Apple CEO Tim Cook is officially stepping down on September 1st, and John Tarnas is gonna become the CEO. This is really interesting. There's a lot of AI things at play for Apple, and, you know, they really haven't delivered on their AI promise. We're gonna be getting into that. Vercel, the company that I personally use for being my web host for all of my AI tools, has had a major security incident because of an AI tool that one of their employees was using. And the FTC just dropped a settlement with Clarifai over the company using three million OkCupid photos to train facial recognition. Snapchat laid off around 1,000 people and said that is part of their AI initiative because AI is writing more than 65% of their new code. They dropped a major new l- image model over at OpenAI called Image 2.0 that is a huge step up. I've been playing with it today. We'll talk about that. And in addition, Anthropic's Mythos model has, of course, getting-- is starting to get a bad rep, and Sam Altman is going and calling them out for their fear-based marketing. They also signed a huge enterprise deal at Novo Nordisk, the Ozempic company we'll be talking about. And I think one of the biggest stories is that Amazon is pouring over $25 billion into Anthropic on top of the $100 billion that the AWS team has already committed. Now, if you're still paying for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, any of the audio models, ElevenLabs for audio, and any of the image models, I've got to tell you about AI Box. This is what I personally have built.
