Wishing You Fortune in Offloading Your Artificial Intelligence Venture!

“Good Luck Selling Your AI Startup”

“This week on Gadget Lab, we’re talking about Google’s mountain of money. Also: Facebook befouled its own nest once again. We also peek into a report about the physical dangers of the virtual world.”

Remember the time when Google was just a newborn on the internet and Facebook was a neat little specimen of social media evolution? Well, those were the days! Now, let’s talk about today, where Google’s pocket change probably equals a small country’s GDP. Quite an ascension, isn’t it?

But who’d discuss money and tech without mentioning Facebook, the notorious ringleader of privacy violations? Oh, and by the way, it appears they’ve outdone themselves – yet again! Don’t we all love a good sequel?

Moving on, there’s a hot buzz about the physical risks of the virtual world that’s impossible to ignore. Hats off to the irony, since we are talking about a dimension that’s supposed to be safe for at least our physical well-being. But evidently, it seems the physical is not so immune to the virtual after all.

Back to Google and its money mountain. How did they manage to amass this treasure trove, you ask? It’s through advertising, obviously. A genius move in the digital age, perhaps. But then again, it’s Google, and when are they not ingenious?

The highlight of the story has to be Facebook – the brand that fumbles affiliation with privacy. Rumor has it, they shared data favourites with other tech giants. It’s not even astonishing anymore, just another Tuesday in the tech world with Facebook.

Crossing over from Google’s fortune and Facebook’s faux pas, the chilling dangers of the virtual world caught our attention. It’s not about ghostly hauntings in VR headsets, it’s more real. As it turns out, issues like motion sickness, physical injuries, eye problems are beginning to take an alarming shape in the digital world. It’s the inception of a whole new field of study in the medical world – the VR health. Or should we say more like an intersection where physicians and app developers might need to hold a conference?

All in all, the tech world never ceases to astound, does it? Just another week of revelations and revolutions. Buckle up for the ride – it’s only going to get bumpier.
