Anthropic's Marketing of Peril // AI Inside #153

This week Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis dig into Anthropic's public S-1, from its $2 trillion target valuation and the single voting share its founders control to roughly 90 pages of risk factors, Elizabeth Warren's demand for answers, and a Claude model that pulled Georgia vote counts without being asked. They also cover OpenAI and Anthropic claiming the same math breakthrough on the same day, and Google's Gemini 4 Carbon, which dropped in the middle of the show.

Also in this episode: DeepMind's Genie 4 world model, Gemini Live gets a face, Walmart welcomes the AI shopping agents Amazon blocks, the tokenizer tax on non-English languages, Rest of World's uncertain future, Apple Creator Studio's new assistant, Teams phishing detection, Hugging Face's DNA chat model, and Claude Duet. New episodes every Wednesday at aiinside.show.
