This week’s AI news is unreal. Meta ordered to pay $25 BILLION in New Mexico’s privacy case. Anthropic backs an AI safety bill that only triggers government intervention at 50 deaths. OpenAI’s top models turned off their own safety monitors — and one lied about it. Plus Anthropic reveals a $16.8B quarter ahead of a ~$2 trillion IPO, and OpenAI goes quiet on China chip controls in a big win for Nvidia right before the midterms.
Then, what if an AI had millions of human eyes and hands on the ground? Special guest Ashton Slatev, VP of Product at Rwazi, joins us all the way in from Washington, D.C. to break down Sena — Rwazi’s AI connected to a global network of millions of real people capturing consensual, real-time photo and video data. We get into how retailers and manufacturers use it for shelf-level computer vision, brand perception tracking, and sourcing niche training data at scale. Plus we ask what are some of the most absurd images ever submitted to the platform.
