Ep 511: The Mad Dash To Cash in On AI. Is AI overhyped AND underhyped?

AI is both overhyped and underestimated. Yeah, read that again shorties. 

Everyone’s screaming about AI like it’s magic. Spoiler: It’s not.

But here’s the twist—what’s coming is way bigger than y'all are ready for.

Gary Rivlin’s been here before. He covered the dotcom frenzy in the ‘90s, and now he’s seeing history repeat itself. 

The PR fluff? Thick. The stakes? Higher.

He’s calling out the BS, breaking down what actually matters, and showing why the smartest people are using AI to amplify—not replace—human smarts.

Miss this, and you’ll miss the trillion-dollar wave.
