This week, Tim and Tas circle back to a massive acquisition, where Salesforce spent billions on Intercom, yet for two years claimed they already had the same capabilities with their own "Agentforce."

 

Wait, there's more… We're also diving into the official US ban of Anthropic's Fable 5 and what Anthropic's statement is REALLY trying to say, and SpaceX buying Cursor for $60B.

 

As always, we balance out the serious with the fun with a series of terrible outreach and some funny posts in our Closed Won segment.

 

If you've got a take, drop it in the comments or send this to someone who needs it.
