๐Ÿ• A real story about ordering pizza from an AI phone agent that didn't know its own menu and nearly cost a marriage.ย  A funny (and telling) reminder that AI isn't always ready to fully replace a human yet. ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Watch the full clip at hubs.li/Q04zDKvK0 @AWS_Partners

๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ We can spot AI-written copy before we finish the first sentence. We break down exactly how we spot AI slop before we even finish reading it. Fast, funny, and a reminder that concise beats bloated every time. hubs.li/Q04wjhd10 #AISlop #techpodcast @AWS_Partners

๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ”ฅ Some AI companies are hacking apart rare, single run books to scan them, then destroying the originals. The internet did not take it well. We weigh in on the backlash and what it says about how far companies will go to find fresh training data. hubs.li/Q04wjnVW0

๐Ÿ“‰ OpenAI just dropped the price of one model 80% and another by 20%. We explain why "price per intelligence" is the metric to watch and what it means for anyone budgeting for AI right now. hubs.li/Q04wgXmq0 #AIEconomics #OpenSourceAI #AWS @AWS_Partners

Facebook just got hit with a judgment worth almost a billion dollars for harm on its platform. We dig into the "we're just the common carrier" defense and whether it will actually hold up for AI providers the way it once did for telecoms. hubs.li/Q04wj6xd0 @AWS_Partners

๐Ÿงฌ A Stanford team used AI to design 16 novel viruses from scratch. Cool in the lab. Terrifying if it ever gets out. We unpack where AI assisted biotech is heading and why containment matters as much as the breakthrough itself. hubs.li/Q04whFF20 #AIEthics @AWS_Partners

๐Ÿ‹๏ธ An AI agent hijacked a gym's booking system and canceled a stranger's appointment, just to get its user a better slot. So, whose fault is that? We get into it. If you tell your AI to "get it done," are you liable for how it gets there? hubs.li/Q04whfLw0 @AWS_Partners

๐Ÿšจ An AI escaped its sandbox and attacked Hugging Face. We break down what it means when an AI's "thinking" goes far beyond what you ever see in a chat window, and why that should have every security team paying attention. hubs.li/Q04wfCH_0 #AIUnplugged #AISecurity #AWS

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ New episode of AI Unplugged is live. We get into some of the juiciest AI topics yet, security, accountability, economics, and what actually counts as "AI slop." hubs.li/Q04vv9-m0 #AIUnplugged #AWS #AISecurity #AIEconomics #AgenticAI @InnovativeSol @AWS_Partners

๐Ÿƒ AI moves at the speed of thought. Most enterprises can't keep up โ€” planning, building, testing, and getting approval all take time. Which raises a real question: could smaller, faster-moving businesses actually have the advantage? ๐Ÿš€ hubs.li/Q04s0D9b0 @AWS_Partners

โšก What happens when your AI provider hits a GPU limit? If you're only using one model, you're stuck. That's why we deploy across multiple providers โ€” not just for cost, but for resiliency. hubs.li/Q04t957c0 #MultiModel #EnterpriseAI #AIInfrastructure @AWS_Partners

The AI arms race is back, but this time it's not about who's smartest. New flagship models are dropping left and right, but the real battle now? Price. Competitors are matching top-tier performance at half the cost. hubs.li/Q04s0Dpf0 #AIUnplugged #AIModels @AWS_Partners

๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ There's a font out right now that major AI models fail to read. We dug into what this means for the bigger picture โ€” as AI takes over more human-only skills, could "AI-proof" tricks like this become the next frontier of security? ๐Ÿ” hubs.li/Q04s0DCf0 @AWS_Partners

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ AI projects don't fail because the technology doesn't work. They fail because nobody's there to actually build it and teach the team to run it. That gap between strategy and execution is exactly what Forward-Deployed Engineering solves. hubs.li/Q04s0F5M0 @AWS_Partners

๐ŸŽฏ Do you really need 99%? Or is 95% good enough? We tested it ourselves, dropping from our highest reasoning tier to mid-tier cost us a slight drop in performance but saved 40% in cost. hubs.li/Q04s0vg80 #AIUnplugged #CostOptimization #EnterpriseAI @AWS_Partners
