Big tech's 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:32.799 artificial intelligence capital expenditures 00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:35.539 are soaring, raising concerns that companies 00:09:35.539 --> 00:09:38.259 may be overbuilding infrastructure before it 00:09:38.259 --> 00:09:41.990 can be monetized. One expert describes this trend 00:09:41.990 --> 00:09:45.929 as a risky gamble. Oracle Corporation's reported 00:09:45.929 --> 00:09:50.529 $300 billion deal with open AI is being scrutinized 00:09:50.529 --> 00:09:53.789 as a sign of robust spending or an overreach 00:09:53.789 --> 00:09:57.149 in the artificial intelligence sector. Professor 00:09:57.149 --> 00:10:00.169 Benjamin Lee warns that this overinvestment may 00:10:00.169 --> 00:10:03.450 lead to long -term challenges if demand for AI 00:10:03.450 --> 00:10:07.500 workloads diminishes. Despite this, the demand 00:10:07.500 --> 00:10:10.559 for data centers is currently booming, with industry 00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:13.700 leaders expressing confidence in future utilization. 00:10:16.500 --> 00:10:21.539 And in entertainment news, the new sequel, Spinal 00:10:21.539 --> 00:10:25.059 Tap 2, The End Continues, comes at a time when 00:10:25.059 --> 00:10:28.120 musicians rarely reveal their unvarnished lives 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:32.559 on film. Rob Reiner, the director, reflects on 00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:36.009 how the original This Is Spinal Tap rankled some 00:10:36.009 --> 00:10:41.049 fans upon its release in 1984. Tyler Wilson notes 00:10:41.049 --> 00:10:43.450 that the mockumentary taught artists to avoid 00:10:43.450 --> 00:10:47.769 hubris, a central theme in the film. The sequel 00:10:47.769 --> 00:10:50.169 aims to capture the reality of being a rock star, 00:10:50.370 --> 00:10:52.970 showcasing the struggles of aging band members. 00:10:53.789 --> 00:10:56.590 While music documentaries increase in number, 00:10:56.750 --> 00:10:59.950 they tend to favor mythology over truth -telling, 00:11:00.090 --> 00:11:04.870 according to producer Aaron Sachs. Well, alrighty 00:11:04.870 --> 00:11:08.909 folks, it's time for the quote of the day. And 00:11:08.909 --> 00:11:11.529 today, our quote comes from the American author 00:11:11.529 --> 00:11:14.509 and women's rights activist, Margaret Fuller. 00:11:15.129 --> 00:11:19.169 And she said, If you have knowledge, let others 00:11:19.169 --> 00:11:23.190 light their candles in it.
