Welcome to a conversation at the cutting edge where AI is no longer just software but becoming essential hardware woven into daily life and global infrastructure. This episode dives into the fierce competition between Meta’s ambitious smart glasses and OpenAI’s simpler, more ambient wearable concepts—all driven by staggering breakthroughs like Grok 4 fast, an AI model slashing costs by 98% while vastly boosting performance and memory capacity. We unpack how these AI hardware wars link to seismic shifts in geopolitics with chip supply bans, transformative layoffs at platforms like Fiverr pivoting toward AI-driven automation, and the emergence of AI-generated music signing multi-million dollar record deals. If the cost of intelligence keeps collapsing this fast, how soon will AI fundamentally redefine human knowledge work? Join us as we connect the dots, revealing what this rapid AI evolution means for marketers, tech professionals, and anyone curious about the future of intelligence.
