Google just made every $50K master's degree look like a scam. They dropped "Google Skills" - 3,000+ AI courses from DeepMind, Cloud, and Google Education in one platform. And it's 100% FREE for Google Cloud users. The same content universities charge $60K for: - DeepMind's actual AI research training...

There is a difference between building a skill and thinking from first principles. Universities should train students in thinking, not just doing. Whether universities succeed is another question. We must stop confusing these two.

Five years out from now, colleges and universities won't even exist - because there will no longer be any need for them.

The structure and discipline that schools provide is forever necessary. Anyone who says otherwise is scheming.

@petersonacademy already showed masters & phd scam very clearly for 400 dollars a year. This just adds to it. Knowledge should be free and accessible for every human. And we are finally reaching that point in human history. Amazing.

If this mattered Google would hire the people that take advantage of this, but they won't. Because the problem isn't a skills gap. They want H1Bs. Period.

Google just acquired an Israeli Trojan horse to STEAL clients from AWS and Microsoft. $32 billion. All cash. For a cybersecurity startup called Wiz. It’s the largest acquisition in Google’s history. But nobody’s talking about what they ACTUALLY bought... Here’s why this is way bigger than you think: Wiz protects over half the Fortune 100. Their clients run on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle. The platform scans every workload, every vulnerability, every misconfiguration across ALL of those clouds. Meaning Wiz has a god-level view of how the world's biggest companies use their competitors' infrastructure. And Google just bought that view for $32 billion. Now think about what Google Cloud's biggest problem has been for YEARS... They're stuck in third place. 13% market share. AWS has 30%. Azure has 20%. Google has been hemorrhaging money trying to close that gap and nothing has worked. Wiz changes that equation overnight. Because Wiz doesn't just protect cloud environments. It MAPS them. It knows which companies are running what workloads, where their vulnerabilities are, and where they're overpaying. Google now has a real-time blueprint of its competitors' biggest customers. And it gets crazier: The 4 founders of Wiz previously built Adallom, a cloud security startup that Microsoft acquired for $320 million in 2015. After that acquisition, those same founders ran Microsoft's entire Azure Cloud Security Group. They literally built the security infrastructure that Azure runs on today. Then they left. Started Wiz. Built a product that works across every cloud. Got 45% of the Fortune 100 as customers. Most of those customers are on AWS and Azure. And now they just handed ALL of that to Google. Google promised Wiz will remain "multi-cloud" and continue working with AWS, Azure, and Oracle. That's the public story. But here's the game theory every enterprise CTO is thinking about right now: If you're running sensitive workloads on AWS or Azure and your security layer is now owned by your competitor, how comfortable are you? Google doesn't need to do anything shady. The PERCEPTION alone is enough to start shifting enterprise decisions. And that's worth way more than $32 billion. But there's another layer... Wiz went from $0 to $100 million in revenue in 18 months. Fastest software company in history to hit that mark. By 2025, they were at $750 million. The founders said no to Google's first offer of $23 billion in 2024 because they wanted to IPO. 9 months later, they said yes to $32 billion. What changed? The IPO market collapsed. Tech IPOs dried up. Valuations got slashed. Wiz's leadership looked at the math and realized $32 billion in guaranteed cash beats an uncertain public offering in a hostile market. Google paid a 39% premium over the rejected offer. A multiple of 45-65x revenue. For a company founded 5 years ago by 4 guys who met in Israeli military intelligence. This is the BIGGEST tech acquisition of an Israeli-founded company ever. Bigger than Intel buying Mobileye for $15.3 billion. Bigger than anything in Israeli tech history. And Google is betting it will be worth every penny. Because the cloud war isn't about compute anymore. It's about TRUST. And the company that controls the security layer controls where enterprises put their most sensitive data. Google just bought the keys to every major cloud customer on the planet. The question is whether AWS and Microsoft let them keep using those keys. What do you think?

AMD might have disrupted Nvidia's entire cloud GPU rental business. In January at CES, AMD CEO Lisa Su demonstrated a $1,499 mini PC running the same class of AI model that currently costs companies $2,500 to $3,000 every month to rent from Nvidia-powered cloud servers. AMD's own branded version opened pre-orders this month at $3,999. Third party manufacturers have been selling the same chip since 2025 starting at $1,499. Here is exactly why this is dangerous for Nvidia. Nvidia's $75 billion quarterly revenue is built almost entirely on one business model, companies rent access to Nvidia GPUs through cloud providers like AWS and Lambda Labs to run AI. They pay monthly. Nvidia gets paid every time someone runs an AI model in the cloud. That recurring rental income is what turned Nvidia into a $5 trillion company. The AMD box eliminates that monthly fee permanently. One AI consultant switched from $2,800 per month in Nvidia cloud rental costs to $8 per month in electricity. The hardware paid for itself in 11 days. Over 8 months he generated $47,000 running the same AI workloads that previously left him paying Nvidia's ecosystem $2,800 every single month. Multiply that across thousands of enterprise customers and the revenue erosion becomes structural. Every business that buys this box stops paying cloud rental fees forever. Lawyers, doctors, banks, accountants, and financial advisors, businesses with sensitive data that cannot legally go to a cloud server represent billions in annual cloud GPU fees that Nvidia is now at risk of losing permanently. The threat is also closing in from the top. Google signed deals worth tens of billions with Anthropic and Meta to replace Nvidia with its own chips. Amazon built its own AI chips across AWS. Apple trained its AI on Google's chips, not Nvidia's. Custom silicon has grown from 21% of the AI chip market in 2025 to 28% in 2026. Nvidia's rental model only worked because serious AI compute had no alternative.

Google is making $62 billion a quarter destroying the websites it NEEDS to survive. This is literally a death spiral that ends with Google killing itself. Let me explain what's going on... Google added AI summaries to the top of every search result in 2024. When you Google something now, the answer sits right there on Google's page. You never have to click anywhere. Google took the information from someone else's website, summarized it, and kept you inside Google's ecosystem. The result: 60% of all Google searches now end without a single click to any website. Small publishers lost 60% of their traffic in one year. Medium publishers lost 47%. Even the biggest names in media, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Business Insider, all saw traffic fall between 22% and 55%. The Axios CEO called it "a referral extinction event for the ad-supported web." Google's response to all of this was to tell publishers they can "opt out" of having their content summarized. But opting out also REMOVES your description from normal search results. So the choice Google gives you is let us steal your content for free, or become invisible on the internet. That's extortion. The Washington Post laid off another round of journalists this year because of it. Stereogum, one of the most respected music publications on the internet, had to BEG readers for donations. Business Insider cut 21% of its staff. Dozens of smaller publishers have shut down entirely. The people who actually CREATE the information Google summarizes are going bankrupt while Google posts record revenue. But here's where this gets interesting and where everyone stops thinking: Google's AI summaries are only as good as the content they summarize. If the publishers who write the original articles, run the original investigations, and create the original data go out of business, there is nothing left for Google to summarize. The AI starts recycling old information, the answers get stale, the quality drops, and users start noticing that Google's summaries are increasingly wrong, outdated, or useless. Google is essentially strip-mining the internet for short-term revenue. They are extracting all the value from content creators without paying for it, driving those creators out of business, and then wondering why the quality of their own product is declining. This is exactly what Napster did to the music industry in the early 2000s: Made content free, creators went broke, and quality collapsed. It took a decade to rebuild. Google is doing the same thing to the entire internet at 100x the scale. Rolling Stone, Variety, Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, and Billboard are now suing Google for antitrust violations. Chegg, the education platform, lost 49% of its traffic and is suing too. The UK's competition authority just ordered Google to let publishers opt out without being punished. The DOJ already ruled Google is an illegal monopoly. And Google's defense in court is genuinely unbelievable. They argue that publishers CHOOSE to let Google index their content and can leave anytime they want. That's like saying you choose to pay protection money to the mob because technically you could close your business and move to another city. Google controls 90% of search. Leaving Google means leaving the internet. Meanwhile Google is investing billions in custom AI chips to make these summaries cheaper at scale. Every quarter the problem gets worse. The internet as we've known it for 25 years ran on a simple deal: Publishers make content. Google sends traffic. Advertisers pay for the traffic. Everyone wins. But Google just BROKE that deal and kept all the money.

Google has a Gemini Problem, and Chamath has a plan to fix it 📈 On E225, the besties discussed how Google can cut ChatGPT's lead over Gemini without killing its $200B/year search ads business. David Sacks: "I think the problem that Google has with respect to ChatGPT, is Gemini is not getting the usage, and ChatGPT is just growing like crazy." "If you look at how these models perform according to the benchmarks, Gemini is actually really good, but they have not caught up on the usage side." david friedberg: "Chamath, you're the CEO of Google, you've got a $200B run rate search ad business." "What's the right integration of Gemini such that you don't massively disrupt the search ad business overnight?" "Or do you not care and you're just gonna do it? I think that's the conundrum (Google) is dealing with." Chamath Palihapitiya: " The more difficult question is, what does the integration look like?" "They're already inserting Gemini in all kinds of uncomfortable ways." "So for example, if you use Gmail, or if you use Google Workspace, what happens today is all these random Gemini pop-ups come up all over the place." "That is an implementation that happened at way too junior a level by people that have no product taste." "And if you use the products every day, it would be hard for you to disagree with me." David Sacks: " The Google homepage, would you replace that with an AI chatbot?" Chamath Palihapitiya: " No. Here's what I would do: I would first go to the critical other points that are around, that today do not cannibalize the blue links." "If you look at the traffic patterns, almost as a Sankey diagram, the real thing you should be looking at here is where are the entry points into Google that then result in a clickable link." "And what it would show you is that there are certain places that are highly de-optimized today for revenue generating events." "They happen as a byproduct, but they don't happen as the use case." "So in that example, you would put Gmail as a critical place, the Google one subscription, and there's like five or six other places." "That's where I would put Gemini as the front door and start to habituate 300 to 500 million people a week in using that." "I think then you can figure out over time how much money you can make from all of that, or how it directs derivative revenue, and figure out what to do with Google dot com last." "But my point is, the experience in Gmail should be done today." "The experience in YouTube should be done today." "The experience in Google one should be done today."

Google just launched a direct attack on Nvidia's most valuable asset. Not their chips. Their SOFTWARE. And if this works, Nvidia's $4 trillion empire collapses. Here's what just leaked: Google is building "TorchTPU" - a secret project that makes PyTorch seamlessly run on Google's TPU chips instead of Nvidia GPUs. Why does this matter? PyTorch is the MOST USED AI framework on Earth. Every AI developer uses it. And PyTorch was built around Nvidia's CUDA software. Wall Street analysts call CUDA "Nvidia's strongest defensive wall." It's the reason companies can't easily switch away from Nvidia even when alternatives exist. You don't just buy Nvidia chips. You buy into their entire ecosystem. Switching costs MILLIONS in engineering work. Months of rewrites. Performance drops. So companies stay locked in. Even when Nvidia raises prices. Even when supply runs short. That's not a hardware moat. That's a SOFTWARE prison. And Google just found the escape route. Here's the problem Nvidia created for itself: Google's TPU chips are actually GOOD. Competitive performance. Better availability. Lower cost. But developers won't use them because Google's chips run JAX (Google's internal framework), not PyTorch. That means if you want to use Google TPUs, you have to rewrite your entire codebase. Nobody wants to do that. So Google TPUs sit unused while developers fight over Nvidia chips. Until now. TorchTPU makes PyTorch run natively on Google hardware. No rewrites. No performance loss. No months of engineering. You just... switch. And Google is partnering with META (who built PyTorch) to make it happen. They're even considering OPEN-SOURCING parts of it to speed adoption. Translation: Google is willing to give this away for free just to break Nvidia's lock. The implications are insane: Every company currently paying Nvidia's premium prices suddenly has a way out. Oracle, Microsoft, OpenAI - all locked into Nvidia's ecosystem - can switch to Google. Nvidia's pricing power evaporates overnight. And the timing is perfect: Nvidia is already facing heat. Semiconductor index dropped 3% today. Oracle just lost their biggest investor over AI spending concerns. Companies are realizing AI infrastructure costs are unsustainable. Now Google hands them an alternative. Same performance. Lower cost. Better availability. Jensen Huang knows exactly what this means. CUDA has been Nvidia's untouchable advantage for YEARS. It's why Nvidia trades at 50x earnings while AMD trades at 25x. The software moat justified the premium. But if Google removes that switching cost? Nvidia becomes just another chip company. And chip companies compete on price, not ecosystem lock-in. Here's what happens next: Google needs 12-18 months to make TorchTPU production-ready. If it works, cloud providers will adopt it instantly. They WANT an alternative to Nvidia's monopoly pricing. Amazon already building their own Trainium chips. Microsoft making Maia. They're all trying to escape Nvidia. Google just gave them the software bridge. Nvidia's response options are limited: They can't buy Google. Can't kill PyTorch (Meta owns it). Can't stop open source. Their only play is to keep improving CUDA faster than Google can catch up. But that's a race, not a moat. The market isn't pricing this in yet. Nvidia down 2% today. Google down 2%. Investors think this is just "another competitor." They don't understand this is an attack on the FOUNDATION of Nvidia's valuation. Hardware is replaceable. Software lock-in is what made Nvidia worth $4 trillion. Google is attacking the lock-in. Watch what happens in 2026 when TorchTPU goes live and companies realize they can actually leave Nvidia. The "Nvidia is unstoppable" narrative dies. And a $4 trillion valuation built on software moats gets repriced.

Google just quit the AI race on purpose, and it is about to make MORE money than everyone still running it. 4 of the most cited AI researchers alive walked out of Google in a single afternoon. Jeff Dean, the man who built the systems Google runs on, gone after 27 years. Sanjay Ghemawat, his longtime partner, gone. Oriol Vinyals, a Gemini co-lead, gone. Quoc Le, a Google Brain co-founder, gone. That same day, Demis Hassabis stepped back from running DeepMind. Hassabis co-founded the lab, won a Nobel Prize for AlphaFold, and had been the face of Google AI for a decade. The stock dropped 5% within hours. Analysts called it a brain drain. Headlines called it the day Google fell behind. But turns out that's completely wrong, because the numbers underneath tell a completely different story: Google is not trying to win the frontier model race anymore. It looked at where the money is and walked toward it. Gemini, Google's flagship model business, generated about $12 billion in annual revenue last quarter. That is the entire payoff from competing head to head with OpenAI and Anthropic. Now look at the other number. By the end of 2027, Google Cloud is projected to do over $73 billion selling AI infrastructure to other companies, plus another $120 billion selling its TPU chips. That is roughly $200 billion of external sales at high margins, against a $12 billion model business. Google understood that the frontier race is the expensive part while selling the shovels is the profitable part. And the customers buying those shovels include Google's own rivals. Over 20% of Google's TPU shipments for 2026 and 2027 are going to Anthropic, one of the two labs supposedly beating Gemini. Google now makes money every time Anthropic trains a model designed to crush Google's OWN product. Cede the frontier, own the layer underneath it, and collect a toll from everyone racing across the top. The researchers leaving is the symptom of a company that already decided models are not where it wins. Jeff Dean said it himself on the way out. He told the New York Times that leaving a public company gives him room to make decisions "not necessarily in the company's purist financial interests." Read that from Google's side: The people who wanted to chase the science left, because Google is now optimizing for the FINANCIAL interest. Gemini 3.5 Pro is running months behind, with staff blaming low morale. DeepMind's comms, legal, and marketing teams are being folded into Google proper. A former manager told the Guardian the era of DeepMind as an independent lab is over. None of that reads as failure once you see the strategy. Yet Wall Street is pricing this as Google losing. The parallel that should worry the frontier labs: If open weight models keep compressing the price of inference, being the best model stops being a business. It becomes like semiconductor fabrication, strategically vital and financially brutal, a race you win and still lose money running. Google is the first giant to admit that. The company that invented the transformer just handed the frontier to OpenAI and Anthropic, and positioned itself to get paid on every model both of them ship. Those labs will be burning billions to stay one benchmark ahead, and Google will be cashing in hundreds of billions from it. The model business is actually just a race where everyone loses. Apple understood that from the get-go and never joined the race, Google understood it now and left it to OpenAI and Anthropic. Who will go bankrupt first?

Manish Gupta, Senior Director at Google DeepMind India, sits down with Aakrit Vaish and Pratyush Choudhury at Mumbai Tech Week for a rare on-record conversation about the frontier AI research happening out of Bangalore. Gupta makes a pointed case against the narrative that India lacks AI research talent: a team of roughly 75 researchers, a third of them fresh out of college, producing work on par with the best in the world and feeding directly into Gemini. The conversation goes deep on what DeepMind India actually builds, why Gemini is considered the most efficient model on the planet, and what India needs to become a research leader rather than a fast follower. In this conversation, they go deep on: 0:00 Intro: Manish Gupta of DeepMind India at Mumbai Tech Week 1:23 What DeepMind India does, and why it's a "mystery" 1:59 The three roles: languages, efficiency, continual learning 2:19 The Haryanvi demo at Google I/O and the cultural playbook 2:38 Making models efficient: from mobile to servers 3:25 Matryoshka transformers and why nested models win 4:20 Why Gemini is the most efficient model on the planet 5:11 Continual learning: using Gemini to improve Gemini 5:50 Google's India plans: consumers, agents, enterprise, government 7:44 Government officials live-coding with AI Studio and NotebookLM 8:30 The India AI talent debate and how the team is structured 10:25 Why India lacks courage and R&D investment, not talent 11:16 DeepMind's global labs and India's outsized impact 13:15 On-device AI: Gemma 3n and 4n 14:08 The headline: 75 world-class researchers in Bangalore 14:58 25 of the 75 are fresh out of college If you're a founder, builder or researcher thinking about AI, frontier models, or India's place in global AI research, this one's for you.

The "big announcement" just dropped. I just watched Sundar Pichai and Demis Hassabis announce biggest AI infrastructure deal in history. $15 billion to build India's first complete AI hub. Let me break down what Google is building: A massive AI data center in Visakhapatnam (a coastal city in India). Think of it like this: • The compute power of thousands of Google data centers • New underwater internet cables connecting 4 continents • Clean energy plants to power everything • Training programs for 100+ million people All in one place, over 5 years. AI doesn't work without fast internet. Google is laying NEW cables under the ocean: → India to Singapore → India to South Africa → India to Australia → Mumbai to Western Australia Right now, most of the world's internet flows through cables landing in the US, Europe, or China. Google is creating an entirely new route, with India at the center. If you're in Africa, Asia, or South America, your AI tools will get FASTER. Why? Shorter distance = faster data. Instead of your request traveling: Africa → Europe → US → back to Africa It will go: Africa → India → back to Africa that's the infrastructure play everyone's missing. numbers that matter: 💰 $15 billion for the data centers and cables 💰 $30 million to help governments use AI 💰 $30 million for AI research grants 💰 100 million+ people getting free AI training But here's the kicker: Google is plugging AI directly into India's government. • 20 million government workers getting AI tools • Students getting AI tutors for entrance exams • Real-time translation in 70+ languages • Scam detection built into search This isn't "AI for tech companies." This is AI for clerks, teachers, railway staff, police officers, the people who actually run a country. ✅ 20 million+ people used Google's AI detection tool to spot fake images ✅ India is now #3 globally for AI chatbot usage ✅ AI scam detection helping millions avoid fraud daily ✅ 10+ million government workers already on the AI training platform Google is building the pipes that deliver AI to the entire Southern Hemisphere. Different game. Different strategy. If they're right, the next billion AI users won't connect through Silicon Valley. They'll connect through India. 🇮🇳

Google just completely BETRAYED its principles and people. In 2018, 4,000 Google employees signed a letter demanding the company to stop helping the Pentagon use AI for drone strikes. Google listened. They dropped the contract and published a pledge promising they would NEVER use AI for weapons or surveillance. But Google just signed a $200 million deal to put its most powerful AI on the Pentagon's classified networks for "any lawful purpose." And the story behind how they got from Point A to Point B is one of the most calculated corporate betrayals in Silicon Valley history. Here's what happened: The 2018 protest was over Project Maven, a Pentagon program that used Google's AI to identify targets in drone footage. Employees said "Google should not be in the business of war." A dozen engineers quit. Thousands more signed petitions. Google folded and let the contract expire. Then they published their famous AI Principles: 1. No weapons 2. No surveillance 3. No technologies that cause harm Sundar Pichai personally announced them. That pledge lasted exactly as long as the contracts didn't matter. Because here's what Google did quietly over the next 7 years while everyone thought they were the "ethical" AI company: December 2022: Won a share of the Pentagon's $9 billion Joint Warfighting Cloud contract alongside Amazon, Microsoft, and Oracle. 2024: Deployed Gemini to 3 million Pentagon personnel. February 2025: Quietly DELETED the weapons and surveillance language from their AI Principles. No announcement or press conference. April 2026: Signed the classified deal with the Pentagon for "any lawful government purpose." They didn't have a change of heart. They had a change of revenue. And the timing of this deal is where it gets really dark: 600 Google employees, including 20+ directors and VPs from DeepMind, sent a letter to Pichai on Monday begging him not to sign. The letter said the only way to guarantee Google's AI wouldn't be used for lethal autonomous weapons or mass surveillance was to reject classified workloads entirely, because once the technology enters air-gapped military networks, nobody at Google can see what happens to it. But Google literally signed the deal WHILE THE EMPLOYEES SLEPT. One Google AI researcher told Business Insider: "When I went to bed yesterday, I was hopeful that the employee letter would have an effect. This morning I woke up to the worst-case version of the contract being signed." The contract says Google has NO right to control or veto how the government uses its AI. The Pentagon can request Google to adjust its AI safety settings. And the deal covers classified networks where Google employees cannot monitor what's being done with their own technology. They handed over the keys and gave up the right to ask what the car is being used for. Meanwhile Anthropic got BLACKLISTED as a "supply chain risk" for asking for two restrictions: No mass surveillance of Americans and no fully autonomous weapons without a human pressing the button. The Pentagon treated an American company like a foreign adversary for requesting the exact same principles Google publicly pledged in 2018 and then quietly deleted. The math sums up the whole story: Project Maven in 2018 was worth a few million dollars. Google walked away and got applauded for having principles. The classified AI market in 2026 is worth tens of billions. Google deleted the principles and signed the deal at midnight. Palantir took over Project Maven after Google dropped it. That investment grew to $13 billion. Google watched a competitor make billions off the contract they abandoned for ethics and decided that would never happen again. In 2018, principles beat profits. In 2026, profits buried the principles. Google sold their soul for money.

Google just pulled off the biggest theft in the history of AI. And their OWN documents exposed it... Three of the largest publishers on Earth, Hachette, Cengage, and Elsevier, just sued Google in federal court, alongside best-selling author Scott Turow. Their claim is that Google built Gemini, its flagship AI, on millions of copyrighted works it never paid for or licensed. This is one of the biggest copyright cases ever aimed at an AI company: Before they trained Gemini, an internal Google document allegedly spelled out the risk directly. Using this material could expose the company to "$10Bs-$100Bs in potential fines." Google's own people put a number on the theft, in the tens of billions, but the company moved ahead anyway. Then it allegedly tried to DELETE the evidence... The complaint says Google stripped the copyright information off the works before feeding them into Gemini, so nobody could trace what the model had actually been trained on. Pull the fingerprints off first, and the theft gets much harder to prove later. And there's a second betrayal underneath the first: Most of this material was not scraped from some random corner of the internet. Publishers had handed it to Google years earlier for a narrow purpose, to make their catalogs searchable inside Google's own services. The lawsuit says Google took that trust and repurposed the content to build a machine that now competes directly with the people who supplied it. And that machine is the entire point. The complaint describes Gemini producing a full-length substitute for a copyrighted work in about 20 minutes. Something an author spent years writing can now be cloned in an afternoon by the company that trained on the original. No writer or publisher survives that. So why does this case matter more than the dozen other AI copyright fights? Because most of them turn on a fuzzy fair-use question argued years after the fact. This one arrives with an internal document that allegedly SHOWS Google weighed the cost of getting caught and trained on the material anyway. A jury does not need a law degree to read that. The fight now moves toward discovery, where Google's internal emails and training records get dragged into the open. If those files back up what the complaint claims, that $100 billion will turn into a real liability. Google spent years telling the world it was organizing information for everyone. Its own documents show it knew exactly whose information it was taking, and what the price of getting caught would be.

Spirit Airlines stopped flying in May. Second bankruptcy in two years. Yet Google still wants to pay $10Million for the dead body. The planes are gone, the airport slots are sold. One asset left. At the bankruptcy auction, Google opened at 5 million dollars. An AI data company called Mercor countered at 7 and a half million. Then Google closed it at 10 Million. But the bids weren't for the planes or Airport slots. They were for 100 million internal emails. 500 million Teams messages. 30 million lines of code. Employee records that go back to 1986. And no, its not passenger data. This is purely internal: decades of how a real business thought, argued, and made decisions. Why pay that much for a dead company's inbox? Because it's the one thing AI can't fake. The most valuable data in the world right now is just real people thinking out loud… real decisions, real mistakes, real cause and effect. Which is why after the auction closed, another AI company came in with a 12 and a half million offer for it. Here's how you can leverage this kind of data for your business without a bankruptcy auction. People type their real, unfiltered questions into a search bar every single day… for free. And for business owners, those raw questions are a free roadmap: they tell you exactly what to create, what to fix on your site, and what to sell next. Tools like AnswerThePublic mine and present that exact data by looking at the different ways people search for a product. The AI data gold rush is just getting started, follow to not miss out!
