🐶 Dogs don’t care about your sleep schedule, and apparently neither does AI, the metaverse, or the global cloud industry. Welcome to our annual Predictions Review Episode, where we celebrate how *mostly wrong* Ned was about everything (as usual) and how Chris continues to coast on vague predictions like an AI-enhanced Nostradamus.  

Here’s what we covered this week:  
🎯 Reviewing bold predictions about cloud revenue, AI lawsuits, and the elusive metaverse  
📈 Why CXL, PCIe 6, and RISC-V didn’t exactly take the world by storm  
🧠 How AI assistant fever continues to sweep the industry despite lawsuits and shady tactics  
👓 The rise and fall of Apple Vision Pro, and whether Facebook's Orion glasses are next  
💡 Who got it right (spoiler: not Ned) and what’s coming in 2025  

Join us for our last episode of 2024 as we laugh, groan, and occasionally pat ourselves on the back. Stick around for some bonus ranting about eggnog.
