Wait.... did OpenAI and Anthropic take a week off? 🤔
After a relatively quiet week of updates from AI's normal heavyweights in Anthropic and OpenAI, their competitors (and backers) picked up the slack.
↳ Meta is making AI chips but cutting jobs.
↳ NVIDIA is investing billions in Open Source AI.
↳ Perplexity is trying to bring back the Personal Computer.
↳ Google is dropping AI in your docs and your car
And a whole lot more.
Don't waste hours each week trying to make sense of the AI developments. That's our job.

AI hasn't caused mass unemployment. Yet. 😳
Although Anthropic's new study on the labor market impacts of AI showed no real signs of massive job disruption in jobs exposed to AI, it did outline which sectors and job types might be first on the AI automation chopping block.
On today's show, we'll not only break that down, but also dive deeper into a more immediately impactful job trend that AI has caused. And your company definitely can't afford to ignore it.

Everyone's chasing the next big model drop.🫳
Meanwhile, the AI updates that actually change how you work? Flying completely under the radar.
The flashy headlines get the clicks. The incremental features, quiet rollouts, and "minor" updates? That's where the real compounding value lives, and almost nobody's talking about them.
We've been guilty of chasing the shiny objects too. That changes today.
New segment on Everyday AI: the AI updates that actually matter, without the hype.
Starting with 7 huge AI feature updates you probably missed.

Spent hours testing AI models? ⏳
Same.
Openclaw setup still broken, heartbeat still dead? ☠️
Yep, been there.
Perplexity’s new agentic tool called Computer might’ve finally solved it.
With no technical knowledge and a simple prompt, you can have agent swarms actually working for you and getting stuff done.
Did we finally arrive in AI agent nirvana?
Probably not.
Because as impressive as it is, there’s one big caveat that will likely stop it dead in its tracks.

While Anthropic and the Pentagon fought, OpenAI swooped in to secure a big deal.
But at what cost?
And while it seemed like the entire AI news world was wrapped up in the Anthropic-Trump-OpenAI drama, the rest of big tech went nuts.
Microsoft teased something agentic, Claude actually shipped it, and Perplexity dropped probably its most important product to date.
This week’s theme apparently: drama and agents.
