🎙️ The Drive at Five - TIER, Getir, AI oh my! Lilium, and updates on the Tech.eu Summit

Aaaaaand we're back! Due in part to the Tech.eu editorial staff being here there and everywhere last week, the Drive at Five took a breather, but to make up for the absence friend of the show Nick Stevens sits in to provide a comprehensive rundown of what went down in the world of AI this week and what the implications are.
