Bourbon with Brad

AI surged again in the last 24 hours, with Google rolling out Gemini 2.0 Flash across Workspace, Anthropic pushing a major Claude 3.7 Vision upgrade (and yes—Claude still analyzes images, it doesn’t create them), Apple locking in its new “Apple Intelligence” features for iOS 20 ahead of WWDC, Amazon launching Bedrock Agents for enterprise automation, Stability AI dropping a huge quality jump with Stable Diffusion 4.1, Hugging Face unveiling a $200M open‑source compute fund, and Nvidia beginning shipments of its next‑gen Blackwell GPUs. On the crypto side, Bitcoin ETF inflows surged again, the Senate gears up for the CLARITY Act showdown, and DeFi teams scramble to harden security after last week’s exploit wave.

This week, Brad and the crew crack open one of the oldest bourbons in America - Chicken Cock - and the puns take on a life of their own. Between sips and laughter, the show kicks off a sharp, no‑nonsense breakdown of the six major AI platforms - ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, Gemini, Meta AI, and Grok - digging into their real‑world strengths, weaknesses, popularity, and costs. The conversation also dives into Invideo and the rise of AI‑generated video tools, exploring how creators are using them to level up their content. It’s bourbon, banter, and brutally honest tech talk, exactly how Bourbon with Brad does it.
