🎧 161 - Perplexity is so back, and AI doing something useful

This week, we're diving into the tangible, system-shaking ways AI is finally proving its worth—from crushing opaque billing systems to navigating complex legal waters. Plus, we're giving a shout-out to Perplexity as it continues to impress, and breaking down a massive legal threat to OpenAI that could cost billions. Get ready for a preview of the real AI revolution.

In This Episode:

• The $162,000 Win: How one person used Anthropic's Claude to reduce a hospital bill by 83% by exposing duplicate and illegal charges, demonstrating AI's power to flatten systemic opacity.

• OpenAI Policy Clarified: We cut through the confusion regarding ChatGPT's ability to help with medical and legal issues, confirming the model can still assist with personal matters.

• Perplexity's Power Play: Exploring why Perplexity is gaining traction, especially as a "best-in-class" finance tool with useful features like live stock tickers and providing accurate, up-to-date information.

• The Copyright Bomb: Details on the lawsuit against OpenAI for allegedly pirating books to train their models, which could lead to billions in damages if found liable.

• Google's AI Domination: Breaking down the massive $1B/year deal for Apple to integrate Google's Gemini model into Siri, a huge win for Google in the AI race.

  • Content Slop on Steroids: An Instagram Reels AI agent is analyzed, demonstrating how AI can scrape, analyze, and extract every creative insight from trending content, fueling the creation of optimized, high-volume "slop."

  • Nvidia's Dominance: Nvidia's stock price soars on a flood of massive new partnerships—including Eli Lilly, Palantir, Hyundai, Samsung, and Uber (for a 100,000 robotaxi fleet)—and a $1 billion investment in Nokia.
