Join me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), and Elizabeth Knopf (https://x.com/leveragedupside) for this week's AI updates! This week, the AI world is buzzing, even in what some consider a "slow" period!
We dive into the incredible pace of AI development, where giants like Anthropic, Google, Proplexity Labs, and Manus are in a relentless race for feature parity. We discuss the controversial predictions from Anthropic's founder about AI eliminating entry-level white-collar jobs and how that contrasts with Sundar's views on management positions.
Elizabeth and I explore whether calls for government intervention in AI might actually be a strategic move for regulatory capture. Plus, I share my personal journey setting up Claude as my AI personal assistant, integrating my email and calendar, and leveraging contextual documents for productivity.
