20 Million People Pay for Microsoft Copilot. Should You?
🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. Microsoft announced that 20 million people are now paying for Copilot. That’s a staggering number for a product that barely existed two years ago. But numbers like that don’t tell you whether it’s right for you — they just tell you that Microsoft’s marketing budget is enormous. I’ve been using Copilot daily for months, and here’s what I actually think: it’s good. It’s not magic. And whether it’s worth $30 a month depends entirely on what you’re trying to do. ...
Stop Doing Things Manually — 5 AI Workflows That Save Hours Every Week
🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. I used to spend my first two hours every morning doing the same things. Check email, copy data into a spreadsheet, format a report, post to social media, respond to the same types of messages. Every single day. The work wasn’t hard — it was just relentless. And the worst part was knowing that none of it required a human brain. It was copy-paste work dressed up as productivity. ...
The ChatGPT Education Study That Got Retracted — What Actually Went Wrong
🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. Last April, one of the most widely-shared studies about AI in education got pulled from a Nature journal. If you’d seen the original headlines — “ChatGPT boosts student learning!” — you probably felt either validated or annoyed, depending on your stance. But the retraction tells a more important story than the original study ever did, and it’s one that anyone using AI tools should understand. ...
The Massive AI Data Center Deal Nobody's Talking About — And You Can Invest
🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. I’ve been watching the AI infrastructure space for a while now, and something just happened that deserves way more attention than it’s getting. Yesterday — June 16, 2026 — a company called Coherent Corp broke ground on a $650 million expansion of its semiconductor facility in Sherman, Texas. Jensen Huang, the CEO of NVIDIA, was literally there with a shovel. And if you’re wondering why the CEO of a trillion-dollar AI company is flying to a small town an hour north of Dallas for a groundbreaking ceremony, that’s exactly the right question. ...
The AI Subscription Price War Has Begun — Here's What It Means for Your Wallet
🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. I used to tell people that $20 a month for ChatGPT Plus was the best money I spend on tools. Last week, Google cut its AI Plus plan to $4.99 a month — and doubled the storage. That changes the conversation. What just happened Google dropped Google AI Plus from $7.99 to $4.99 per month and bumped the included storage from 200GB to 400GB. For five bucks a month, you get Gemini Advanced, video generation via Omni Flash, Google Flow, and NotebookLM — Google’s AI research assistant that turns your documents into podcast-style summaries. ...
Voice AI: what GPT-5 can actually do now
🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. I’ve been testing voice AI for over a year now, and the gap between what it could do six months ago and what it can do today is genuinely surprising. GPT-5 shipped in August 2025, but the voice capabilities that came with it — and the specialized models OpenAI released alongside it — have quietly changed what’s possible when you talk to AI instead of typing. Here’s what’s actually new, what’s useful, and what’s still more demo than product. ...
You can now build a web app by describing it — these 5 tools actually work
🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. Something shifted in 2026. You used to need a developer to build a web app. Then you needed no-code tools like Bubble or Glide. Now? You type what you want, and an AI builds it for you. Not a mockup — a working app with a frontend, backend, database, and authentication. ...
Google just launched a $100/month AI plan — here's what you actually get
🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. Google just dropped the price of its top-tier AI plan from $250 to $100 a month, and I had to do a double-take. At Google I/O 2026, they announced a completely new pricing structure that puts their most powerful AI tools at a price point that actually competes with ChatGPT and Claude. But “compete” and “are worth it” are two very different things. Here’s what I found after digging through every detail. ...
How to build a faceless YouTube channel for free — the complete AI pipeline
🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. I built a faceless YouTube channel pipeline without spending a dollar on paid tools. Not because I’m cheap — because I wanted to know if the “passive income with AI YouTube” hype actually holds up when you strip away the expensive subscriptions everyone recommends. The answer is: it works, but not the way the gurus sell it. Here’s exactly how I did it, what actually works, and where the free tier hits its ceiling. ...
Remotion: The Open-Source Tool That Renders Videos From Code
🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. I keep seeing tools promise “video creation for everyone.” And then you open them up and realize “everyone” means “everyone who wants to pick from the same 12 templates everyone else is using. Remotion is different — and not because it’s easier. It’s different because it treats video the way the web treats pages: as code. If that sentence excites you, keep reading. If it scares you, keep reading anyway — because understanding this tool changes how you think about video production, even if you never write a line of React. ...
