning banter.

This week, Debbie, Pete, Rob, Dimiti, Bill, Marc, and Leonard jump on Web3 to talk about:

• BAD KARAOKE! "Spain", Chick Corea

• Change and confusion - the state of tech policy in the U.S.
• CV2X is approved but is it a big deal?
• Human-centric digital future - Data Diva's good work
• GenAI supercomputing - why? The answer is 42.
• The giving season is also the tech layoff season? What?

• The Agentic AI layoff - the great offloading of humanity and empathy
• Our emerging culture of offloading our humanity to AI
• We select profit over humanity whether you like it or not
