In this episode of Filtered with TJ Walker, we explore several of the biggest stories shaping technology and business today. YouTube megastar MrBeast is entering financial services after his company acquired the youth banking platform Step. The move could introduce millions of younger followers to investing, credit building, and digital finance. Meanwhile, the massive layoffs at fintech firm Block are raising questions about the real role of artificial intelligence in the workplace. Some insiders argue the cuts are less about AI replacing workers and more about corporate restructuring. We also examine growing privacy concerns involving Meta’s AI-powered smart glasses after contractors reviewing video footage reported seeing deeply personal moments recorded by users. Additional topics include the debate around concert ticket pricing involving Live Nation and Ticketmaster, and a push to expand nutrition education for future doctors. Filtered delivers clear, thoughtful analysis of the biggest stories shaping business, technology, and culture.   #MrBeast, #AILayoffs, #TechNews, #MetaSmartGlasses, #PrivacyTechnology, #FutureOfWork, #StartupNews, #BusinessNews, #ArtificialIntelligence, #DigitalEconomy
