Episode Details

Getty Images launched an MCP server today, giving any AI agent a standardized way to search, license and pull its creative, editorial and archival visuals — the company that sued a generative image model is now supplying the machines, and it's selling verified human-made content, not synthetic. Also today: an AI-operated newsroom beat human reporters — including a WIRED journalist in the room — to a Black Hat story by more than three hours, researchers documented the first fully autonomous cyberattack on a foreign government, Lovable doubled to a $13.3 billion valuation on a $400 million Series C, Anthropic worked investors ahead of what would be the largest IPO in history, and ad tech conceded that nobody can explain why AI-driven media decisions produce the outcomes they do. Host Jack King on what each one changes for revenue and go-to-market teams.
