What happens to Google when AI answers everything? with Google’s Liz Reid

AI can fix healthcare. I'm Henry Blodget, and this week on my show, Solutions, I had a fascinating conversation with Dr. Bob Wachter, author of A Giant Leap: How AI Is Transforming Health Care and What It Means for Our Future. Dr. Wachter was not expecting to be an AI optimist. What convinced him? Follow Solutions with Henry Blodget wherever you get your podcasts to hear more.

This week on Net Worth and Chill, I'm taking you inside my sold-out New York City book tour stop for my brand-new book, Well Endowed. I sat down with the hilarious Heather McMahon for a night of laughs, real money talk, and honest financial truths. We're getting into everything the book covers, from how to actually build wealth, how to protect it, and how to stop leaving money on the table. Whether you've already grabbed your copy of Well Endowed or you're still on the fence, this episode will show you exactly why everyone's talking about it.

LLMs had been in search long before. We had BERT and then we had MUM.

Are BERT and MUM the search GOATs who've been there for 20 years, or are those technologies?

It's access time. What's up, Ellis?

Yo, we're out here. It's Wednesday, isn't it? I don't even remember what day of the week it is half the time.

I don't know either, but LA's gorgeous, and, uh, I am excited to be back on the road again soon. Uh, I was in the same place for about three weeks, and that's been wonderful, but it's, it's calling me. The road's calling me, Ellis.

Well, so where are you going next?

So Tahoe this weekend for some skiing with the family. I've not really skied before, so I'm a little nervous. Uh, and obviously Tahoe had the awful blizzard.

Dude, for real, can you wear some wrist guards for me, my man?

[laughs]

We can't lose those typing hands, though I guess you're dictating a lot these days.

I'm doing baby slopes, and then next week, quick trip to San Francisco, uh, for some AI meetings, some GDC, the big gaming conference, uh, things. You know, I gotta, gotta try to attend as many fancy things as I can. And then South by Southwest the following weekend.

How many contacts are in your phone app, Alex?

[laughs] That's a good question. I should look. Uh-

Can we get a quick look?

[laughs] Does it show you? Does it actually give you the-

Yeah, you have to, like, press on the little left column.

It says 1,437.

I'm not impressed. Do you keep them elsewhere? Do you have a secret golden rolodex?

I do. I have, I have stuff in Signal. I've got stuff elsewhere.

You have a Scoop CRM? Can you vibe code your own Scoop CRM?

That is on my to-do list, and then we're gonna talk about that.

[laughs]

But first, just wanna... If you're gonna happen to be in Austin at South By, uh, I'm doing two things. Uh, one is a panel with our friends at Superhuman, um, uh, at their space at Antoines about taste and curation in the age of AI, why it matters, how I'm thinking about it, uh, for the pod, but also for the newsletter and sources.
