They then look at new data suggesting AI usage continues to climb while overall enterprise spend flattens, driven by price cuts and tighter procurement scrutiny, a key backdrop as Anthropic reportedly nears an IPO. The episode also tracks rising resistance to AI infrastructure, from US local ballot measures restricting data centre development to protests at a Microsoft construction site in Amsterdam. Finally, they cover a Delhi High Court order to remove allegedly defamatory AI-generated political content, plus quick hits on Alexa shopping by text, AI validation for USDA crop reports, reported espionage targeting Nvidia, Meta’s Muse “spaces”, and a lawsuit alleging harmful ChatGPT guidance.","author_name":"Six & Flow"}
