Show Notes

Anthony Vinci joins us to break down the rapidly evolving AI landscape, from China’s growing challenge and the risks of frontier models to surveillance, national security, and the race to control the technology. We also get into the massive spending behind the AI boom, whether current valuations are sustainable, and what happens if the bubble eventually bursts.
