About this episode

The episode discusses Meta's new AI subscription plans and compares them with competitors while exploring various AI-related news.

We need to discuss Meta’s new subscription plans for Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, and AI. Then we'll compare them with offerings from Google, Claude, ChatGPT, and X. Can Meta justify its AI spending? If not, what possible fallback strategies can they lean on? We also explore StarCloud’s planned orbital data center, Cognition’s funding round, a new agentic coding benchmark, Pope Leo’s AI manifesto, and Snowflake’s post-earnings stock jump. ------ 🌌 LIMITLESS HQ ⬇️ NEWSLETTER: https://limitlessft.substack.com/ FOLLOW ON X: https://x.com/LimitlessFT SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/5oV29YUL8AzzwXkxEXlRMQ APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/limitless-podcast/id1813210890 RSS FEED: https://limitlessft.substack.com/ ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Meta’s New AI Subscriptions 2:51 Comparing Subscription Tiers 9:23 Meta’s Revenue Pressure 10:30 SpaceX Goes Orbital AI 13:42 Cognition's Big Raise 15:37 The AI Pope 18:37 New Benchmarks, New Winners 20:30 Snowflake’s SaaS Comeback ------ RESOURCES Josh: https://x.com/JoshKale Ejaaz: https://x.com/cryptopunk7213 ------ Not financial or tax advice.
