    #203: Anthropic vs. Pentagon Round 3, NYT AI vs. Humans Writing Test, Atlassian’s AI-Era Layoffs & Grammarly's Expert Cloning Scandal
    Mar 17 2026
    Anthropic has filed two federal lawsuits to block the Pentagon's supply chain risk designation and the back-and-forth on X between the Pentagon CTO and AI policy experts is revealing what this fight is really about. Paul and Mike unpack the politics, the implications, and why a deal is inevitable. Then: 86,000 people took the NYT's AI writing quiz and most preferred the machine. Paul shares his human-to-machine writing scale and asks the question that actually matters: not whether AI can write, but when should we let it? Plus Atlassian's 1,600 AI-driven layoffs, Amazon's AI-caused outages, McKinsey's chatbot getting hacked in two hours, and more.

This Podcast is AWESOME! I stumbled upon a late 2025 episode and enjoyed it so much I went back and listened to them all. It was like a history lesson in Artificial Intelligence with all the blanks filled in. As a result of this podcast, I am ready to tackle the future at my grand young age of 59 1/2. Thank you Paul & Mike for your dedication to the facts, unbiased opinion, and keeping the politics out of the conversation. YOU ROCK!!!

I had to go back and listen to them all!!!
