Episode Summary

In this episode, we explore how artificial intelligence is rapidly moving from experimentation into core economic infrastructure. We begin with New York’s RAISE Act, highlighting the growing power struggle between state governments and Big Tech over AI regulation. We then examine Cursor’s acquisition of Graphite, showing how AI software tools are consolidating into end-to-end platforms. Next, we look at how AI is transforming marketing agencies into software-driven production systems.
