Listen "Meta’s Virtual Reality Check & Kroger Shelves Its Automation Push"

Episode Synopsis

Episode 77: Today, Ann examines Meta’s decision to slash the budget for its lagging metaverse operations and applauds the difficult move that’s right out of the playbook of another tech power player: Amazon. Then we look at two companies whose quarterly earnings didn’t wow markets today: why Snowflake is falling and Kroger shelved its automated grocery delivery plans. Finally, we sprint through headline-grabbing stories from iRobot, Dollar General and PVH.
