We talk about what's happening in Data & AI every week (well, most weeks). No buzzword bingo or marketing fluff—just honest conversations about the tech that's changing everything. Sometimes we go off on weird tangents about programming languages, tech/startup life, or whatever shiny object caught our attention. Whether you're knee-deep in code or just curious about AI, come hang out with us!

    OpenAI Goes For-Profit, AOL Gets Bought, AI Marketing (Slop?), and Job Shocks

    (01:50) - Create on-brand marketing content for your business with Pomelli (09:18) - OpenAI’s Less-Flashy Rival Might Have a Better Business Model (17:47) - Microsoft, OpenAI reach deal removing fundraising constraints for ChatGPT maker (25:56) - AOL to be sold to Bending Spoons for roughly $1.5B (36:40) - Accountable Acceleration: Gen AI Fast-Tracks Into the Enterprise (44:53) - I analyzed 180M jobs to see what jobs AI is actually replacing today Create on-brand marketing content for your business with Pomelli | 2025-10-28Google Labs and DeepMind launched Pomelli, an AI tool that builds a “Business DNA” from a company’s website to auto-generate on-brand social campaigns. It’s rolling out as a public beta in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand—promising speed, but raising questions about originality and disclosure. https://blog.google/technology/google-labs/pomelli/OpenAI’s Less-Flashy Rival Might Have a Better Business Model | 2025-10-26WSJ argues Anthropic’s enterprise-first focus is paying off as corporate customers drive the bulk of its revenue and adoption. A reported multibillion run-rate and strong coding share sharpen the contrast with OpenAI’s mass-market push, setting up a strategic showdown over who monetizes AI best. https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/anthropic-business-model-ai-9e26b4ef Microsoft, OpenAI reach deal removing fundraising constraints for ChatGPT maker | 2025-10-28OpenAI is restructuring into a public benefit corporation with Microsoft retaining a 27% stake, clearing the way for bigger capital raises and potential IPO plans. The pact resets rights and revenue-sharing through 2032, signaling massive data-center ambitions—and tighter alignment—amid escalating AI costs. https://www.reuters.com/business/microsoft-openai-reach-new-deal-allow-openai-restructure-2025-10-28/ AOL to be sold to Bending Spoons for roughly $1.5B | 2025-10-29AOL is changing hands again, with Bending Spoons agreeing to buy it for about $1.5 billion as the Italian firm keeps scooping up legacy internet properties. The deal comes with $2.8 billion in new debt financing and claims of ~30 million monthly active users—big numbers for a storied brand. https://www.axios.com/2025/10/29/aol-bending-spoons-deal Accountable Acceleration: Gen AI Fast-Tracks Into the Enterprise | n.d.Wharton’s latest adoption study says generative AI has moved from pilots to measured ROI, with usage now weekly for most leaders and daily for many. Standout stats—like 72% tracking ROI and three-quarters seeing positive returns—set the stage for 2026’s push from experimentation to performance at scale. https://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/special-report/2025-ai-adoption-report/ I analyzed 180M jobs to see what jobs AI is actually replacing today | 2025-11-03A massive scrape of job postings finds steep drops in creative execution roles like computer graphic artists and writers, while machine-learning engineers surged 40% year over year. Watchlist: medical scribes fell 20%, hinting at AI note-taking tools biting into entry-level healthcare admin work. https://bloomberry.com/blog/i-analyzed-180m-jobs-to-see-what-jobs-ai-is-actually-replacing-today/ Sign up for our newsletter at newsletter.monkeypatching.io ❤️

    AI Browser Wars, TPU Megadeals & Agents Unleashed

    (01:59) - dbt Labs + Fivetran: Open data infrastructure for analytics and AI (10:35) - Introducing ChatGPT Atlas (10:40) - Microsoft Edge’s new Copilot Mode turns on more AI features (21:47) - Anthropic to use Google’s AI chips worth tens of billions to train Claude chatbot (32:34) - Living dangerously with Claude (51:09) - Agent2Agent (A2A) Protocol (59:44) - Announcing Cloudflare Email Service’s private beta (01:04:44) - Meet the real screen addicts: the elderly Thanks for listening ❤️Sign up for our newsletter at newsletter.monkeypatching.io 🍌dbt Labs + Fivetran: Open data infrastructure for analytics and AI | 2025-10-13 dbt Labs is merging with Fivetran to create a unified, open data foundation spanning ingestion to transformation—positioning the pair to simplify enterprise analytics and AI pipelines. Together they claim roughly $600 million in ARR and well over 10,000 customers, with both product names staying put to avoid disruption. https://www.getdbt.com/blog/dbt-labs-and-fivetran-merge-announcement Introducing ChatGPT Atlas | 2025-10-21 OpenAI launched ChatGPT Atlas, a macOS browser with ChatGPT built in, reframing browsing around an AI assistant that understands context across tabs. Agent mode—available in preview—can open pages and complete tasks like booking appointments, while optional browser memories and parental controls aim to balance convenience with privacy. https://openai.com/index/introducing-chatgpt-atlas/ Microsoft Edge’s new Copilot Mode turns on more AI features | 2025-10-24 Just days after OpenAI’s Atlas debut, Microsoft rolled out Copilot Mode in Edge, pitching the browser itself as an AI companion. It can summarize across tabs and take “Actions”—like unsubscribing from emails or making reservations—though early tests found the automation patchy and sometimes misleading. https://www.theverge.com/news/805833/microsoft-edge-copilot-mode-ai-launch Anthropic to use Google's AI chips worth tens of billions to train Claude chatbot | 2025-10-24 Anthropic struck a multiyear deal to tap up to one million of Google’s Tensor Processing Units, dramatically expanding compute for future Claude models. The agreement—valued in the tens of billions—targets more than one gigawatt of capacity coming online in 2026, underscoring the shift toward TPUs as Nvidia alternatives. https://www.reuters.com/technology/anthropic-expand-use-google-clouds-tpu-chips-2025-10-23/ Living dangerously with Claude | 2025-10-22 Simon Willison describes the appeal of running Claude Code in “YOLO mode”—letting agents work with minimal prompts and permissions to ship real projects fast. He then flips the coin, warning that prompt injection and data exfiltration risks demand strong sandboxing if you’re granting agents broad access. https://simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/22/living-dangerously-with-claude/ Agent2Agent (A2A) Protocol | n.d. Pydantic AI adds first-class support for Google’s Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol, an open standard for inter-agent messaging and task handoff. The new FastA2A library and a convenience to_a2a() wrapper expose Python agents as A2A servers, handling task storage, context threads, and artifacts out of the box. https://ai.pydantic.dev/a2a/ Announcing Cloudflare Email Service’s private beta | 2025-09-25 Cloudflare introduced Email Service, letting developers send and receive email directly from Workers without juggling third-party APIs. It auto-configures SPF, DKIM and DMARC for deliverability and runs on Cloudflare’s global network, with “Email Sending” in private beta ahead of pricing details. https://blog.cloudflare.com/email-service/ Meet the real screen addicts: the elderly | 2025-10-23 The Economist argues that older adults, not teens, now dominate screen time—and that their usage is only set to grow. With pensioners spending more than half their waking hours on devices, the piece probes whether screens are worsening isolation and health or offering connection and care. https://www.economist.com/international/2025/10/23/meet-the-real-screen-addicts-the-elderly
