The AI Breakdown: Daily Artificial Intelligence News and Discussions
First, a collection of first reactions to GPT-5. This week saw major AI shifts — from web-scraping battles to the brutal economics of AI coding startups. Cloudflare took aim at Perplexity over “stealth crawling,” Google defended AI overviews against claims they hurt web traffic, and reports revealed that coding firms like Windsurf and Replit face severe negative margins despite rapid growth. Also in the mix: Google's Jules coding agent launch, N8N's potential $2.3B valuation as the first pure-play agentic company, Microsoft's talent raids on Google DeepMind, and OpenAI's $500B secondary talks with $1.5M employee bonuses and $1 government-agency deals. Together, these stories show the fierce power struggles and harsh economics shaping AI's next era.Brought to you by:KPMG – Go to https://kpmg.com/ai to learn more about how KPMG can help you drive value with our AI solutions.Blitzy.com - Go to https://blitzy.com/ to build enterprise software in days, not months AGNTCY - The AGNTCY is an open-source collective dedicated to building the Internet of Agents, enabling AI agents to communicate and collaborate seamlessly across frameworks.

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this week's "Spicy Mode" episode of Grumpy Old Geeks proves that while things change, they mostly stay the same—just with more AI and less common sense. First up in FOLLOW UP, some poor schmoe automaker actually got a federal exemption for automated vehicles. Because what could possibly go wrong when we let robots drive?Then we dive headfirst into IN THE NEWS, a veritable dumpster fire of artificial intelligence. Illinois, bless their hearts, decided to ban AI therapists, probably because even they realized a chatbot won't fix your existential dread. But don't worry, older Americans are totally embracing these digital companions, like ElliQ, your friendly AI sidekick for "happier, healthier aging." Meanwhile, Perplexity is still allegedly scraping websites like it's 1999, and Apple's cooking up a "stripped-down" AI chatbot, probably because all their good AI talent bailed. Even Wells Fargo is deploying AI agents, so now your bank can deny you a loan with even less human empathy. And naturally, the US government is totally on board with OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic—because handing over the keys to Skynet to federal agencies sounds like a super solid plan. Oh, and of course, Grok now has a "spicy" NSFW mode, because what else would you expect? And just when you thought it couldn't get any dumber, Microsoft is "cautiously onboarding" Grok 4 after some minor Hitler concerns. Tesla, in a move that surprises absolutely no one, shut down Dojo, their AI training supercomputer. If you're still using ChatGPT for your deepest, darkest secrets, be warned: a single poisoned document could leak all your data. Even the Swedish Prime Minister is apparently relying on ChatGPT for decision-making. In other news that doesn't involve robots taking over, Amazon split up Wondery and laid off a bunch of folks, and Microsoft's Windows XP Crocs are an actual thing. Yes, really.For MEDIA CANDY, prepare for a dose of nostalgia and existential dread. We're talking Rogue One, Nate Bargatze's stand-up specials (because sometimes you just need to laugh), Portlandia, Craig Ferguson, and the OG AI movie, Colossus: The Forbin Project. Netflix keeps canceling everything we love, including Fubar, but hey, The Sandman Season 2 and Wednesday are still here. And just to prove that Hollywood is still stuck in the past, Universal Pictures is threatening to sue Big Tech for stealing their movies for AI. Over in APPS & DOODADS, Google's smart home ecosystem is apparently crumbling, because who needs a cohesive system when you can have a dozen disconnected devices? But hey, OpenAI released a free GPT model you can run on your laptop, so now you can build your own personal AI overlord right at home. And finally, THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE brings us Gravity Falls books and a new Star Wars movie with Matt Smith and Ryan Gosling. Oh, and Weird Science is on Netflix, because sometimes you just need to relive the 80s and pretend AI hasn't completely taken over. So grab your flannel, cue up some Oingo Boingo, and enjoy the show, you analog dinosaurs.Sponsors:Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

The nature of Security Operations is changing. As cloud environments grow in complexity and data volumes explode, traditional approaches to detection and response are proving insufficient. This episode features an in-depth conversation with Kyle Polley, who leads the AI security team at Perplexity, about a modern blueprint for the Security Operations Center (SOC).The discussion centers on a necessary architectural shift away from traditional SIEMs, which were not built for today's scale, toward a "data lake infrastructure built for detection and response". Kyle explains how this model provides the scalability needed to handle modern data loads and enables a more effective incident response process.A cornerstone of this new model is the use of centralized AI agents. The conversation explores how these agents can be tasked with performing in-depth alert investigations, helping to reduce analyst burnout and allowing security teams to focus on more proactive, high-impact work. This approach moves beyond simple automation to create a system where AI augments and enhances the capabilities of the human team.Guest Socials - Kyle's Linkedin Podcast Twitter - @CloudSecPod If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube- Cloud Security Newsletter - Cloud Security BootCampIf you are interested in AI Cybersecurity, you can check out our sister podcast - AI Cybersecurity PodcastQuestions asked:(00:00) Introduction to Kyle Polley & The Future of SOCs(01:03) The Core Argument: Why You Must Build Your SOC Before Compliance(03:34) Beyond the Certificate: The Difference Between Being Compliant vs. Secure(04:20) Today's #1 AI Threat: The Challenge of Prompt Injection(06:00) The Architectural Flaw: Handling Untrusted Data in AI Systems(08:20) The "Security Data Lake": Moving Beyond the Traditional SIEM(15:00) The Future is Now: A Centralized AI Agent for Automated Investigations(20:06) Will AI Take My Job?

How Long Does It Take to Rank SEO Webpages on Google & AI? with SEO Expert, Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MSThe We Don't PLAY podcast host discusses how long it takes for SEO web pages to rank on Google and AI search engines, emphasizing that there's no single answer, ranging from days to months or even years depending on website history and consistent updates. I highlight the importance of submitting websites to Google Search Console, understanding domain and hosting, and strategically creating content that answers questions. They differentiate between Google's organic impressions and AI's "earned SEO"or earned impressions, underscoring that being visible on Google is a prerequisite for AI search visibility. The discussion also touches on content velocity, the value of a consistent online presence, and how to use tools and strategies to improve search engine optimization for both traditional and AI-driven searches.FAQs about this episode1. How long does it typically take for a new webpage to rank on Google and AI search engines?For a brand new website or webpage, it generally takes around 3 to 6 months to start ranking significantly on Google and AI search engines. For an existing website or webpage, it can take days to weeks to significantly show up on Google and AI search engines. However, the speaker highlights a case where an article ranked in just two days. This rapid ranking is attributed to the website's existing credibility, similar to having a good credit score with a bank. Google and AI prioritize established entities. For entirely new content, especially if it's the first time a link has surfaced on the internet, it can even rank within 24 hours. The key takeaway is that it's a marathon, not a sprint, and consistent effort is crucial for long-term gains.2. What are the foundational steps to ensure a website can even appear on Google and AI search results?Before any SEO efforts can be effective, your website needs to be visible to search engines. The first crucial step is to have a website that Google can "see." This involves submitting your website to Google Search Console, which acts as Google's internet service provider for your site. Without this submission, your website isn't connected to Google's internet, making it invisible to their indexing systems. Think of it like a book not being in a library's inventory; it can't be found. Additionally, your website needs proper hosting (e.g., WordPress, Hostinger, GoDaddy), as a domain alone isn't enough to make it a functional, searchable website.3. How do traditional SEO and AI search results differ, and what does "earned SEO" mean in this context?The speaker distinguishes between traditional SEO and AI searches by introducing the concept of "earned SEO." Traditional SEO focuses on organic impressions, where your content naturally ranks based on relevance and quality. AI searches, on the other hand, are described as "earned impressions." This means that AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Grok look for the top results already showing up on Google. Therefore, if your website isn't ranking organically on Google in the first place, it's impossible for it to show up in AI search results. "Earned SEO" suggests that your presence and visibility on AI platforms are a consequence of having already "earned" strong organic rankings on traditional search engines. AI searches also have a shorter, often 24-hour, countdown timer for relevance, emphasizing rapid content updates and a broad presence across different platforms.4. Why is consistent content updating and strategy crucial for long-term SEO success?SEO is not a one-time fix; it requires continuous effort. Google (and now AI) periodically "deletes" or de-prioritizes old, irrelevant content from its servers if it's not updated. The concept of "tokenization" refers to the duplicate copy of your webpage that Google remembers, and if this isn't refreshed, your content will lose visibility. Therefore, consistently updating existing articles (even minor edits) and publishing new content with a clear strategy and plan are vital. This continuous effort creates a "spiderweb" of interconnected content, signaling to search engines that your website is active, relevant, and authoritative.5. What role does "content velocity" play in effective marketing and SEO?Content velocity refers to how quickly you can create and distribute relevant content across various platforms. Beyond just quality (answering questions and providing value), the speed at which you produce and share content significantly impacts your reach and ranking potential. Distributing content on platforms like Facebook, Pinterest, Clubhouse, LinkedIn, and various podcast directories (Apple Podcast, Spotify, Amazon Music) creates numerous backlinks and brand mentions. This widespread presence, coupled with consistent new content, signals authority and relevance to search engines, leading to increased visibility and better ranking opportunities over time.6. How can businesses leverage diverse online platforms to enhance their search engine visibility?Businesses should aim for a multi-platform strategy to maximize their visibility. This includes having a robust website, a consistent podcast presence across various directories (Apple, Spotify, Amazon), an active social media presence (Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok), and engaging email marketing. Each of these platforms, when properly optimized with relevant content and clear calls to action (like linking back to your website), contributes to a stronger online footprint. For example, a podcast episode appearing on 10 different directories means 10 backlinks to your website, significantly boosting its authority and discoverability. The more widely your brand is mentioned and linked, the more search engines trust and prioritize your content.7. What are "commercial blogs" and why are they becoming increasingly important in the age of AI-powered search?Commercial blogs are informational content designed to answer specific user queries that have a commercial intent, even if indirectly. The speaker emphasizes that while general informational questions like "What time is it?" are common, the trend is moving towards more specific queries, often posed to AI assistants or search engines, that imply a need for a product or service ("What are the best shoes to get in this store?"). If your business isn't creating content that directly or indirectly answers these commercially oriented questions, you risk being "off the radar." The goal is to create content that not only provides value but also subtly guides users towards your offerings, making your website a source for solutions that lead to conversions.8. What does "your voice is your invoice" mean in the context of online presence and business growth?"Your voice is your invoice" encapsulates the idea that actively putting out your expertise and value in the online sphere directly leads to financial reward. This "voice" isn't just speaking aloud; it includes all forms of content creation: social media posts, website content, emails, and participation in online discussions (like speaking on Clubhouse stages). By consistently providing value and answering questions through your content, you gain recognition, establish authority, and attract your ideal audience. The more you "speak up" and share your knowledge, the more you get "paid" in terms of leads, clients, and revenue. It also serves to repel those who are not a good fit, allowing you to focus your efforts on genuine opportunities.Digital Marketing Resources:>> Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community>> SEO Optimization Blogs>> Book Complimentary SEO Discovery Call>> Subscribe to We Don't PLAY PodcastBrands We Love and SupportLoving Me Beauty | Buy Vegan-based Luxury ProductsUnlock your future in real estate—get certified in Ghana today!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Artificial intelligence agents are significantly transforming the landscape of software-as-a-service (SaaS) pricing, moving away from traditional per-seat licenses towards usage and outcome-based models. Gartner predicts that by 2030, 40% of enterprise spending on software will shift to these new pricing structures, prompting businesses to reassess how they perceive value in digital operations. As AI features become more prevalent in enterprise software, organizations must navigate potential risks such as data silos and vendor lock-in, emphasizing the need for transparent pricing and governance strategies.The podcast discusses the growing concerns surrounding AI's impact on the workforce, with a survey revealing that 61% of white-collar workers fear job displacement within three years. Despite these fears, many workers report that AI has enhanced their creativity and productivity, suggesting that AI should be viewed as a tool for augmentation rather than replacement. This perspective can facilitate smoother adoption of AI technologies, positioning service providers as trusted change managers.In the realm of security, Microsoft faces scrutiny over a critical vulnerability in its new NLWeb protocol, which could allow unauthorized access to sensitive files. Meanwhile, Cloudflare has accused the AI startup Perplexity of violating no-crawl directives by stealthily scraping content from websites, raising concerns about unauthorized data access. Additionally, Anthropic's research highlights how AI personalities can be influenced by training data, underscoring the importance of data governance in AI development.The episode also touches on Delta Airlines' clarification regarding its AI-assisted dynamic pricing model, which aims to use aggregated data rather than individual customer information. In the fashion industry, the use of AI-generated models has sparked debate over authenticity and representation, as brands seek cost-effective solutions for content creation. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the need for service providers to balance AI's cost-saving potential with the importance of maintaining trust and authenticity in consumer-facing applications.Four things to know today 00:00 AI Agents Drive SaaS Pricing Shift, Raise Vendor Lock-In Concerns, and Reshape Worker Attitudes04:45 OpenAI Releases First Open-Weight Models in Six Years as AI Security and Ethics Face Fresh Challenges09:50 Delta Defends AI Pricing as Non-Personalized, While Fashion Faces Backlash Over AI-Generated Models12:47 Microsoft Ends Windows 11 SE, Debuts Edge AI Copilot, as SentinelOne Expands into Generative AI Security Supported by: https://scalepad.com/dave/https://getflexpoint.com/msp-radio/ Tell us about a newsletter! https://bit.ly/biztechnewsletter/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Google First, AI Second: The Smart Agent Strategy Your prospects aren't abandoning Google - they're using it PLUS asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude for deeper research. Here's the reality: Google still processes 373 times more searches than ChatGPT. But the 1% of prospects using AI answer engines? They're your highest-intent leads spending 23+ minutes researching before they ever call an agent. Most real estate professionals are asking the wrong question. Instead of "Should I optimize for AI or Google?" the question is "How do I dominate both?" Maurice White, SEO lead at Mod Op and former real estate professional, reveals why your SEO foundation determines your AI visibility. You'll discover why 80% of getting found by ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity depends on fundamental SEO - and what that crucial 20% difference is that separates agents who get cited from those who remain invisible. This isn't about replacing your Google strategy. It's about extending your reach to capture the early adopters who are doing deeper research and making more informed decisions before they contact agents. If you serve local clients - real estate, HVAC, restaurants, professional services - this matters now, not later. About Maurice White: Maurice White is a Senior SEO Strategist at Mod Op with a unique background that bridges real estate and digital marketing. After spending over 10 years in the real estate industry as a broker's assistant, agent, and licensed broker, Maurice transitioned to leading SEO strategy for one of the industry's top agencies. His hands-on real estate experience, combined with his technical expertise in data analysis and SEO strategy, gives him rare insight into how local businesses can leverage both traditional search optimization and emerging AI engine visibility. Maurice specializes in helping companies organize complex digital strategies, make data-driven decisions, and implement scalable SEO solutions. BONUS ACTION LIST: Here's the action list for this episode based on Maurice's insights: Immediate Actions (This Week) Test Your Current AI Visibility: Go to ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity and ask questions about your market that you should be the expert on Search: "Who are the most knowledgeable agents in [your area]?" Ask: "What's the market like in [your specific neighborhoods]?" Note if your name or business appears in the answers Audit Your Current Content: Review your last 20 social media posts Count how many mention your specific market by name Identify which posts could be used by any agent in any city Calculate what you're actually paying per valuable, market-specific post Foundation Check: Verify your Google Business Profile is complete and optimized Ensure your service areas are properly defined Check that your website has basic contact information and location details Review if your site loads quickly on mobile This Month Actions SEO Foundation Audit: Conduct a technical SEO audit of your website (or hire someone to do it) Review your site's information architecture and navigation to ensure a logical progression to the next step, which should lead to a conversation. Verify that schema markup is in place with all of your content. ASK the hosting company or developer. They may not know. Assess your heading structure (H1, H2, H3 tags) Content Strategy Development: Create 5 pieces of content that answer specific questions about your market areas Create a summary for key landing pages from your top-level navigation, ideally accompanied by a short video featuring you. Add FAQ sections to key pages on your website - these become part of your content bank. Write market-specific summaries for each neighborhood you serve - and revisit/edit a couple of times a year. Include current data, statistics, and local insights in your content as stand-out boxes with H1, H2, H3 tags. Then, create regular market update blog posts.

Last week, we talked about side gigs—smart ways to earn extra income outside your day job. One of the options we touched on was affiliate marketing, a tried-and-true method still relevant today. But here's another strategy I've personally dabbled in: building websites designed to generate leads. These sites are created with specific search terms in mind—mine were focused on cosmetic surgery—but the model can be applied to nearly any industry. Once your site is ranking on Google and generating traffic, you rent out that digital space to businesses who want the leads. I had a friend who made millions using this model with smartlipo.com back in the day. It was like owning valuable digital real estate. But that was then. The landscape has shifted. With the rise of tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity, fewer people are relying on traditional search engines. So the question is: Is this still a viable side hustle in 2025? And if it is, how does it work now—and how can you get started? That's exactly what we're diving into on this week's Wealth Formula Podcast.

On this episode of Unsupervised Learning, in the wake of Elon Musk's xAI Grok chatbot turning anti-Semitic following a recent update, Razib catches up with Nikolai Yakovenko about the state of AI in the summer of 2025. Nearly three years after their first conversations on the topic, the catch up, covering ChatGPT's release and the anticipation of massive macroeconomic transformations driven by automation of knowledge-work. Yakovenko is a former professional poker player and research scientist at Google, Twitter (now X) and Nvidia (now the first $4 trillion company). With more than a decade on the leading edge computer science, Yakovenko has been at the forefront of the large-language-model revolution that was a necessary precursor to the rise of companies like OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity, as well as hundreds of smaller startups. Currently, he is the CEO of DeepNewz, an AI-driven news startup that leverages the latest models to retrieve the ground-truth on news-stories. Disclosure: Razib actively uses and recommends the service and is an advisor to the company. Razib and Yakovenko first tackle why Mark Zuckerberg's Meta is offering individual pay packages north of $200 million, poaching some of OpenAI's top individual contributors. Yakovenko observes that it seems Meta is giving up on its open-source Llama project, their competitor to the models that underpin OpenAI and ChatGPT (he also comments that it seems that engineers at xAI are disappointed in the latest version of Grok). Overall, though the pay-packages of AI engineers and researchers are high; there is now a big shakeout as massive companies with the money and engineering researchers pull away from their competitors. Additionally, in terms of cutting-edge models, the US and China are the only two international players (Yakovenko notes parenthetically that Chinese engineers are also the primary labor base of American AI firms). They also discuss how it is notable that almost three years after the beginning of the current booming repeated hype-cycles of artificial intelligence began to crest, we are still no closer to “artificial general intelligence” and the “intelligence super-explosion” that Ray Kurzweil has been predicting for generations. AI is partially behind the rise of companies like Waymo that are on the verge of transforming the economy, but overall, even though AI is still casting around for its killer app, big-tech has fully bought in and believes that the next decade will determine who wins the future.
