The media market is undergoing significant shifts due to technological advancements. Scott Galloway predicts a resurgence in mid-tier media companies as large language models (LLMs) find value in their content. He suggests that companies like Gannett might announce lucrative deals with tech firms, potentially quintupling their earnings 1.

Pharmaceutical pricing remains a contentious issue, with Scott Galloway highlighting the disparity in drug costs across countries.

Ed Smith points out the strategic moves by companies to exploit regulatory loopholes, such as selling compounded versions of drugs without FDA approval due to shortages 3.

I like the idea of anything that fucks with big pharma, I just love.
