Summary
In this episode, we discuss Google quietly updating Search settings to use user images, audio, and video to train its generative AI models, and how to opt out via the new Search Services History and Save Media controls. We also cover Reddit deploying large language models to fight AI-generated spam at scale, Amazon closing Mechanical Turk to new customers as synthetic data and AI-assisted labeling take over, and Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch revealing that roughly half of the platform's six million daily deployments are now triggered by coding agents. Along the way, we dig into the strategic tension between closed AI stacks from frontier labs and neutral infrastructure layers like Vercel's Eve framework and Sandbox, plus what agentic development means for developers, model portability, and the future of human-in-the-loop data. https://www.aiconvocast.com Help support the podcast by using our affiliate links: Eleven Labs: https://try.elevenlabs.io/ibl30sgkibkv Disclaimer: This podcast is an independent production and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google, Reddit, Amazon, AWS, Vercel, OpenAI, Anthropic, or any other entities mentioned unless explicitly stated.
