I actually have a new vibe coding project that I have been working on for the last few weeks called AIChatDailycom.
If you want to get basically an email version of this podcast into your inbox every single day, Go subscribe over on AI Chat Daily dot com.
And also I'll leave links in the show notes to the stories that I've covered.
We also generate articles and write articles with more in-depth details about all of these stories and topics.
And so that's all on the website as well.
It's basically kind of like TechCrunch and Bloomberg mixed together with an amazing newsletter.
So if you want to check it out, it is AIChatDaily.com, linked in the description.
We'll be right back.
Cites Ilya Suskofer's document and is kind of roasting Sam Altman.
Anthropic has officially overtaken OpenAI on ramp business spend.
I love these reports because you know we're getting like, the information from an actual company that's tracking how much money businesses are spending.
We have XAI that has added 19 new gas turbines at their Colossus 2.
There's a bunch of lawsuits around this, but it's just showing how a lot of these data centers are having to power up with the current grid restrictions we have today.
In addition, there's a couple of interesting headlines I wanted to cover, which is that Sam Altman is testifying and he said that Elon Musk was asking for long term opening eye control before they split from him.
Also, Mark Zuckerberg has unveiled incognito chat.
This is an end to end encrypted meta platform.
Let's kick this off with the XAI story.
So XAI has added 19 more gas turbines at their Colossus 2 data center. is kind of suing them.
They had got some emails from the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and those emails basically showed that between March and May XAI installed 19 new additional gas turbines at Colossus II, their data center.
That site currently has 46 turbines.
That's over 500 megawatts of new gas generation that they've added since mid-March alone.
This is what I think a lot of people are, this is what gets in the news a lot anyways.
The NAACP filed a lawsuit against XAI in April over air quality and environmental concerns.
Justice concerns right.
The NAACP is not usually concerned about environmental issues.
They're not usually concerned about suing companies for like, you know, how their generators, right?
They're usually trying to protect people of color, and that's kind of what their organization does, right.
So this is kind of weird in my opinion.
Specifically, they're saying that their There are.
You know, in this area there's a disproportionate amount of people of color that are being affected by the gas powered generators, which are giving poor air quality.
Anyways, I think it's really weird for the lawsuit to be coming there from the NAACP.
It feels very political in a way, considering Elon Musk had ties to the Trump administration.
All of that.
So for me personally, I think that's not great.
But I mean, maybe they have some grounds, right?
Perhaps.
Eight of the 19 new turbines that they've just added over there.
That added more than 200 megawatts.
They were installed after the lawsuit was first filed.
So XAI is basically saying they're like, look, yeah, we see you're you're suing us.
We're going to keep building anyways.
I think this is interesting because basically every hyperscaler right now has to face the same choice.
You can either wait for the grid to upgrade.
We have a massive energy – we have massive energy problems.
And I think in the recent Trump administration they passed a bunch of laws and they're basically telling –
A lot of these data centers.
Look, you should build power generation on site to power your data center.
Personally, I actually think that is the right direction, because I hate it when, one way or another, these data centers get some sort of you know some sort of handout from the government, which happens a lot is in the form of subsidies.
And what like who's paying for the subsidies, it's the people that live there.
So I've seen my electrical prices go up a ton after Arizona gave out, you know, for my, my homes in Arizona.
After Arizona gave out a bunch of subsidies to data centers and other places.
I don't know if that's directly tied or correlated, but When I see subsidies going out and my electric price doubles in four years, I'm not going to be thrilled about it.
With all of that happening, I know like a lot of people throw shade at XAI because they're like oh, they're gas turbines yada, yada.
But like at the end of the day, I'm really happy that they are generating their own power on site.
So at least people's electrical costs don't go up as far as you know, creating smog and other things.
I would hope that they have some sort of good carbon capture system. programs.
And if they don't, I mean, that's something you should probably litigate or get figured out.
But I don't think intrinsically having gas fired generators is Um at the end of the world, considering that's how a huge portion of America is powered.
I think people just don't know that.
But anyways, at the end of the day, a lot of these hyperscalers are going to have to find solutions for more gigawatts of power.
We litigated nuclear to oblivion, and now we're trying to litigate gas.
And at the end of the day, like we need electricity from some source and solar and wind.
It's not going to do it for every place and for every data center, so I hope that we get this problem figured out.
Okay, next up, we have AI chatbots that are leaking real phone numbers, and this isn't just one chatbot.
This is all of them.
This is Google, this is OpenAI, and this is Anthropic.
There is a company it's a security firm called DeleteMe and they basically help people scrub their personal info off of data broker sites.
And they published a report basically showing how many people were complaining about their data showing up specifically in AI-related chats.
So someone's going to go prompt ChatGPT and say, what is Jaden Schaefer's phone number?
What is his address?
And they would get my information back.
Of all of the complaints that people have kind of submitted to delete me, 55 are coming from ChatGPT, 20 from Gemini and 15 from Claude, and then 10 are coming from other tools.
But I think basically people are asking chatbots, you know, People's addresses, their phone numbers, their family information, and they're getting actual real responses back.
So where is all of that data in particular coming from?
It's coming from data brokers.
In California, 31 of the 578 registered data brokers self-reported that they are selling or sharing consumer data with generative AI developers in the last 12 months.
And so basically, that's the supply chain of where all this information is getting into the AI models.
That data is bought.
It's then fed into the models and the models spit it back out if you know how to prompt it the right way.
So I think there's going to be a whole new category born out of this kind of like privacy tooling layer around some of these foundational models.
I think people are going to.
I mean, just like in healthcare and so many other industries, this is something that is not great.
So I think we're going to start seeing a lot of products to help solve this problem.
And even if you think about like, what zuckerberg is doing, you know, he just and he just like came out with end-to-end encrypted meta ai mode uh, a new you know thing called incognito chat.
It's kind of the same thing, but it's, i guess, a different response to this.
So i think a lot of the market is going to start focusing on making sure that this is not a problem anymore.
Okay, Next up, Sam Altman just spent four hours on the stand in his trial Elon Musk versus Sam Altman.
And in this whole lawsuit Elon Musk, I guess for a little bit of context spent about three days on the stand earlier in the trial.
And I felt bad because you kind of had like Elon Musk was the first one on the stand.
He got absolutely roasted.
And then everyone's like, oh my gosh, he's toast.
Then it feels kind of like a boxing match, right?
Now we got Sam Altman on the stand.
Now we're going to roast him.
Anyways, this goes back and forth.
I'm not particularly on anyone's side with all of this.
Although I do feel like it's kind of shady for you know a nonprofit to become a for-profit company.
I guess maybe that's a bit of a bias there, but and it's not even particularly Sam Altman or opening.
I just wouldn't want to see that with any company, but regardless.
Sam Altman.
People are saying got off relatively light this time, but the cross-examination was super brutal.
So Elon Musk's lawyer is Stephen Molo, and he opened up by asking Sam Altman directly whether he was quote completely trustworthy.
Then Molo pulled out a 52-page document that was compiled by Ilya Suskovor, which is Sam Altman's former co-founder and also the former chief scientist at OpenAI.
And this is something that Suskovor has described basically as documenting.
Quote, a consistent pattern of line by Sam Altman
So the lawyer pulls out this document by his former co-founder and goes through this consistent pattern of line and every single thing in it.
So this is a real document.
It's about 52 pages long and it's from Suscover, when he tried to fire Sam Altman back in November of 2023.
And I guess this document was sort of the justification that Ilya had for trying to make this decision.
Of course, we know Sam Altman came back.
Ilya Suscover left.
A lot of the founders and co-founders of OpenAI left.
There's a lot of drama in all of that.
But I think right now bringing this up, I don't know if it's really going to change much of the verdict of the case.
We have, of course, $150 billion Elon Musk is asking for in damages from OpenAI.
And he said that he's going to donate those damages back into OpenAI's nonprofit.
So he's like, look, pay me $150 billion. and then turn it back into a nonprofit.
I'll donate the money back to the nonprofit and kick out Sam Altman.
What I don't think is going to happen is I don't think Elon's actually going to get $150 billion.
I don't know if it's going to have to convert back to a nonprofit.
But regardless, I think, the reputational damage of having this Ilya Suskovor document because it's kind of private and to the board when they're firing Sam.
But having this read into the record trial, I think that is something that is going to follow Sam Altman for years, because now it's official and public.
So that is going to be something Sam Altman is going to be dealing with for a long time.
Okay, if you're already a paying customer for ChatGPT, Claude Gemini Grok, you know Sora for video or 11 Labs.
I would love for you to check out my startup, which is AIboxai.
I have every single one of the top AI models.
There's over 80 of them all in one place.
And for $8.99 a month, you get access to all of the top models from ChatGP, Gemini, Claude, Grok.
We have a whole bunch of really cool video models, a bunch of cool image models.
We have music generation models.
We have 11 labs for audio.
Instead of having to pay.
I mean it's at least 20 a month for almost any subscription to any AI model.
So rather than paying for a few of those, for $8.99, you get access to all of it on AIbox.ai.
I'll leave a link in the description.
This is my own startup.
I would love for you to try it out.
I hope it saves you a ton of money and just consolidates everything in one place for you.
All right, let's get into a couple pieces of Anthropic news.
The first one is that Ramp, which is the corporate spending platform.
They just released their May AI index yesterday.
And for the first time ever, Anthropic is the top vendor for paid business AI.
There's 34
04 of businesses that in ramps, sample of businesses that are paying for Anthropic service, and of OpenAI 323.
So Anthropic is officially passing OpenAI for the top AI model that businesses are paying for.
This is what I think is pretty wild.
12 months ago, Anthropic was at 9%.
So they're going from 9% in one year.
They've now added 26 points of paid business adoption.
And I think overall, AI spending, the whole market only grew 9%.
So they are way up, I don't think they just took share.
I think they basically kind of redrew this whole map.
And I actually love these reports coming from a company like Ramp because they basically Ramp processes, expense data for over 50000 client companies.
It's kind of fun when you have someone like this.
Mercury also does great reports in this direction, but it's not kind of like an analyst estimate or like a survey.
It is, you know, the vendors and it's literally what people are swiping their corporate cards on.
So it's basically the cleanest, most legitimate kind of expense tracking that we can get into who's spending money on what.
So huge fan of the fact that these reports go out.
Okay, the next thing for Anthropic that we have to talk about is that Anthropic has just launched something called Claude for Small Business.
It's basically a toggle inside of the co-work agent platform and And Cowork is the product that basically, I use it every single day.
I don't even use Cloud Code.
I just use Cloud Cowork.
It can take control of your computer.
It can browse the web for you.
It can manage all the files on your computer.
It can do tons of workflows.
I have automations.
I have skills where I teach you how to do something and it can do them every day.
So anyways, the small business bundle is now going to add bookkeeping, business insights, ad generation, and all of this is going to be directly tied into integrations with other third party software.
So, for example QuickBooks Canva DocuSign HubSpot, PayPal.
Those are some of the apps that I think small businesses actually use every single day.
And this is what Anthropic is tying in.
Now what's wild is that the market is about 36 million US small businesses, 44 of US GDP, which is almost half of the private sector workforce.
It's all in SMBs.
And so Anthropic is trying to target this heavily.
I mean, personally, I think this is a brilliant move.
It's a massive market.
Making this easier for those customers is a great play.
I personally, the other day, was just using QuickBooks to go through all of my expenses and categorize them inside of.
Sorry, I was using Claude Cowork inside of my QuickBooks to categorize all of my expenses.
And it was really cool because if it didn't know what a specific expense was, it would go to Google, search the name of the company, figure out what they did, go back and then know how to accurately expense that out.
And I actually was able to tell my accountant... who I usually pay to do that.
Like hey look, I mean keep doing my taxes and a few other things for me.
But like for expense categories, categorization.
I don't really need that anymore.
I think a lot of small businesses are going to see a lot of really great ways to save money and also great ways to be more productive with a lot of these tools.
Anthropic is absolutely going after a great segment.
I'm excited to see where they continue to put out new products.
This will be phenomenal.
Okay, that's the show for today.
If you got something out of it.
I would absolutely love it if you dropped a comment over on Apple on Spotify.
If you listened to three episodes, you can leave a review.
So if you've listened to at least three episodes, leave a review on Spotify.
It's the About tab, and you can drop some stars.
All right, catch you guys all in the next episode.
