Description

The AI hype machine is cooling off, fewer shiny new toys, more serious contenders. In this episode, hostess with the mostest (of something) Emily Laird breaks down the latest a16z rankings, why the product flood slowed down, and how Google’s been quietly building an AI empire under everyone’s nose. Gemini’s rising, Grok’s flirting in anime, and Meta’s assistant accidentally aired its dirty laundry. We’re talking metrics, mobile surges, and the slow death of sketchy chatbot apps. Think of it as AI market analysis with a side of sarcasm and, as always, zero buzzwords.
