00:00Hello, everybody, and welcome back. There's a ton that's been happening in this past week.
00:04One of the biggest stories right now is that Tim Cook, who was the previous CEO of Apple,
00:09just stepped down as CEO. We can see here that Apple's new CEO, John Turnus,
00:14takes over from Tim Cook after 15 years. Now, I'm genuinely surprised that it's been 15 years.
00:20I don't know about you, but I thought it was like eight or nine years in my head. That's how
00:24long
00:24he had been CEO. I mean, Steve Jobs was just in there forever. I didn't feel like 15 years had
00:30passed since Tim Cook had actually become the CEO. But here we are 15 years later. In that time,
00:36Tim Cook took Apple from about a $300 billion company to a $4 trillion company. I would say
00:42he did a pretty good job. We can see here there's a lot of notable things that he helped launch.
00:48And before that, Steve Jobs, of course, you know, helped pioneer Apple into the company that we know
00:52it today. John Turnus was the senior vice president of hardware engineering, and he is
00:57extremely knowledgeable. He's done lots of interviews with a lot of really notable people,
01:02people like Marquise Brownlee. And over the past several years, he's been on a lot of news networks
01:06talking about product launches and how they're engineering things. And it really seems like
01:10they've been grooming him for a while to take on this position. Each previous CEO is marked by the
01:16products that they launch. And this is a product guy. So I'm extremely interested to see what they
01:20launch. In my opinion, like we talked about last week, they're probably going to launch their Apple
01:25glasses, which I'm extremely excited about. Now, these glasses haven't been announced by Apple,
01:29but they might look something like this. And I'm sure they're going to resemble meta glasses in a lot
01:34of different ways. The next story is that OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and 100 other companies call for
01:39action to defend against rogue AI. It says right here, in the coming months, AI-enabled cyber attacks will
01:45become far more widespread and sophisticated as models around the world become increasingly capable.
01:50The companies and public services our communities depend on from hospitals to water treatment plans
01:55to the infrastructure that powers the internet are at risk. Now, if you haven't seen this in the news
01:59in recent months, they're basically saying that the latest models that are being created have just
02:04kind of done some scary stuff. They've been finding vulnerabilities in different systems,
02:09and they've basically been hacking into them. This is, of course, just a huge risk to the general
02:12public because, as you know, almost all of our systems are connected and secured digitally. So if you go to
02:19a
02:19water treatment facility, if someone was able to get in there and shut it down, it could all be done
02:23remotely. They don't actually have to be in person to shut down a water treatment facility, which gives
02:28clean water to an entire area. And so these companies are like, hey, we need to do something about this.
02:33And
02:33they're basically urging everyone to work together to kind of co-review different models so that they can stress
02:39test them before they get released into the public. Is this actually going to happen? Probably not, because in the
02:44United States, competition is everything. They don't really want to slow down and regulate things
02:49and have all this oversight and have competitors be able to see what they're working on. In our next
02:54story, it says over 1 million people clicked LinkedIn's seems-like AI slot button as the platform
02:59fights to keep dead internet theory from becoming reality. Now, we talked about this a few weeks ago,
03:04how LinkedIn was going to be rolling this out. I myself was able to see this. If I come onto
03:08my LinkedIn,
03:09and sorry, Joe Reese, I know this isn't AI slot, but if I come in here, I can mark this
03:14seems-like
03:14AI slot. I'm not going to do that. Joe's a friend of mine. But if this was AI slot, I
03:19would be able to
03:20now mark this as AI slot and just say, hey, I don't like this content. It doesn't seem genuine.
03:25And it doesn't say that there are 1 million posts that were flagged as AI slot. There's 1 million
03:29separate people. So just having launched this just a few weeks ago, that's a good start that people are
03:35actually doing this so we can get this into the algorithm quicker. Because in the end, this is a
03:39social media platform. It has to get into the algorithm to actually kind of train it and start
03:44taking out all that AI-generated stuff, which may or may not ever happen, but at least it seems like
03:49they're trying to make progress in this area. Our very last story for the day is something that I
03:54guess people could have seen coming, but the name was shocking to me as well as others. They're
04:00calling it Claudeforce. This is Salesforce and Anthropic together called Claudeforce. The number
04:06one AI meets the number one AI CRM. It says right here that Salesforce and Anthropic are announcing
04:11Claudeforce, right? That's a great name. Love it. An expanded strategic partnership bringing Claude's
04:17intelligence and reasoning together with Salesforce's trusted enterprise harness to make its data
04:23workflows and business logic actions and governance securely accessible to power agentic experiences
04:29wherever work happens. It says the Claudeforce partnership launches with Salesforce in Claude.
04:34So it's not Claude in Salesforce. It's Salesforce in Claude, a plugin with 37 pre-built sales skills
04:40that enables sellers and agents to reason over live revenue context, automate pipeline updates,
04:46and take governed action right from Claude with the power of Salesforce directly where sellers work.
04:52Now, I think this is actually a really big thing, and I'll tell you why in just a little bit,
04:55but the markets also agreed with me because it says right here, Salesforce stock jumped 18%
05:02on AI growth and Anthropic investment gain. So the markets are rallying as people heard this new,
05:07and I think that is really justified. Salesforce is a massive company. I've used a lot of their tools
05:11throughout my career. As we all know, AI is growing, and AI is going to change how we do things.
05:16And if you're working within Salesforce and you have AI things that you want to take care of,
05:20you may not even have to go into Salesforce anymore. There are bits and pieces of it that you're going
05:24to be
05:24able to do just within Claude. Now, how this is actually going to roll out and how this is going
05:29to look, we aren't entirely sure, but having companies bring kind of functionality into an AI
05:35tool instead of putting an AI tool into their platform is a really big shift. So with that being
05:40said, that is all the news that we have for this week. It's a lot of stuff. One of the
05:44biggest things
05:44I just think is the Apple CEO changing over, right? That is very rare for Apple to change to go.
05:51They've only had a handful over the years. And this guy is just an engineer at heart,
05:55which I think is super interesting. I've actually watched a lot of his interviews over the years.
05:59And I think that he's just a really well-spoken, extremely smart guy. And I'm not shocked that he's,
06:05you know, being given this opportunity, but we'll see what he does and what products come out of it
06:10and what changes are actually made to Apple products, which I am a big fan of. If there's anything
06:14that I missed, be sure to leave comments that I can check it out. But with that being said,
06:17that is all we have for this week. If you liked this video, be sure to like and subscribe,
06:21and I will see you next week.
