Yahoo Finance Host Julie Hyman, Breaking Business News Reporter Jake Conley and Senior Autos Reporter Pras Subramanian break down what the deal means for AI’s circular financing, the gap between AI spending and revenue, Oracle’s compute deal with Tencent, and Apollo Chief Economist Torsten Slok’s warning that the hype may have moved faster than the payoff.
