The Era of AI-Made Everything (501)

After celebrating 500 weeks of podcasting, Joe and Robert are back to regular programming. And this week… things get weird.

OpenAI and Meta both dropped major updates to their AI apps—releases that could either spark the next great social network or bring about the end of the internet as we know it. The guys break down what these announcements mean for creators, advertisers, and the future of “artificial content.”

In other news, Anthropic settles a $1.5 billion lawsuit that could mean payouts for authors everywhere (and a big precedent for copyright in AI).

Plus, Call Her Daddy’s Alex Cooper launches a new marketing agency that might just be the new business model for content entrepreneurs.

And YouTube rolls out auto dubbing for creators and marketers. Joe and Robert debate whether that’s a blessing or a curse.

This week’s winner: CMI’s new B2B Research Report.
This week’s loser: China’s growing propaganda machine.

Rants and Raves: A look at ABBA Voyage and MrBeast, two very different but equally fascinating examples of what happens when creativity, technology, and obsession collide.

Did you know that most businesses only use 20% of their data? That's like reading a book with most of the pages torn out. Point is, you miss a lot.

Unless you use HubSpot.
