Podcast Transcript

Jordan Wilson [00:00:16]:
Google had so many AI wins this week. We could only talk about their massive movements today, and that would cover a majority of the AI news for this week. I mean, they shipped some huge AI model updates. They brought agentic features to Google search, and they may beat Amazon and apple for the first new age AI assistant in your home. And that's just the low hanging fruit of what Google was up to, but their biggest AI competitors did not have the best week. I mean, Apple is reportedly so far behind that their revamped AI Siri may need Google's models, and OpenAI is already shifting the focus to g b t six after a rocky rollout to g b t five. Sheesh. So much going on this week.

Jordan Wilson [00:01:09]:
It was actually hard to whittle down what is the most important AI news, but that's what we're here for, and let's dive into it. What's going on y'all? My name is Jordan Wilson, and welcome to Everyday AI. This is your daily livestream podcast and free daily newsletter helping everyday business leaders like you and me, not just keep up with AI, but how we can make sense of it all and leverage it to get ahead to grow our companies and our careers. If that's what you're trying to do, it starts here with the unedited, unscripted livestream podcast. But if you wanna take it to the next level, youreverydayai.com. Let me repeat that. Youreverydayai.com. So, every single day, we recap the highlights from our livestream podcast, and as well as keep you up to date with everything else happening in the world of AI in that free daily newsletter.

Jordan Wilson [00:01:54]:
So if you haven't signed up, make sure you go do that. And with that, let's get straight into it. There's so much to cover this week in the AI news that matters for August 25. And if you are brand new here, almost every single Monday, we do this AI news that matters so you don't have to waste hours every single day wondering about what all of this AI movement means. We spend hours every single day, and then we, on Mondays, break it down for you. So let's get into it first and foremost. Yeah. GPT six is already a thing.

Jordan Wilson [00:02:27]:
That's because that's where Sam Altman has kind of shifted his focus right now. So according to reports, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the company is said the company totally screwed up g p t five's rollout after making it the default over their previous apparently very beloved model g p t four o, which triggered a swift backlash in a partial reversal that they later restored four zero four paying users. So apparently, Sam Altman went out to dinner with a bunch of journalists, and this is one of the topics that came up. So Sam Altman already talking about GPT six and admitting that there was some problems, we'll say that, with the GPT five rollout. So Altman also said that upgrading a product for hundreds of millions of, of people in one day was a mistake, noting that people had formed habits and even emotional bonds with GPT four o. Yeah. I we already went into that. It's it's I don't know y'all.

Jordan Wilson [00:03:30]:
It's kinda it's kinda weird, but, we broke that down, about two weeks ago. So if you wanna go listen to that, episode five eighty seven, GPT five was canceled for being a bad therapist and why I said I thought that was a bad idea that people are using it as one. But Altman estimated that fewer than one percent of users ultimately have unhealthy relationships with GPT four o in that regard. But when you talk about 700,000,000 people, that's still millions of people that were probably way too reliant on OpenAI's old model just for their day to day functioning. Also, Altman is reportedly shifting his focus to GPT six. Yay. We can already start hyping, GPT six now even though GPT five has been out for, like, not even two weeks. So the mandate for g p t six is to feel, much more personal without exploiting vulnerable users, which likely means stronger safety guardrails, more user controlled tone settings, which I'd look forward to, and explicit consent for companion like behaviors.

Jordan Wilson [00:04:38]:
So Altman said the gap between g p t five and g p t six will be shorter than the jump from g p t four to five, but GPU shortages are a gating factor. And OpenAI did say, and Sam Altman said that OpenAI had better models but can't deploy them widely due to capacity limits. He also, in the meeting, floated the, idea that demand could require trillions of dollars in new data centers. And then we did see if you read our daily newsletter each and every week, you did see, OpenAI's CFO kind of hit that they may eventually get into the infrastructure game, which would obviously make sense because right now they're having to pay technically some of their competitors, in Microsoft and Google to help serve their models. Alright. More OpenAI drama. We're just gonna get that all out of the way first, and then focus on what's new, but this one's pretty big. So OpenAI is asking a court to compel Meta to produce documents about any co, coordination with Elon Musk's x AI.

Jordan Wilson [00:05:44]:
So, essentially, reports just came out that Elon Musk and his x AI slash Grok, kind of AI company asked Meta and specifically CEO Mark Zuckerberg to join them in a bid, to buy OpenAI for an unsolicited bid, FYI, that we covered and destroyed, this I don't know what like, what this was all about, but a $97,000,000,000 offer, to acquire OpenAI, which obviously is a laughable, and not a serious offer, and that was back in February, which obviously, OpenAI rejected. So OpenAI says that it subpoenaed Meta in June after learning that Musk reached out to Mark Zuckerberg about the XAI bid, including inquiries about potential investments, though it's unclear whether Meta holds responsive documents. So Meta objected to the subpoena in July, and OpenAI is now seeking a court order for Meta's records concerning any actual or potential restructuring or recapitalization of OpenAI, which is central to Musk's lawsuit. Yeah. This lawsuit's been going on, which in AI years, it seems like it's, like, thirty years it's been going on. Right? Elon Musk, suing OpenAI, a, a company that he kind of helped start and was on the board of, you know, being an original cofounder. So a Meta spokesperson pointed to OpenAI's filing noting that neither Meta nor Zuckerberg signed Musk's letter of intent. And Meta declined further comments, and OpenAI and Musk's legal team did not immediately respond to reports.

Jordan Wilson [00:07:20]:
So, Musk's broader lawsuit challenges OpenAI's conversion of its for profit arm into a PBC or a public benefits corporation, arguing that it violates the company's founding mission, which is not illegal. While OpenAI says the structure is needed to raise capital and potentially go public in the future. So, pretty interesting now that we technically have a third party that, seemingly was roped into this ordeal. So we don't know yet, if these conversations were fruitful or went anywhere when Elon Musk, reached out to Mark Zuckerberg. So I'm gonna be curious if did Elon need the money or was he just trying to get, kind of the second tier AI companies? And I'm not saying that in a bad way. Right? I think that it's very clear, that OpenAI and Google, are kind of on the one a, one b, or one b, one a, whichever way you look at it. Microsoft, obviously, benefiting from that partnership with OpenAI. I I think they're right up there in the one c.

Jordan Wilson [00:08:25]:
Then you have a little bit of a drop off, and then you have, anthropic x AI, and, Meta as well. So maybe it's, you know, well, look, closest competitors trying to team up to for this kind of takeover bid, in which, by the way, the the whole bid that we covered that, at length, back in February. It was essentially a ploy, from Elon Musk to try to stop OpenAI, from growing. Right? And, you know, essentially, Elon Musk, has a bone to pick with OpenAI over the past few years, because he says that they've strayed from their original mission, which he invested heavily in in the early years. This one's juicy y'all and I might have to hot take Tuesday. This one tomorrow. We'll see. So the headline and the story that everyone's been talking about over the past, seventy two hours or so.

Jordan Wilson [00:09:24]:
So a new MIT study kind of says that ninety five percent of generative AI pilots aren't delivering positive ROI, raising concerns from some that there is an AI bubble, but companies claim they are scaling by picking fixing accuracy and workflow issues. So according to MIT's state of AI in business 2025 reports, which was based on 300 public deployments and a 150 executive interviews, 40% of organizations say they've deployed AI tools. And I'm wondering, like, what companies are they talking to? What companies? 60% of companies haven't deployed AI tools. Like, I don't know. Like, when I read that, I'm like, I, like, I really wanna know every single company and who they talk to because I that doesn't make sense. We're in the year 2025. There's there's very few, companies that are still around that haven't deployed AI tools. Anyways, their study found that only 5% have integrated them at scale.

Jordan Wilson [00:10:35]:
So the study says most projects stall in pilot's purgatory because employees must double check outputs, wiping out efficiency gains and eroding trust in high stakes settings. Investors are reportedly shorting AI stocks, over the past few days on fears that enterprise adoption is scaling. Although the report highlighting a small, cohort that is successfully scaling. So, the company cites adoption by Fortune five hundred's government agencies and regulated industries positioning itself as evidence that the right design choices can close the GenAI divide. So this is the news recap. So maybe I'll save this. I don't know. Should, should I do a hot take Tuesday on this one? I kind of last time MIT had a viral study, their brain rot, which was one of the most, in my opinion, ill conceived studies that I've read over the past few years.

Jordan Wilson [00:11:38]:
I don't know. Say MIT, yes, or MIT, no. Alright? So I think on Spotify, you can leave a comment on the show. So go ahead do that if you want. The hot take Tuesday. That's kinda what we do on Tuesdays. If if I should do this live stream audience, let me know. MIT, yes or MIT, no.

Jordan Wilson [00:11:52]:
Should I should I dig into this study a little bit? As a former journalist, like this one, unlike MIT's brain rot study, which was their fault that they put out a terrible study, this one is not so much that MIT put out a terrible study. I would not have put out the study in this way, as someone that literally I've been, reading and reporting on studies for twenty years. Not the best one. So let me know. MIT, yes. MIT, no. Should we tear this one up a little bit, for hot take Tuesday? Alright. Here's speaking of hot takes, here's one from Microsoft's AI boss, our next piece of AI news.

Jordan Wilson [00:12:30]:
So Microsoft's, Mustafa Suleiman warns of risks from AI becoming maybe sentient. So, Suleiman is the head of AI at Microsoft and has raised some urgent concerns about the rise of seemingly conscious AI or SCAI. Alright. So when I say SCAI, talking about seemingly conscious AI, which are AI systems designed to convincingly imitate consciousness without actually being conscious. So, he just post a very good read, about this on his personal site, and we did link to this in our newsletter last week. That's why you gotta read it every day. So he explained that SCAI is not science fiction, but in imminent reality, achievable with current technology and simple engineering over the next two to3 years. So when you combine advanced language skills, memory, goal setting, and apparent self awareness, that's when you might, get to this seemingly conscious AI.

Jordan Wilson [00:13:32]:
So the core risk arises, Suleyman said, because humans are naturally, humans naturally attribute consciousness to entities that talk, remember, and express emotions even when these are simulations leading to a growing number of people who may believe AI companions are truly sentient. So Suleyman warns this belief could lead to serious societal problems, including AI psychosis, where users from false, form, false attachments, or delusions about AI. They advocate for AI rights, so they treat AI like they're humans or confuse AI companionship with real relationships, which we actually saw already happening with millions of people when, GPT or, OpenAI, essentially just wiped out GPT four o overnight, and millions of people apparently lost their screw, lost their noodles because they had formed probably some, in some cases, unhealthy attachments to a specific model. So yeah. That one's gonna be interesting. Actually, gonna see if we can get, Mustafa on the show, here in the coming months. All right. Now it's, it's turning the page on the Google hour.

Jordan Wilson [00:14:43]:
Like Google had so many, both major and low key moves, this week and some leaks. It's hard not to talk about many of them. So first, Google is expanding their AI mode with a giant ticket features. So, they just announced this at their big event on, on Friday. So these features are set to launch first for Google AI Ultra subscribers in The US, though the agentic capabilities in AI mode is an experiment in labs, making it limited to early access release. But here's a little bit about what will eventually be coming, on the agentic side to Google search. And, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, did say he did say previously that Google's normal search would eventually, be replaced by AI mode, which is why these updates to AI mode are really important to talk about. So now AI mode also is expanding to over a 180 additional countries and territories in English, and that is already kicked off.

Jordan Wilson [00:16:03]:
So you don't have to have a paid Google plan, to have the Google AI mode, but these agentic features that are rolling out, at least right now, they're limited to those paying, the hefty price for Ultra. So the new experience pulls real time availability across reservation platforms and presents a curated list of restaurants that match specific constraints, such as party size, date, location, cuisine, then links directly to the booking page to complete the reservation. So, yeah, if you give, Google AI mode a little bit of criteria, it'll actually just go agentically do the reservations for you. So under the hood, Google said it uses live web browsing via Project Mariner, which I've enjoyed using, and direct partner integrations and signals from their knowledge graph and Google Maps. Partners right now include OpenTable, Resi, Talk, Ticketmaster, StubHub, SeatGeek, Booksy, and others. So right now, the agentic capabilities available in AI mode are mainly focused on reservations and buying tickets. Although there are plans, for this to roll out more broadly across different services and businesses in the near future. Also, there's some new personalization updates, so those features are live for US users opted into AI mode in labs, and that surfaces dining results tailored to inferred preferences according to what you search.

Jordan Wilson [00:17:29]:
So users also do remain in control of personalization with settings adjustable in their Google account. There's also a new link sharing feature, which seems pretty cool, that lets users share AI mode results so friends and family can continue the same thread. So, yeah, if you haven't used AI mode, it's actually really, really cool. And I think it's a cool way, for people to experience a little bit of AI. I'm I'm always, you know, telling my wife when she's googling something on her phone. I'm like, oh, click on AI mode and keep talking with it. Right? So I think it's just a nice way, to get kind of, almost like deep research ask because even in AI mode, it the the response might only take five seconds, maybe last three seconds. And oftentimes, it's going to fifty, seventy, 80 websites each and every time.

Jordan Wilson [00:18:19]:
So Google obviously has a huge advantage there with their cache of, pages, that they can go through very quickly. More Google y'all. So are we finally gonna get some actual smart AI assistance? Well, maybe. Google has unveiled its plans for Gemini for Home to replace their Google assistance. So Google is rolling out an all new voice assistant for the home in October, at least for early access, signaling a major shift in smart home control and a direct challenge to Amazon's Alexa Plus, which I don't know. Does anyone actually have access to that? So, anyways, Google says their new Gemini for home will ultimately replace their older AI assistant. So if you look at the I like to say the the the dumb AI assistants that have been around for ten years. Right? The original Siri, original Alexa, original Siri, original Alexa, original Google Assistant.

Jordan Wilson [00:19:21]:
And now we're ushering in this wave of large language model powered AI assistant. So that's what we're seeing here. Google getting official talking about their, Gemini powered Google for home. So now, kinda stays on in the background, and some of the, first offerings are, apparently gonna be rolling out on Nest speakers and displays. So you can keep the kind of, hey, Google wake phrase while adding more natural context aware voice control. So, the rollout begins in October with an early access program, for both free and paid users, though Google has not announced pricing for the premium plan. So Gemini live will also be integrated for more conversational back and forth without having to repeatedly say, hey, Google, or having to repeat the context. Right? That's one of the things that's worse for me.

Jordan Wilson [00:20:10]:
Try to use these old school dumb, you you know, voice assistance is, you know, for three plus years. Right? Using, large language models, even before that, but more in the chat interface. Right? You're so used to having that context. So, you know, having five, ten, fifteen, twenty, conversations without having to repeat the context or repeat what you're talking about. And that's when you're trying to use these home assistants. It's it's terrible. Right? Because we've ingrained probably a good habit of the smart AI, you know, kind of remembering things. So pretty exciting here.

Jordan Wilson [00:20:46]:
So, Google may bundle some premium features into existing subscriptions such as Nest Aware or Google One. So access will likely be gated through Google's public preview program at first with a cautious phased rollout due to safety concerns around controlling critical devices like locks, appliances, and HVAC systems. So, yeah, I might have to, you know, get get myself one of these. I have a couple of Alexas around the house, but I I haven't gotten, access to the, Alexa plus, which is powered by Claude. So I I don't know. Might have to, jump ship there with a smart home assistant His chances are we're gonna be waiting until like 2045 for apple to roll one out. Speaking of apple and voice assistance, talk about an intentional transition. So apple is so far behind in this Siri that they've been promising for, like, a year and a half, and they face multiple lawsuits, class action lawsuits about this because they're like, oh, buy our new hardware.

Jordan Wilson [00:21:48]:
You're gonna get this new smart AI Siri. You're not. They can't build it, And it's getting so bad. We've reported on this previously that they were maybe gonna, partner with OpenAI. But according to a new report from Bloomberg, they're actually maybe gonna be partnering with their biggest rival in Google. So Apple, according to, Bloomberg report, is in early talks to use Google's Gemini as the backbone for their new version of Siri. So according to the report, Apple has approached Google to build a custom AI model for Siri that could debut next year with Google already training a version designed to run on Apple servers. That is huge.

Jordan Wilson [00:22:29]:
The fact that they've already started training a version, I I mean, Gemini's voice assistant, Gemini live, really, really good. So, if they've already are trying to train a version specifically for Apple, which, you know, has to run on their, you know, private and semi private cloud, I don't understand Apple's cloud, but that's pretty big news right there. So the discussions are described as early and private, meaning terms could change or the deal could fall through. But the talk signal Apple's willingness to source core AI tech externally and especially from one of their biggest competitors on the hardware side. That's the part that's crazy to me. Yeah. It didn't really take me too far back, or it didn't take I wasn't too far taken aback, by previous reporting that we've talked about on the show, that Apple was reportedly in talks with OpenAI, to use their, kind of, advanced voice mode AI powered tech because they have the partnership right now. So with the Google one, this is a little surprising.

Jordan Wilson [00:23:26]:
So, running the model on Apple's servers according to report does suggest more of a hybrid approach because Apple can enforce privacy and security, and also control, how Google's, AI is leveraged. And this is pretty big news because there would probably be some little regulatory scrutiny. Yeah. But, basically, any deal that could come between Apple and Google, two of the five biggest companies in the world, or or two of the four biggest companies in the world, is gonna be heavily scrutinized, by the Department of Justice, potential antitrust attention. So, yeah, it could help benefit anyone that is an iPhone user. That's myself. But we'll see if it actually, the deal actually happens or if maybe it falls through. Alright.

Jordan Wilson [00:24:15]:
We have a, one one slide I forgot to put up. Right? So I don't I don't have the slide for this one. Sorry y'all, but this one is pretty big news. So, according to a new report, Meta is freezing hiring in their AI division amid some market jitters. So Meta has frozen all of its hiring in its AI division as part of a leadership reshuffle according to a report from The Wall Street Journal. So the move comes as tech, as tech stocks late last week tied to AI saw a sharp sell off with shares of NVIDIA and Palantir, dropping, fueling concerns that valuations ran ahead of current capabilities and revenue. So, yeah, we saw all these stories. Oh, Meta is pausing AI hiring.

Jordan Wilson [00:25:07]:
That doesn't make sense. They've spent billions, literally billions of dollars acquiring, like, a dozen people. Right? Giving them, a lot of them, multi $100,000,000 offers over the course of a few years. So, yeah, for a lot of people, this isn't adding up this, story. Also, Alexander Wang, who's met us recently hired chief AI officer, and you could say he might be like in theory, at least when it comes to AI, he's second in command. Right? Aside from CEO Mark Zuckerberg. So on Twitter, Wang denied the reporting saying, and I quote, we are truly only investing more and more into Meta Superintelligence Labs as a company. Any reporting to the contrary of that is clearly mistaken.

Jordan Wilson [00:25:55]:
Alright. So let's look a little bit more on this report. So Meta, reportedly characterized the freeze as basic organizational planning, aligning it with a broader restructuring of its AI leadership and strategy rather than a budget cutting retreat. So as part of the shakeup, Meta's superintelligence lab or MSL will now house four units. This is like the third time they've reshuffled their AI organization, in the last few weeks. So I don't know. Maybe we should hand the just the organization part over to AI so we don't have to change it, every week and get our audience confused, including myself. I'm I'm reading these stories.

Jordan Wilson [00:26:33]:
I'm like, didn't I report on this the last three weeks? Yes. I did. And they keep shuffling it around. Anyways, so now you have Meta's superintelligence lab housing four units total. So MSL is the umbrella company. So then you have the, the four different units and the AGI Foundation's group responsible for the latest llama models. That one has been dissolved after, the last rollout of their models kind of drew some criticism over some alleged benchmark inflation. So at least three members of the AGI Foundation's team have announced departures according to The Wall Street Journal, raising questions about continuity on meta's core model work.

Jordan Wilson [00:27:16]:
But before the reported freeze, Meta hired more than 50 people for AI, including roughly 20 researchers and engineers, from OpenAI, many of them scoring multimillion or $100,000,000 plus deals. So because of this and a few other things that happened this week, including, you know, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman referencing an AI bubble, analysts have raised red flags about, Meta's reported billion dollar scale compensation offers for key recruits, warning that oversized stock packages could dilute returns for shareholders if performance lags. But the spending backdrops remains intense across industries, with firms investing tens of billions in AI infrastructure while revenue trails increasing the risk that cost may outpace near term payoff for companies and investors. So Mark Zuckerberg insists the new organization can deliver on ambitious goals, including automating all valuable work, what he said, but execution risk is high given leadership churn, product credibility questions, and market skepticism. And I don't know. Is everyone gonna remember what team they're on on Meta when we keep reshuffling, the organizational structure and what everyone works on? So, hopefully, this is the last time that we have to talk about, you know, MSL restructuring and all their on different teams underneath. Right? But alright. That's a lot, but there's still a lot more.

Jordan Wilson [00:28:47]:
So let's talk about what's new and what's next. So this is kind of our new ish. I think we've been doing this for a couple of months. There was so much news this week. We couldn't fit it all and give everything, an actual story. So this is more of our bullet point roundup of things that were either just released, some things that have been rumored, some things that are in testing right now. There is an absolute insane amount. Ready? Alright.

Jordan Wilson [00:29:13]:
First, Meta and Midjourney, are reportedly teaming up, and, plans for future licensing deals in Meta's products. So, Meta may be getting some better AI visuals. Google teased a Gemini enabled smart speaker at their made by Google event. It was just kind of in the background, and everyone's like, wait. That's a new Google speaker. Yeah. Speaking of Google teasing things, they've been teasing very, a lot. So they've been, teasing nano banana, their AI image generating model that could shake up the entire creative industry.

Jordan Wilson [00:29:49]:
I don't wanna be Adobe when nano banana drops and when it drops on the API. My gosh. We've been sharing about this in the newsletter. But maybe we'll do an actual show, when it drops and, maybe get someone from the, from that team on the show as well. If you guys would like that, let me know. Next, we have a new coding model, kind of, under the radar that was spotted in cursor called Sonic. Some are saying it might be Grok's new coding model. Google may be bringing its deep research to NotebookLM according to testing catalog.

Jordan Wilson [00:30:22]:
A new, Google Docs is has rolled out AI generated audio for documents in Google Docs. Google Photos bringing conversational AI editing to Google Photos, with the Pixel their new flagship device, the Pixel 10, getting first access. So pretty cool, like AI photo editing just with your voice. DeepSeek has released its newest model, DeepSeek v three one. Still no updates yet on their r two model. Eleven Labs released their text only AI agents. Microsoft is rolling out a new, copilot function in Excel beta, beta powered by GPT four one. OpenAI, this is a big one.

Jordan Wilson [00:31:05]:
This is how much, like, news there was. OpenAI is rolling out project memory, which seems like a very small thing, but it's actually huge. And we're probably gonna be rolling this out into our, finally refresh, prime prompt polish v two, of course. So project memory, really, really big. Perplexity speaking of memory, perplexity is working on and teasing what they're calling super memory, for users as their CEO said that memory will ultimately be the moat for those companies using AI. Google is testing a way to export Gemini canvas creations to its Firebase studio, which will be amazing. I can't wait for that one to happen. And OpenAI added Gmail, Google Calendar, and Dropbox support to its responses API, which you might not really I mean, unless you're a dev, you might not understand what that means.

Jordan Wilson [00:31:57]:
But essentially, a whole bunch of AI tools out there are now gonna be working better and, more agentically with your Gmail and Google Calendar. So if you are a Google organization versus a Microsoft in terms of your email calendar, etcetera, that one's huge. There's gonna be, probably a ton. I would guess dozens of pretty decent startups, that are either launching or updating their current projects that are gonna just make it easier and better to work through your email and your calendar. So a lot of your day to day, things, it might actually be working much better now and being able to take action on those things. So small update, it seems, but big news. That's what's next and what's new. My gosh.

Jordan Wilson [00:32:39]:
We got to a lot. Let's very quickly recap what was new this week. There's a ton. So, CEO Sam Altman admitted that g p t five got off to a rocky start, and the backlash is actually shaping plans for g p t six as he's already talking about it. OpenAI is seeking records from Meta after Elon Musk's apparent, bid to get, Mark Zuckerberg to join xAI in a OpenAI takeover, Juicy. The new MIT report says that 95% of AI projects failed. Microsoft's Mustafa Salehman warns of AI risk from seemingly conscious AI. Google expanded their AI mode with some agentic features and rolled it out to more countries.

Jordan Wilson [00:33:31]:
Meta is reportedly freezing AI hiring even though its chief AI officer said not true. Google unveiled Gemini for Home to replace their old AI assistant, and they might be the first big company to bring an actual smart LLM powered AI assistant to the home, and beats, Amazon. Speaking of that, Apple is exploring Google Gemini's help for a Siri revamp, and that's it so much. I hope this was helpful. Don't spend hours every single day trying to keep up with the AI news and what it means for you, your company, your department. Join us on Mondays. This is what we do.

So I hope this was helpful. Join us tomorrow for our hot take Tuesday. On Wednesdays, we do putting AI to work at Wednesdays. We'll probably put a poll in our newsletter, either today or tomorrow asking you all what you want for that. I think that's been a pretty well received segment on Wednesdays. People are always like, oh, so many AI tools and modes. What do I do? Well, we get to work with you live on Wednesday, so make sure to join that. And then on Thursdays and Fridays, you know, usually, we do interviews, bring a bunch of smart people on, and talk about certain topics in AI.
