Welcome back to the Pilote podcast with David Fuller and Cory Smith. In this episode we talk about contracting and offshoring versus in-house talent. We look at changes to Zoom’s terms and conditions that might let them clone you via AI. We get around to discussing the rebranding of Twitter to X and then Amazon’s push to decarbonise the supply chain through market power.
