    Are AI jobs disappearing faster than they're being created—or are we asking the wrong question?
    For months, AI leaders warned of massive job losses. Now, some of the same voices are changing their tune. But while Sam Altman and Dario Amodei are sounding more optimistic, tech layoffs continue to climb, AI anxiety is spreading across the workforce, and business leaders are facing a difficult question: what's actually happening beneath the headlines? 
    In this week's AI News episode, Isar Matis breaks down the conflicting signals shaping the future of work and explains why the next few years may be far more turbulent than many expect. He also explores a major shift in the AI race: why model intelligence is no longer the primary battleground, and why speed, cost, accessibility, and business value are becoming the metrics that matter most. 
    If you're a business leader trying to understand where AI is headed—and what it means for your workforce, strategy, and competitive advantage—this episode provides a practical framework for separating hype from reality.
    In this session, you'll discover:
     Why Sam Altman says he may have been wrong about the pace of AI-driven job disruption. 
     The Jevons Paradox and how increased AI productivity could create new demand. 
     The reality behind recent tech layoffs and whether AI is truly responsible. 
     Why employee anxiety around AI may matter more than the statistics themselves. 
     The growing gap between jobs being eliminated and new AI-related roles being created. 
     Why reskilling workers may be harder than most organizations expect. 
     How the AI race is shifting from model quality to business value. 
     Why open-source models are rapidly closing the gap with frontier AI systems. 
     The hidden cost explosion companies are experiencing with AI tokens and agents. 
     What Microsoft's latest Build announcements reveal about the future of enterprise AI. 
     Why robots cleaning homes may be an early sign of AI's impact on blue-collar work.

    What if your biggest growth problem isn’t a lack of leads—but too many of the wrong ones?
    Most business leaders assume more traffic, more campaigns, and more leads equal more growth. But what if the real opportunity is creating fewer, smarter, higher-converting interactions?
    In this conversation, Andy Crestodina breaks down how AI is transforming B2B lead generation—not by creating more marketing noise, but by helping companies deeply understand buyers, optimize conversions, and align messaging with customer psychology. The result? Better leads. Better conversion rates. Less wasted effort. 
    Andy shares practical frameworks and AI-powered tactics for optimizing landing pages, creating stronger calls-to-action, building smarter personas, and turning websites into conversion engines. If your business is generating attention but not enough qualified opportunities, this session gives you a roadmap.
    In this session, you'll discover:
    • Why more leads can actually create more overhead instead of more growth
    • How AI helps identify and attract the right audience—not just a bigger one
    • Why conversion optimization starts at the end of the buyer journey 
    • The hidden psychology behind high-performing CTAs 
    • How AI-generated personas can sharpen messaging and improve marketing relevance 
    • Practical AI workflows for auditing landing pages and improving conversion rates 
    • Why doubling conversion rates can transform growth faster than increasing traffic 
    Andy Crestodina is the Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Orbit Media and one of the most respected voices in B2B content strategy, SEO, conversion optimization, and digital marketing. With 25+ years of experience helping businesses grow through data-driven marketing, Andy combines deep expertise with practical AI applications to improve lead generation and conversion outcomes.

    295 | “A Profound Moment for Humanity" (Demis Hassabis, CEO Google Deep Mind). Connecting the dots of this weeks news to understand why. May 22, 2026

    23/05/2026 | 44 mins.
    This week wasn’t just another wave of AI announcements.

    It may have been the week the industry quietly crossed into a different phase entirely.

    In this episode, Isar connects the dots behind one of the biggest weeks in AI so far—from Anthropic’s explosive growth, to Google I/O, OpenAI’s legal win, NVIDIA’s record earnings, and Andrej Karpathy joining Anthropic to work on recursive self-improvement.

    Individually, each story matters.

    Together, they point to something bigger: accelerating AI capability, accelerating infrastructure buildout, and growing signals from the people closest to the frontier that we may be entering a very different era.

    The quote that framed the episode came from Demis Hassabis:
     “We were standing at the foothills of the singularity. It will be a profound moment for humanity.”

    This episode breaks down what that actually means—and why the implications go far beyond new models and product launches.

    In this session, you’ll discover:
     - Why Anthropic’s projected $44B annualized revenue shocked the industry
     - How Anthropic became more profitable per user than OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft
     - Why Andrej Karpathy joining Anthropic may be one of the year’s biggest AI stories
     - What recursive self-improvement (RSI) means—and why labs are racing toward it
     - How OpenAI’s legal win against Elon Musk clears the runway for a potential IPO
     - Why Google’s AI strategy suddenly looks both confusing and incredibly ambitious
     - What Google’s shift from “search” to autonomous AI agents means for websites and SEO
     - Why AI solving an 80-year-old math problem matters more than most people realize
     - How NVIDIA, SpaceX, and compute infrastructure are becoming central to the AI race
     - Why electricity—not chips—may become the biggest bottleneck in AI expansion
     - What Demis Hassabis means when he says we’re at the “foothills of the singularity”
