Summary
275 million records stolen, 9,000 institutions hit during finals week. Ashton Schultz joins Jason on the Weekly Blitz to unpack the Canvas data breach, Anthropic's surprise compute deal with Elon's Colossus data center, and why Microsoft Copilot is the most pragmatic AI tool for locked-down enterprise environments. Ashton, a 19-year tech distribution veteran and founder of Spicy Brain Speaks, also breaks down how AI note-takers like Plaud are removing administrative friction for ADHD professionals in sales. Key topics covered: The Canvas / Instructure data breach: 275M records, 9,000 institutions, finals week timing Why Purdue avoided the breach and what Carmel schools still aren't teaching about AI The Anthropic-xAI Colossus compute deal and Anthropic's 80x revenue growth Why Microsoft Copilot grounded in M365 data outperforms its public reputation Browser-use AI agents and where Facebook's guardrails kill the use case Plaud AI note-takers, transparency in meeting recording, and trust collapse risk If you don't know how to code, AI helps you. If you do, it's a multiplier. The same applies to AI in your workflow: stop overthinking the use case and start with what you hate doing most.
