Welcome to the podcast. I lost my voice over the weekend. So my voice is a little bit gone. We're

making a bit of a comeback. I'll try to talk quiet and boost the audio afterwards. I had a pretty

busy weekend with my voice being lost. I ended up actually having to give a talk at church. So that was a lot of fun

whispering into microphone. And also I went very viral on LinkedIn and Reddit for just a crap post that I put

out there was really funny.

But the numbers on it are hilarious.

And also the topic is AI-related.

So I'll be covering that along with Meta and Andrel's AI Glasses collaboration, some bug bounty AI

Slop struggles that the industry is facing, a huge energy merger with Next Era and Dominion

for $66 billion.

Amazon Alexa Plus doing AI podcasts, some companies raising money. There's a lot going on on the podcast

today. So let's get into it. The first thing I want to talk about is kind of fun and funny to kick

the week off. I posted over on LinkedIn as a joke. I had my son just took a picture of me

sitting on the back of my truck with a laptop on each of my knees. I recently got

another laptop because the one I currently have wasn't powerful enough. So I let my wife have it.

I actually stole it from her a long time ago. So I was just giving it back to her and got a new one.

But anyways, I had a laptop on each knee and I said, just bought a second MacBook Air so I can now

have two Claude Macs

subscriptions running at once. Anyways, obviously this is a joke. I was like, let me walk you through

the math and then I go, I proceed to say that a Claude Max plan is worth $11,000 a month in

raw API compute and basically said that because I kept paying my token limit,

you know, it's so subsidized, you're just making so much money, you have to have this.
