Microsoft Brings Anthropic Into Copilot, AI Backlash Grows, and Anthropic Flags Jobs at Risk Microsoft signals Copilot adoption challenges—15 million paid Microsoft 365 Copilot seats versus 450+ million Microsoft 365 commercial seats—by adding Anthropic models via the Frontier program and bringing Anthropic's co-work technology into Copilot, positioning Copilot as "model diverse." The episode also covers Microsoft's new Microsoft 365 E7 bundle at $99/user/month and the risks of bundling amid tighter budgets and antitrust scrutiny. An NBC News poll finds 46% of registered US voters feel negatively about AI (26% positive), with AI rating worse than ICE, raising trust as a key adoption barrier. Anthropic research lists the 10 most AI-exposed jobs (led by programmers, customer service, and data entry) and notes a gap between AI's potential and current usage, with early signs showing up as weaker entry-level job finding rates. Finally, Jensen Huang's $4M bonus and $49.9M pay package are contrasted with his estimated $164B net worth. Hashtag Trending would like to thank Meter for their support in bringing you this podcast.
