Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hey, what's going on, everybody?
Chapter 2: What is the latest on the Anthropic and Pentagon AI deal?
Welcome to the Daily AI Show. Today is March 5th, 2025. Appreciate y'all being here. Hey, everybody in the comments. Hey, Jude, everybody else. So today, yeah, first of all, first and foremost, Andy's back after having a 10-day amazing trip outside and back on the show.
Chapter 3: How does Seed Dance's AI video pricing impact production workflows?
So we're always happy to see you, Andy. Welcome back. Beth and I am here, but Beth and I have been here for most days over the last week or so. You get more of us, and I think maybe Carl is going to pop in as well. So, yeah, we were just talking before we went live that, you know, there's been certain news in the AI that has been, like, front of house sort of, and it's taken up a lot of time.
We've discussed a lot on the show. So if you've been listening to us over the last week or so, for those that are daily listeners, we've definitely been talking about things like the Anthropic and Pentagon and OpenAI. And the reality is there is new news on it today. But we were just kind of saying before the show, we're going to kind of just touch on it really quick.
Chapter 4: What are the implications of Alibaba's Qwen small model releases?
And then we'll move on to all sorts of other, you know, fun AI news as well, because it is relevant. I do think we need to, you know, bring it up. But, you know, it can often because it's such an interesting topic, it can often take up the first 20 minutes of the show. So with that in mind, I will do this really quick. But y'all feel free to add into this if you think anything else.
But basically the headline, and I can't even read the article because it's gated, which is totally fine.
Chapter 5: What new features does Perplexity Computer offer with its updates?
But Anthropic renews Pentagon AI deal talks to avoid being labeled as supply chain risk. Yeah, they... You know, simmer down. Everybody, everybody go from DepCon. What is it? One or five is highest. I always forget which way it goes. But from the highest one, let's bring it back down a little bit. And, you know, hopefully they get that, you know, resolved.
And, you know, in a week's time, we're going to see some some message from our administration talking about how much they actually do love Anthropic. We'll see. We'll see where all that goes. But that's sort of the news there.
Chapter 6: How does the Anything API work for web automation?
The other part of that news that's sort of in line with it is that there was a leaked internal memo from Dario, the CEO of Anthropic. Apparently, I didn't read the memo, so it was just like hearsay and what the rundown and other AI newsletters were talking about. But pretty scathing in terms of if it is in fact real, how...
Chapter 7: What is the significance of the 'God's eye view' project?
what he felt about Sam and, uh, all men that is already open AI, how he felt. Uh, I believe that the paraphrasing was, um, 80% of it was fluff. Maybe 24% of it was real in terms of like the contract with Pentagon and blah, blah, blah. So that continues to happen. We remember like maybe a week ago, they wouldn't hold hands, you know, like they wouldn't wherever that was, that was at the,
Davos or wherever that was, they were together. So there's, look, Dario and his sister, Danielle, both came out of OpenAI years ago. Both had significant jobs there. We don't talk about Danielle enough, honestly, because, I mean, of what she is responsible for Anthropic as well as what she did at OpenAI in terms of safety.
So they were there for several years, obviously left to go start Anthropic as well as a couple other people left at that time. This is several years back. So you look, there's probably bad blood there.
Chapter 8: How are bio-cyborg insects being utilized in military operations?
We see this in a lot of industries. I don't think this is anything necessarily new, but that is what's going on. And also, unless you guys know better than me or you see it, I think the informant was one that was saying,
that this this leaked memo was true but just in the sense of i didn't read it and i haven't seen any double or triple confirms of that i don't know if you all have but i do think we should just keep this as allegedly because i don't i'm not sure at least from my side i'm not sure So that's the touch on that. Andy, Beth, anything to add to this before we move on?
Just that it's the information, which is a very high level, high paid subscription to an intelligence gathering and commentary. And I think it has a very high reputation for credibility. And they've seen the memo. Now they're not publishing it. And Beth, I think you have a subscription to the information or something. No, I do not, but maybe we will at some point as a show.
It was also retweeted by Paul Reitzer, referencing the Wired story of Greg Brackman's contributions to Trump's something. I don't know what the contributions are. $25 million, not a small number by any means. Right. No, to the tune of 500 million, I think. Oh, that's not 25. Yeah, well, that's no either. Whatever. Really big. That may be over a lifetime. I don't know.
But Paul's retweet is these two stories are related. The Dario memo and that. And again, Paul is a former journalist. He also doesn't retweet things that he does not believe are factually correct. Yeah. Yeah, let me just clarify what Brian said, which is this 80-20 comment that's reported from this memo, an internal memo at Anthropic, by the information.
It is that Dario basically said that the safety propaganda from... open ai sam altman about how they've protected us in their deal is 20 true and 80 propagandistic right it's like it's been massaged in such a way that it sounds like they've got lots of safety protections but they don't yeah um Okay. Anything else on this before we move on? You guys good? Okay. Yeah. So good.
Look, six minutes in. You can move on to other stuff. It's important. I'm sure it's going to come up tomorrow's show. It's probably going to come up on Monday's show because it is an ever-evolving story, and I think it's important. Obviously, we don't mean to minimize it by any means, but we also know you guys come to hear about all sorts of different AI news.
This just happens to be the big one over the last seven days or so. Yeah, Beth. You're on mute. I'm on mute. I'll say you're right on 25 million as something I can verify. So ignore the 500 that may be over lifetime that I can't. You know, and here's the thing. You said 500 and that seemed to make just as much sense to me. Again, in the world of AI, I'm like, we're only five or 500 million.
Like, what's the difference? You know, like, sure. Any of those numbers sound right coming out of some of these. So it's like I've been so desensitized to the size of some of these different statements and stuff. What is this from? This is Cisco fact checking us as well. Gotcha, perfect.
