However, Frank expresses concern about the focus on user acquisition over profitability, drawing comparisons to the unsustainable growth during the dot-com bubble.
Frank and Justin explore:

→ Linux security breach through malicious code, potentially state-sponsored
→ Amazon's failed AI-powered stores actually relied on human workers
