This week on Equity, the podcast crew discusses several weird things, including autonomous trucking startup TuSimple’s pivot to… AI-generated animation and video games.

Equity is a show about the business of startups, where we unpack the numbers and nuance behind the headlines. New episodes drop at 7 a.m. PT every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
