This week, we're back with the latest AI news from last week, and the big headline is Apple reportedly eyeing a deal to acquire Perplexity. Meta already tried (and failed), so now Mark Zuckerberg is on a new mission: to lure every AI expert out there with fat paychecks.
We also share updates on our own product journey, including tools we're testing to improve our video content and AI-powered translations.
If you enjoy the episode, drop us a comment or share it with a friend. We’d love to build this together with you!
