109: The SaaSpocalypse has arrived!

from Fraiday Labs Hosted by Pete Larkin

Is AI actually making your job harder? In this episode, we break down a new Harvard study suggesting that instead of lightening the load, enterprise AI tools are intensifying the workday and expanding employee responsibilities. We then shift focus to the latest technical breakthroughs, including ByteDance's Seedance 2.0—a video generation model that is turning heads with its cinematic consistency—and Waymo's use of DeepMind’s Genie 3 to simulate "world models" for training self-driving cars. Finally, we discuss the business side of the industry, from OpenAI officially testing ads in ChatGPT to the looming "SaaSpocalypse," where AI agents may begin dismantling traditional software licensing models.
