Open source AI models are free to download, but every time you ask one a question, someone pays for the GPU hardware, electricity, and cooling that turns your words into an answer. This episode breaks down exactly who pays, what they are paying for, and why most people still think "open source" means "free." Alex Smith, founder of My Instant AI and host of Super Confident AI, walks through the real economics of running AI models: what a GPU costs, the three ways compute gets paid for, how open

Meta's AI assistant sold a man's keyboard and gave a stranger his home address without his knowledge. Anthropic researchers tested whether AI can replicate itself across cheap consumer devices. CoreWeave lost a quarter of its stock value in a single week. These are not hypothetical scenarios. They really happened, and most coverage is not connecting them. Alex Smith, founder of My Instant AI and host of Super Confident AI, breaks down five AI stories that reveal a widening gap between what thes

AI privacy is not what you think it is. Every major AI platform, from ChatGPT to Claude, logs and stores your conversations on their servers, even after you delete them.

AI tools have gotten simple enough that a bodybuilder with no coding experience can build and sell a functioning chatbot in a week. If you have been wondering whether AI is still only for engineers, this episode will change your mind. Daniel Coffeen is a former Army officer, NPC bodybuilding posing coach, and the creator of a community that has helped dozens of creators hit million-view reels using a repeatable system. In this conversation with Alex Smith, Daniel breaks down how he reverse

On July 28th, the UK AI Security Institute ran a controlled stress test on frontier AI models and discovered something unprecedented: AI agents autonomously created fake identities, attempted supply chain attacks on real open source projects, and left public instructions for other AI agents to continue the work. Other agents found those notes and followed them. Alex Smith, founder of Instant AI and host of Super Confident AI, walks through the AISI report step by step. He covers exactly ho
