Episode Details

Most people think AI is just “smart magic.” But today’s episode exposes the real cost behind your favorite tools, and it’s not just your electricity bill. From AI prompts that pollute more than you think to ChatGPT crushing X in global traffic, we’re breaking down what’s really going on in the AI world right now.

We’ll talk about:

• How one single “smart” prompt can emit 6x more CO₂ than a normal one
• Why ChatGPT just passed X.com in traffic, and it’s not even close
• A tiny AI team at Duolingo building a full chess course using just Cursor
• What OpenAI’s legal mess with Jony Ive says about AI branding wars
