In this episode, we discuss the European Court of Justice's decision forcing Apple to pay €13 billion in back taxes to Ireland, marking a major moment in corporate taxation within the EU. We also dive into Microsoft's breakthrough in quantum computing, as they announce the creation of 12 error-corrected qubits, a step forward in the notoriously difficult area of error resilience. Lastly, we explore OpenAI's "Strawberry" model, designed to improve reasoning in AI, and the latest drama involving OthersideAI's inflated claims about their new AI model, Reflection.  Links:  The EU Takes A Big Bite Out Of AppleQuantum Update - Error Corrected Qubit Count AlertOpenAI Announces Strawberry ModelsAI Dudebro Lies About Model Capabilities, Gets Caught, Hilarity Ensues
