Fresh off Vegas (yes, wallets lighter, oxygen in casinos still free), we’re back with Episode 9 and it’s a wild one. The Fed’s cutting rates again, Boston wants 700-foot towers in the Financial District, and apparently Silicon Valley thinks the 70-hour work week is cool again.

Meanwhile, Gen Z has basically taken over ChatGPT (and half of them are just messing around with it), and governments are out here hiring AI ministers — shoutout Albania and Estonia. Oh, and Tesla robots? They’re not just folding laundry, they’re landing billion-dollar pharma deals and stepping into UFC cages.

Plus, we cover some of the week’s wildest stories:

💸 California’s plan to tax vacant commercial space — smart policy or just silly?
🎰 Manhattan casinos rejected, despite Jay-Z and Caesars backing the bids.
🏟️ Former NFL QBs (Tebow, Elway, Bortles) raising $100M for mixed-use stadium developments.
📺 A&E’s new CRE reality show, The Real Estate Commission, starring Todd from Albany.
