#TheTechHustle Podcast 🎙

🏀 From the Tech World to the NBA Court: Twitter, AI, LeBron James and Kim K 🕹️🎧🏍️
Ever wondered how a single command could bring one of the world’s most popular social media platforms back to life after a major outage? Buckle up as I share my first-hand experience of dealing with a Twitter crash and how we revived it from the ashes. Our journey doesn’t end here; we plunge into the captivating field of artificial intelligence, highlighting Google's remarkable strides. Brace yourself as we explore the peculiar concept of a "girlfriend AI" and the digital avatar that a Spanish model used to skyrocket her fame and fortune.
From the mysterious realms of technology, we shift gears to the vibrant world of entertainment and sports. We commemorate the 50th anniversary of hip hop, question Kim K’s title as GQ's Man of the Year and scrutinize the eye-watering $700 million contract of baseball player Shohei Ohtani. But the real icing on the cake is our conversation about the phenomenal LeBron James. At 38, he continues to impress us with his MVP performance and we can't help but speculate about the Lakers' fortunes in the NBA playoffs.
Rounding off this electrifying episode, we delve into the latest NBA season, gearing up for an exhilarating playoff and the suspense surrounding the new rules. With LeBron James showing no signs of slowing down and Anthony Davis needing to stay fit, we are on the edge of our seats. The introduction of the first-ever in-season tournament further adds to the excitement. So, whether you’re a tech geek, a sports enthusiast, or a pop culture aficionado, we’ve got you covered. Tune in and let's hustle together!
