In this episode, Georgia and Matt serve up your weekly dose of AI and cloud news — plus the launch of something brand new (and a little wild):

*The Agentic Series* — our hands-on experiment to see if AI agents can design, build, and run a business… with minimal human meddling. 📰

Headlines This Week:

Amazon’s AI Workforce Shift: Andy Jassy’s latest shareholder letter teases a leaner, more AI-powered workforce. The hosts dig into what this could *really* mean (and how Amazon Fresh’s “AI stores” were actually powered by humans in a control center in India).

BBC vs. Perplexity: The BBC’s getting legal over AI scraping — accusing Perplexity of publishing full articles without permission. Is AI crossing the fair use line?

Big Tech Chessboard: Rumors swirl of Apple sniffing around Perplexity, while Elon’s XAI Grok cozies up to Microsoft *and* Oracle Cloud.

Game on. 🤖
