Anthropic’s $350B Valuation & The AI Safety Pivot Nobody Saw Coming

In this episode, we're diving into one of the wildest weeks in AI. Anthropic just hit a staggering $350 billion valuation, but here's the twist—they're quietly backing away from their safety commitments. We'll break down what this means for the industry and why even the "safety-first" company is changing its tune. Plus: Meta and AMD's massive infrastructure deal, the departure shaking up Amazon's AGI lab, new AI agent deployment tools that work in 60 seconds, and why developers are literally refusing to work without AI anymore. We're also exploring whether AI agents are actually "thinking" or just really good at searching—spoiler alert, the answer might surprise you. Join me as we connect the dots between billion-dollar deals, shifting safety priorities, and what it all means for those of us building, using, and yes, sometimes worrying about AI's future.
