AI vs Google Search....behind the scenes
AI search is fundamentally changing how people find information online, but it's also creating a Wild West of spam, manipulation, and brand impersonation. SEO expert Mark Williams-Cook joins us to discuss why he calls AI a "leaky bucket," how expired domains are gaming LLMs, and what the death of the link graph means for the future of search. We'll explore practical strategies for making your site visible to AI, the risks brands face from AI phishing, and whether SEO is truly dead or just evolving. Perfect for anyone who owns a website or runs a business.Subscribe to The Neuron newsletter: https://theneuron.aiGuest: Mark Williams-Cook - Director at Candour, Founder of AlsoAskedFind Mark on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markseo Search with Candour podcast: https://withcandour.co.uk/podcastÂ

AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)
Everyone's talking about the AI datacenter boom right now. Billion dollar deals here, hundred billion dollar deals there. Well, why do data centers matter? It turns out, AI inference (actually calling the AI and running it) is the hidden bottleneck slowing down every AI application you use (and new stuff yet to be released). In this episode, Kwasi Ankomah from SambaNova Systems explains why running AI models efficiently matters more than you think, how their revolutionary chip architecture delivers 700+ tokens per second, and why AI agents are about to make this problem 10x worse.💡 This episode is sponsored by Gladia's Solaria - the speech-to-text API built for real-world voice AI. With sub-270ms latency, 100+ languages supported, and 94% accuracy even in noisy environments, it's the backbone powering voice agents that actually work.

First 48 Hours With Sora 2: The Good, The Bizarre, and Sam Altman
In this special hands-on episode, Corey Noles and Grant Harvey dive into OpenAI's Sora 2 - the AI video platform that's part TikTok, part meme generator, and 100% chaos. Watch as they navigate the new social media-style interface, create ridiculous videos featuring Sam Altman at a Berlin techno rave filled with clowns, and discover why Sam has become the "Tom from MySpace" of AI-generated content.The hosts explore Sora 2's key features including the viral "cameo" system that lets you loan your likeness to other creators, the remix functionality, and the surprisingly robust prompt editing capabilities. They demonstrate the platform's strengths (incredibly fast generation, social features, creative possibilities) and weaknesses (no timeline editor for scrubbing through footage, occasional voice mismatches, server delays during peak times).Key takeaways include practical prompting tips for better results, how to set up and optimize your cameo preferences, and why being descriptive in your prompts makes all the difference. Grant and Corey also discuss the broader implications: Is this OpenAI's answer to TikTok? How does this fit into the AI landscape where every major player now has a social platform? And most importantly - why is everyone making Sam Altman breakdance?Whether you're AI-curious or a seasoned prompt engineer, you'll learn how to navigate Sora 2's interface, avoid common pitfalls, and maybe even create your own viral AI video. Plus, find out why Corey's "realistic physique was not okay on Sora" and had to optimize his cameo settings with ChatGPT's help.➤ CHAPTERSTimecode - Chapter Title0:00 - Introduction: What is Sora 21:03 - Sam Altman is the Tom from MySpace of AI1:57 - Mobile App Tour & Social Features3:42 - Remix Feature: Editing Sam's Bedtime4:12 - The Secret to Better Prompting6:40 - Profile Features & Your Drafts8:44 - Understanding Cameos10:40 - How to Set Up Your Cameo13:00 - Optimizing Cameo Preferences with ChatGPT15:05 - Live Demo of Creating A Video18:25 - Using the Edit Feature20:09 - First Video Results23:32 - Fixing a Bad Video26:49 - Finding & Following People30:33 - Exploring Trending Videos32:50 - Why OpenAI Built a Social Platform35:34 - Training Data Implications38:00 - Voice Input and Pro Prompting Tips40:02 - The First AI-Native Social Media45:43 - Final ThoughtResources: - Sora 2 launch: https://openai.com/index/sora-2/- Download the app https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sora-by-openai/id6744034028- Sora app on the web: https://sora.chatgpt.com/exploreP.S: First comment gets an invite code.

How OpenAI Beat Every Human Team at the World's Hardest Coding Competition
In this episode, we're joined by Ahmed El-Kishky, research lead at OpenAI, to discuss their historic victory at the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) where their AI system solved all 12 problems, beating every human team in the world finals. We dive into how they combined GPT-5 with experimental reasoning models, the dramatic last-minute solve, and what this means for the future of programming and AI-assisted science. Ahmed shares behind-the-scenes stories from Azerbaijan, explains how AI learns to test its own code, and discusses OpenAI's path from this win to automating scientific discovery over months and years.Subscribe to The Neuron: https://theneuron.aiWisprFlow: https://wisprflow.ai/neuronOpenAI: https://openai.com
