The episode also examines banks' restrictions on AI agents accessing customer accounts, noting that while liability concerns are high, no mass theft has occurred. Finally, it discusses Netflix's recent executive layoffs and slowing growth, attributing the shakeup to creative missteps in its expensive Narnia adaptation.
