Google Pushes OpenAI, Bezos Returns, AI’s No. 1 Hit

Google's latest model has OpenAI concerned it's losing its edge. Jeff Bezos is back in the AI startup game. May I meet you, says Bill Ackman, and has AI music passed the uncanny valley? We'll cover it all on a Big Technology Podcast Friday edition right after this. Welcome to Big Technology Podcast Friday edition, where we break down the news in our traditional cool-headed and nuanced format.

We have a great show for you today because we are going to cover how Google has come and effectively equaled OpenAI's technology, causing Sam Altman to write a memo saying the vibes might be bad for a while. We will also touch on Jeff Bezos entering the AI startup game. We'll talk about Bill Ackman's pickup line, and then we'll also cover this unbelievable AI song or some a song that people have started to hate and what that means for creativity. Joining us as always on Fridays to do this is Ron John Roy of Margins, who's here with us in studio today.

Ron John, great to see you. There's no rough vibes here. I'm in the financial district, face to face with Alex today, so I'm excited. We are here. When the AI bubble crashes, this is gonna be uh the place where it all goes down.
