For E69, co-hosts Mike Boland and Charles Laughlin shared highlights and insights from the recently completed L24 event in Arlington, Texas.

L24 wasn't 100% AI-focused. Yet it was a key theme. Mike noted how practical the conversation around AI was at L24. 

Charles pointed out that it was a relief that there wasn’t a lot of AI “doomer” talk at L24. Yet he felt some tough conversations were being avoided.

For example, what’s really behind the talk about how AI is “democratizing” this or that?

The analysts also discussed TikTok’s U.S. future. This surfaced throughout the event, which was before legislation was passed requiring TikTok’s owner Bytedance to divest its U.S. holdings.
