131: Radioactive Servers and Hacked Chatbots: The $50 Billion AI Boom
Step into the high-stakes world of enterprise security, soaring tech valuations, and the massive energy demands of modern data centers. In this episode, we unpack the startling breach of McKinsey’s internal 'Lilli' chatbot, where an AI agent exposed millions of confidential messages in just two hours. We also explore the explosive AI coding market, from Cursor’s reported $50 billion valuation and Elon Musk's strategic talent grab for xAI, to Axiom's $200 million bet on mathematically verified code. Plus, we break down Google's major Gemini integration into Maps, Microsoft's push for "medical superintelligence" with Copilot Health, and why Big Tech is turning to nuclear power while signing a pledge to protect local communities from skyrocketing electric bills.
