    054 AI Is Creating Jobs + SaaS Dying Again, and The Future of Robotics

    We break down the latest in tech, AI, and startups live every Thursday at 11:00 AM Pacific and 2:00 PM Eastern on X, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Episode Description: This week Gregory and Paul unpack new research showing AI is creating jobs instead of eliminating them, debate whether SaaS is actually dying, and explore why robotics may transform our homes before it transforms every workplace. They also discuss Meta's increasingly confusing AI strategy, the political values embedded in AI models, Anthropic's billion-dollar profit announcement, and why AI glasses still feel more creepy than useful. 1. Meta Releases Spark Muse 1.1 2. AI is creating jobs, not destroying them 3. SpaceX loses 1.05T in valuation 4. SaaS is dying no WAYT it’s not 5. Physical AI and robotics 6. What values do AI models have? 7. Anthropic 3Q profit over $1B 8. AI glasses are still creepy Connect with Gregory & Paul Gregory Kennedy Website – https://www.vibeyoursaas.com LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregorykennedy/ X (Twitter) – https://twitter.com/gregorykennedy Paul Website – https://karmic.buzz LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/pxue/ X (Twitter) – https://twitter.com/pxue 1. Meta Enters the Coding AI Race 00:00 to 07:48 Mark Zuckerberg returns to X after more than three years to announce Meta's new coding model and expanding enterprise AI platform. Gregory and Paul discuss whether Meta has a real competitive advantage in coding models or if the market has already become too crowded. They also question whether Meta's massive AI infrastructure investments are finally being justified through enterprise products. 2. AI Is Creating Jobs, Not Destroying Them 07:48 to 15:36 A new report from Ramp finds that companies making the largest AI investments are hiring more employees, not fewer. High-intensity AI adopters increase employment by roughly 10%, with entry-level hiring rising even faster. The hosts argue that AI is amplifying successful companies rather than replacing workers, although legacy organizations that fail to adapt may eventually struggle. 3. Is SaaS Actually Dying? 15:44 to 25:35 After a viral thread claimed SaaS is collapsing, Gregory and Paul examine both sides of the debate. While public SaaS valuations have compressed, companies like Cursor and Lovable are becoming some of the fastest-growing software businesses ever. Their conclusion is that SaaS is not disappearing. Legacy software companies are simply being repriced while AI-native software companies redefine the category. 4. Physical AI and the Robotics Renaissance 25:35 to 36:11 Physical Intelligence raises $600 million to build robotics systems, sparking a broader discussion about the future of automation. Rather than creating robots that imitate humans, the hosts argue the long-term opportunity is redesigning homes, kitchens, factories, and workplaces around automation itself. They also explore why food preparation, construction, and household chores may become some of robotics' biggest markets. 5. What Political Values Do AI Models Have? 36:19 to 46:56 An Economist analysis maps the political and cultural values expressed by major AI models using the same survey employed to study countries around the world since 1981. Despite being built by different companies and even different nations, most frontier models cluster around similar Western, secular values. Gregory and Paul discuss sovereign AI, training data, post-training alignment, and the geopolitical implications of value systems embedded in AI. 6. Anthropic Reports Over $1 Billion in Quarterly Profit 47:03 to 48:17 Anthropic announces more than $1 billion in quarterly profit, fueling speculation that the company may be preparing for an IPO. While Gregory views the milestone as a major execution win, Paul questio...

    We break down the latest in tech, AI, and startups live every Thursday at 11:00 AM Pacific and 2:00 PM Eastern on X, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Episode Description: This week Gregory and Paul break down OpenAI's leaked financial statements and what they reveal about the real economics of AI. The conversation explores why even the fastest-growing company in history spends billions on sales and marketing, why the AI jobs apocalypse narrative continues to fall apart, and how enterprises are racing to reduce AI token costs through smarter engineering. The discussion also covers the coming data center boom, why nuclear power may become essential for AI, vacation culture around the world, TikTok's latest lawsuit, Elon Musk's X Money strategy, and closes with one of the funniest pieces of internet satire of the year. Topics covered: 1. OpenAI's Leaked Financials Reveal the Real Cost of Growth 2. Ford Rehires Engineers After AI Falls Short 3. Coinbase Slashes AI Token Spending 4. The $3 Trillion Data Center Buildout 5. Vacation Maxxing 6. The TikTok Lawsuit and Social Media Responsibility 7. Elon Musk's X Money Strategy 8. Florida Woman Creates Costco's Greatest Happy Hour Connect with Gregory & Paul Gregory Kennedy Website – https://www.vibeyoursaas.com LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregorykennedy/ X (Twitter) – https://twitter.com/gregorykennedy Paul Website – https://karmic.buzz LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/pxue/ X (Twitter) – https://twitter.com/pxue 1. OpenAI's Leaked Financials Reveal the Real Cost of Growth 02:32 to 15:10 Gregory analyzes OpenAI's leaked 2025 financials, focusing on the company's enormous sales and marketing spend. The discussion challenges the belief that AI companies can grow primarily through product-led growth, arguing that even OpenAI spends aggressively on sales, partnerships, customer success, and distribution. 2. Ford Rehires Engineers After AI Falls Short 15:14 to 21:31 Ford brings back more than 300 experienced engineers after AI failed to replace their expertise. The hosts use the story to revisit the AI jobs debate, arguing that the labor market is evolving rather than collapsing, with AI creating new categories of work alongside automation. 3. Coinbase Slashes AI Token Spending 21:35 to 27:55 Coinbase details how it's dramatically reducing AI costs through model routing, open source models, and engineering optimization. Gregory and Paul argue that AI competition is shifting away from model quality alone toward economics, efficiency, and infrastructure. 4. The $3 Trillion Data Center Buildout 27:55 to 34:31 A new report forecasts a massive global expansion of AI infrastructure. The hosts discuss why doubling data center capacity will require enormous investments in power generation, why nuclear energy may become unavoidable, and how AI demand is reshaping global infrastructure planning. 5. Vacation Maxxing 34:31 to 38:47 Using new data from Andreessen Horowitz's charts newsletter, Gregory and Paul compare vacation habits around the world. The surprising takeaway is that Americans use more vacation than many stereotypes suggest, while Canada lands near the bottom of the rankings. 6. The TikTok Lawsuit and Social Media Responsibility 38:47 to 45:44 The hosts discuss TikTok's settlement over claims that its platform harms young users. They debate lawsuits versus regulation, the role of parents, phone bans in schools, and whether social media companies should bear greater responsibility for addictive product design. 7. Elon Musk's X Money Strategy 45:44 to 48:44 X Money begins rolling out as Elon Musk continues pursuing his long-term vision of building an "everything app." Gregory and Paul discuss payments, international transfers, and why financial servi...

    We break down the latest in tech, AI, and startups live every Thursday at 11:00 AM Pacific and 2:00 PM Eastern on X, LinkedIn, and YouTube. E051 Topics: 1. SpaceX acquires Cursor 2. Silicon Valley VCs discover taste 3. The (not so) cool new Snapchat Specs 4. Satay’s essay on a frontier without an ecosystem 5. Tokenomics 6. SoftBank tried to borrow $6 billion against its 13% OpenAI stock 7. Midjourney's new ultrasound imaging spa Episode Overview This week Gregory and Paul unpack the aftermath of the SpaceX IPO and the blockbuster Cursor acquisition. They debate whether Elon Musk is quietly building the foundation for a future Tesla and SpaceX merger, discuss Silicon Valley's latest obsession with "taste," and break down why Microsoft's CEO may have written the most important AI essay of the year. The conversation also covers Snapchat's controversial AR glasses, token economics, OpenAI's valuation challenges, and Midjourney's surprising move into healthcare. Connect with Gregory & Paul Gregory Kennedy Website – https://www.vibeyoursaas.com LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregorykennedy/ X (Twitter) – https://twitter.com/gregorykennedy Paul Website – https://karmic.buzz LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/pxue/ X (Twitter) – https://twitter.com/pxue 1. SpaceX Acquires Cursor 01:50 to 08:45 The hosts analyze SpaceX's acquisition of Cursor and discuss whether the deal is simply an AI coding acquisition or part of a much larger strategy. They explore how AI infrastructure, developer tools, and compute resources could transform SpaceX into one of the largest AI companies in the world. 2. Will Tesla and SpaceX Eventually Merge? 05:15 to 08:40 Gregory argues that Elon Musk may be executing a long term financial strategy that ultimately combines Tesla and SpaceX into a single entity. The discussion explores valuation engineering, stock issuance, and why the current regulatory environment may create a unique opportunity. 3. Has the SpaceX IPO Proven There Is No Bubble? 08:45 to 11:30 Despite enormous hype, SpaceX stock remains relatively close to its IPO price. The hosts discuss why that may actually be evidence of a healthy market rather than a speculative mania, and why the outcome differs from historical bubbles. 4. Silicon Valley's New Obsession: Teaching AI Taste 11:30 to 21:15 Taste Labs raised millions of dollars to train AI systems on design judgment and aesthetic preferences. Gregory and Paul debate whether taste can actually be quantified, why the company faced intense criticism online, and whether Silicon Valley fundamentally misunderstands what creative taste really is. 5. Can Good Taste Be Modeled? 14:00 to 18:15 The conversation moves deeper into design philosophy. Gregory argues that any serious attempt to model taste requires a sophisticated framework that accounts for context, culture, audience, genre, irony, and intent rather than relying on a single definition of quality. 6. Snapchat's Giant AR Glasses Problem 21:15 to 26:15 The hosts react to Snapchat's latest augmented reality glasses and question whether consumers will ever adopt bulky wearable devices. They discuss Apple Vision Pro, smart glasses, voice interfaces, and what the future of human computer interaction may actually look like. 7. Satya Nadella's AI Essay 26:15 to 42:15 Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella publishes a lengthy essay arguing that judgment, not labor, becomes the defining skill in an AI driven economy. Gregory and Paul examine the essay's central thesis and debate whether AI will enhance human expertise or gradually replace large portions of knowledge work. 8.

Apple is supposedly fixing Siri 6. NVIDIA is worth more than India (American math) 7. Token maxxing is over part 2 8. Vibe Your SaaS: Startup Pitch Competition + VC/Founder Mixer @ Snowflake This week Gregory and Paul dedicate most of the show to the biggest tech IPO event in years: the SpaceX IPO. They debate whether retail investor enthusiasm has reached dangerous levels, compare SpaceX to Facebook's famous IPO, and discuss whether buying on day one is investing or gambling. The conversation expands into OpenAI's upcoming IPO challenges, Anthropic's positioning, why Stripe may never go public, and whether Elon Musk has built the most dominant technology business of the next decade. Along the way they discuss Apple's AI struggles, Sam Altman's strategic mistakes, and why some of the best companies in the world may prefer staying private forever. Connect with Gregory & Paul Gregory Kennedy Website – https://www.vibeyoursaas.com LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregorykennedy/ X (Twitter) – https://twitter.com/gregorykennedy Paul Website – https://karmic.buzz LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/pxue/ X (Twitter) – https://twitter.com/pxue 1. SpaceX IPO Fever Has Arrived 01:40 to 03:15 The hosts react to reports of retail investors borrowing money and committing life savings to buy SpaceX shares. Gregory and Paul discuss whether this level of enthusiasm represents healthy excitement or classic bubble behavior. 2. The Facebook IPO Comparison 03:15 to 06:20 Gregory shares a firsthand story from the Facebook IPO and explains why one of the most successful IPOs in history was actually viewed as a disappointment on day one. The discussion explores what an IPO is supposed to accomplish and whether a massive first day pop is actually a sign of poor pricing. 3. Predicting SpaceX's First Trading Day 06:20 to 12:50 With only a small percentage of shares entering the public market, the hosts debate supply, demand, retail participation, index inclusion, and whether the stock could double on its first day. They compare their predictions to current market expectations and betting markets. 4. Why Oversubscription Numbers May Be Meaningless 13:00 to 14:55 Jim Cramer reports that SpaceX is four times oversubscribed. Gregory and Paul explain why IPO demand statistics can be misleading and how investor behavior often creates self fulfilling narratives around popular offerings. 5. Why Stripe Still Refuses to Go Public 15:00 to 19:55 The hosts explore one of Silicon Valley's biggest mysteries: why Stripe continues to avoid the public markets. They discuss profitability, transparency, shareholder buybacks, payment infrastructure economics, and whether public disclosure could create problems for an otherwise perfect business. 6. Should You Actually Buy an IPO? 20:00 to 25:20 Gregory reviews IPO performance data and highlights a surprising observation. While many IPOs struggle initially, some of the biggest technology winners in history generated enormous returns for investors who simply held them long term. Amazon, Meta, Salesforce, and Palantir become key examples in the discussion. 7. The Best Time to Buy Might Be 6 to 12 Months Later 25:20 to 31:20 The conversation turns to post IPO trading patterns. The hosts discuss lockups, employee selling pressure, Figma's struggles as a public company, and whether waiting six to twelve months after an IPO often creates...

Google raises $80 in stock, including $10B from Berkshire Hathaway 6. iOS 27 has Siri rebuilt with Gemini 7. SpaceX's IPO is priced at $135 a share 8. McKinsey: Out with 2-week sprints, in with 24-hour work model Episode Overview This week Gregory and Paul discuss a milestone many expected but few thought would happen this soon: bots now generate more internet traffic than humans. They explore what that means for websites, marketing, agents, and the future of online experiences. The conversation then moves into the economics of AI, from Microsoft's decision to move away from Claude Code, whether tech layoffs are really about AI or simply the end of the Zero Interest Rate Era, Google's massive capital raise, Anthropic's IPO filing, the SpaceX IPO, and why the traditional two week sprint may finally be dead. Connect with Gregory & Paul Gregory Kennedy Website – https://www.vibeyoursaas.com LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregorykennedy/ X (Twitter) – https://twitter.com/gregorykennedy Paul Website – https://karmic.buzz LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/pxue/ X (Twitter) – https://twitter.com/pxue 1. Bots Officially Outnumber Humans on the Internet 02:30 to 11:15 New data from Cloudflare suggests automated traffic now exceeds human traffic on the internet. Gregory and Paul discuss agent driven browsing, the Dead Internet Theory, and why websites may soon need to optimize for AI agents as much as human visitors. They also debate whether businesses are prepared for a future where software becomes the primary consumer of web content. 2. Why AI Agents Still Frustrate Gregory 06:20 to 09:45 Despite growing enthusiasm around AI agents, Gregory argues that hallucinations remain a major problem. The discussion explores why seemingly simple automations often break down when they encounter real world workflows, integrations, and edge cases. 3. Microsoft Moves Away from Claude Code 11:15 to 13:15 Microsoft's decision to limit Claude Code usage sparks a broader conversation about AI costs. Rather than abandoning AI, Microsoft appears focused on lowering expenses through model routing and greater use of its own ecosystem. 4. The Rise of AI Token Economics 12:00 to 18:45 OpenAI reveals that some customers are consuming more than 100 billion tokens per month while developers report spending millions of dollars on AI usage. Gregory and Paul discuss enterprise token budgets, ROI scrutiny from CFOs, and why every company is suddenly becoming obsessed with token efficiency. 5. Why Model Routing Could Become a Huge Business 15:00 to 18:20 As organizations juggle multiple AI providers, model routing emerges as a potential infrastructure layer. The hosts compare it to previous technology waves where middleware companies flourished before markets eventually consolidated. 6. Should Crypto Be Solving the AI Compute Problem? 19:20 to 25:30 A spontaneous discussion explores whether blockchain and tokenized systems should play a larger role in allocating AI compute resources. The hosts debate decentralization, incentives, scarcity, and whether crypto solved a problem the market never actually cared about. 7. AI Layoffs or the End of ZIRP? 26:40 to 35:50 The hosts examine an alternative explanation for tech layoffs. Rather than AI replacing workers, they argue much of the pain may stem from the end of the Zero Interest Rate Policy era that fueled aggressive hiring and venture capital investment for more than a decade. ...

SpaceX Files for the Biggest IPO Ever 02:30 to 16:19 SpaceX seeks a reported $1.7 trillion valuation and a massive public offering. Gregory breaks down the numbers, the role of retail investors, Starlink's growth, and why the company may be one of the most ambitious businesses ever created. The discussion covers everything from AI infrastructure and connectivity to asteroid mining and Mars colonization. 2. Why Neither of Them Is Buying the IPO 13:50 to 16:19 Despite admiring the company, both hosts remain cautious. They discuss lockup periods, valuation risk, regulatory uncertainty, and why buying into highly anticipated IPOs is often a difficult game for retail investors. 3. Sam Altman and Dario Amodei Walk Back AI Job Apocalypse Claims 16:26 to 18:29 After years of warnings that AI would replace huge portions of the workforce, major AI leaders appear to be softening their stance. Gregory argues that many of the original predictions were unrealistic and created unnecessary anxiety. 4. Uber's Token Budget Problem 17:35 to 22:24 The hosts examine growing concerns around AI costs. Companies are spending millions on tokens, yet many struggle to connect AI usage directly to revenue growth or productivity gains. The discussion explores model routing, optimization, and the challenge of measuring actual ROI. 5.

    047 OpenAI is Going Public + Google Rewrites Search

    We break down the latest in tech, AI, and startups live every Thursday at 11:00 AM Pacific and 2:00 PM Eastern on X, LinkedIn, and YouTube. E047 Topics: 1. OpenAI is preparing to go public 2. Google I/O 3. Introducing Gemini Omni 4. Google's Intelligent search box 5. Kevin O'Leary Calls Out $28 Lunches for $70K Earners in Viral Clip 6. Jeff Bezos on AOC and Mamdani: Politicians Create Villains To Blame When They Can’t Solve Problems 7. Elon Musk has lost his lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI 8. Gregory tried the Beehiiv MCP server Episode Overview This week Gregory and Paul dive into one of the biggest shifts in tech right now. OpenAI appears to be preparing for an IPO while Google moves aggressively to reinvent search with AI at the center. The conversation expands into AI video, changing consumer behavior, billionaire debates, growing anxiety around jobs, and a very real lesson about the gap between AI demos and reality. The recurring theme throughout the episode is that distribution still wins, but expectations around AI may be running far ahead of reality. Connect with Gregory & Paul Gregory Kennedy Website – https://www.vibeyoursaas.com LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregorykennedy/ X (Twitter) – https://twitter.com/gregorykennedy Paul Website – https://karmic.buzz LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/pxue/ X (Twitter) – https://twitter.com/pxue OpenAI IPO Could Become AI’s Public Market Test 02:01 to 07:36 The discussion begins with OpenAI potentially heading toward an IPO and what that means for the broader ecosystem. Gregory and Paul debate whether public markets embrace AI enthusiasm or finally force reality into valuations. Google Search Is Being Rewritten in Real Time 07:37 to 12:19 Google I/O revealed major shifts toward AI powered search, intelligent agents, and contextual results. The hosts debate whether this is truly a new paradigm or another Google reinvention that eventually becomes overly complicated. AI Video and the Future of YouTube 12:20 to 20:01 The conversation shifts toward Gemini, AI video generation, and YouTube becoming increasingly AI driven. Gregory worries about creators being squeezed while Paul believes younger audiences will embrace AI content more naturally. Google Might Already Be Winning AI 20:01 to 23:41 The hosts argue that Google’s distribution advantage across search, Gmail, Android, YouTube, and cloud infrastructure may ultimately outweigh the excitement around OpenAI and newer entrants. Kevin O’Leary and the Return of Boomer Advice 23:44 to 25:18 Kevin O'Leary criticizes people spending $28 on lunch, leading into a discussion around generational money advice, housing affordability, and why younger people may have stopped believing traditional financial playbooks. Jeff Bezos, Billionaires, and Taxes 25:26 to 30:12 Jeff Bezos’ recent comments on taxes spark a broader conversation around wealth, entrepreneurship, and whether everyone should have skin in the game through taxation. Elon vs Sam Ends, But AI Anxiety Grows 30:13 to 44:36 The Elon Musk versus Sam Altman legal battle ends, but the hosts pivot toward a much larger issue. Young people increasingly view AI as a threat rather than an opportunity. Gregory and Paul debate whether this reflects real labor market changes or simply another cycle of technology driven fear. The Beehive MCP Reality Check 44:43 to 50:58 Gregory shares his experience experimenting with Beehive’s MCP server and walking through the entire AI adoption curve in a single session. Initial excitement quickly turned into frustration as limitations around context, data quality, and analysis surfaced. The discussion becomes a larger lesson around where AI tools succeed and where they still fall apart.
