Who Does Your AI Actually Work For?

AI agents promise to save you time, money, and effort. But what if the technology shopping on your behalf isn't actually working in your best interest?

They discuss: • Why Apple's Mac mini is becoming an unexpected alternative to traditional GPU infrastructure, and why Malcolm is watching the stock. • The Financial Times report putting OpenAI's annualized revenue closer to $50 billion than $70 billion. • Oracle's growing dependence on OpenAI and the financial risks behind its massive AI commitments. • Paramount's $52 billion financing package for Warner Bros. and what it could mean for Hollywood's biggest bets. • New research suggesting AI shopping agents may recommend more expensive options to higher-income users, even when asked to find the cheapest deal. • Why giving AI agents access to your credit card, inbox, and personal information raises serious questions about privacy and security. • And more Want to contact us?
