Hi friends, We had two very smart people on yesterday’s show, one of whom talked us through the concept below. Tap in!— # (#) Love, The Boys Writer: Deana Editor: Natasha Octant is making moves. Did you see the $1.2M ShutterDAO news?— # (#) OpenAI killed their AI video app Sora, six months after its launch. Disney's $1B investment deal, announced in December, is dead too as OpenAI presumably trims costs to shore up for its IPO in Q4. Speaking of IPOs, did you buy the crazy AI IPO stock? Happy for you if you did. 🙂 🙂 🙂 Bernie Sanders sat down and interviewed Claude on camera, asked some leading questions about privacy, and got 6.9M views when the chatbot told him exactly what he wanted to hear. Meta announced it's pulling its virtual reality social network then reversed the decision after fan backlash. Reality Labs has lost $73 billion since 2021. Vegas decline discourse/recession indicator. Anyone want to come with me? If Anthropic doesn’t come through with a Meek Mill sponsorship by the end of the week I’m cancelling my Claude subscription. This is a softball for Perplexity or OpenAI if they don’t!!!— # (#) — # (#) — # (#) — # (#) — # (#) If you liked this, send it to a friend. ILY.
