Today's episode reveals shocking data on how millions are turning to AI for emotional support, with 10% using chatbots weekly for companionship. We uncover how AI-generated misinformation flooded social media within hours of a terror attack in Australia, preview Amazon's reported $10+ billion investment that could value OpenAI at over $500 billion, and expose the growing power imbalance as Silicon Valley CEOs court government officials while AI-generated music dominates streaming charts.
