Dirhams & Dollars

It’s not been a good week for tech. Tesla’s taken a beating for everything from failing to meet customer demand to an AI-related fatality involving one of its vehicles. A self-driving Uber also killed a pedestrian. And Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg is heading off to Washington to explain to Congress how and maybe why he destroyed Western Civilisation. It’s almost enough to make you think that all of this technology is out to get us. It isn’t, but we talk about why the recent run of bad tech headlines might be causing some people to think twice about the future. We also look at how much further tech stocks might fall, and the other companies that may yet still be embroiled in the ongoing data scandals. But for anyone looking to escape, don’t worry, you can go see the Middle East Film and Comic Con this weekend. Or if you need a quick laugh, you can join me and Ed in laughing at Sarah’s sunburn.
