This week wasn’t just another wave of AI announcements.It may have been the week the industry quietly crossed into a different phase entirely.In this episode, Isar connects the dots behind one of the biggest weeks in AI so far—from Anthropic’s explosive growth, to Google I/O, OpenAI’s legal win, NVIDIA’s record earnings, and Andrej Karpathy joining Anthropic to work on recursive self-improvement.Individually, each story matters.Together, they point to something bigger: accelerating AI capability, accelerating infrastructure buildout, and growing signals from the people closest to the frontier that we may be entering a very different era.The quote that framed the episode came from Demis Hassabis: “We were standing at the foothills of the singularity. It will be a profound moment for humanity.”This episode breaks down what that actually means—and why the implications go far beyond new models and product launches.In this session, you’ll discover: - Why Anthropic’s projected $44B annualized revenue shocked the industry - How Anthropic became more profitable per user than OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft - Why Andrej Karpathy joining Anthropic may be one of the year’s biggest AI stories - What recursive self-improvement (RSI) means—and why labs are racing toward it - How OpenAI’s legal win against Elon Musk clears the runway for a potential IPO - Why Google’s AI strategy suddenly looks both confusing and incredibly ambitious - What Google’s shift from “search” to autonomous AI agents means for websites and SEO - Why AI solving an 80-year-old math problem matters more than most people realize - How NVIDIA, SpaceX, and compute infrastructure are becoming central to the AI race - Why electricity—not chips—may become the biggest bottleneck in AI expansion - What Demis Hassabis means when he says we’re at the “foothills of the singularity”About Leveraging AIThe Ultimate AI Course for Business People: https://multiplai.ai/ai-course/YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Multiplai_AI/Connect with Isar Meitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isarmeitis/ Join our Live Sessions, AI Hangouts and newsletter: https://services.multiplai.ai/eventsIf you’ve enjoyed or benefited from some of the insights of this episode, leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, and let us know what you learned, found helpful, or liked most about this show!
