Danni went to New Zealand for a week and the AI world lost its mind. Pete catches her up on the news that matters – starting with Anthropic’s “Mythos,” a model so powerful they refused to release it publicly after it uncovered up to a million vulnerabilities in major software in a matter of days (cue Jurassic Park: “scientists were so obsessed with whether they could, they never stopped to think if they should”).
Then the conversation shifts closer to home: Perplexity is now letting US consumers plug their bank accounts, stocks and health data into their own Bloomberg-style dashboards, and OpenAI just quietly acquired Hero – an AI financial planning startup.
Pete and Danni unpack what it means when the world’s biggest AI companies start muscling into personal financial management, why regulation is the only real moat Australian advice has left, and the uncomfortable question every practice owner needs to answer: if your service is purely digital, what exactly are clients paying you for?
