What happens when your cloud provider fails — and your AI stack goes with it? In this episode, David and Peter dive into the implications of the recent AWS outage that temporarily brought down Perplexity and other AI-first platforms. They explore what dependency on a single cloud provider means for AI reliability, the rise of hybrid cloud strategies, and the future of on-prem inferencing hardware from Cerebras, Groq, and AMD. From regulatory fears surrounding the No FAKES Act to OpenAI's pivot into retail and Walmart partnerships, this episode hits hard on AI’s fragile infrastructure, business risk, and ethical fault lines. Whether you’re a CTO, investor, or just curious how AI affects your daily tech — this one’s a must-watch.
