That Really Was a Week in Tech: Winner-Take-All AI and the $1 Trillion Selloff","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":2227,"description":"\"I didn't use my own software this week because the OpenAI agents were better. And that's me retiring my own software.\" — Keith Teare\nSomething broke this week. Both Anthropic and OpenAI launched multi-agent systems—\"agent swarms\"—that don't just assist with tasks but replace custom-built software entirely. The market noticed: Adobe, Salesforce, Workday, and other legacy SaaS companies saw their stocks collapse in what some are calling a trillion-dollar selloff. Keith Teare joins Andrew Keen on Super Bowl weekend to unpack what may be the most consequential week in AI since ChatGPT launched.\nThe conversation ranges from the Anthropic-OpenAI advertising spat (Dario Amodei's Super Bowl ad vs. Sam Altman's \"online tantrum\") to the deeper structural shifts: Microsoft and Amazon becoming utilities, Google betting $185 billion on an AI-first pivot, and Elon Musk merging SpaceX with xAI to put data centers in space. Along the way, Teare and Keen debate whether the AI race is a myth or a wacky race, whether venture capital is in crisis, and what happens to human labor when agents do the work.\n\nAbout the Guest\nKeith Teare is a British-American entrepreneur, investor, and technology analyst. He co-founded RealNames Corporation, a pioneering internet company, and later served as Executive Chairman of TechCrunch.
