In this episode of 4 Guys Talking About AI, we break down why Samsung’s new deal with Perplexity could be a bigger threat to Google than anyone expected, and how Apple might be scrambling to catch up. This isn’t just a corporate headline; it’s the beginning of a power shift in how we search, browse, and buy.

What we discuss that is shaking up the world:

• Samsung is close to signing Perplexity AI to power Galaxy devices

• Perplexity’s positioning could redefine mobile search and knock Google off default
• Mira Murati’s Thinking Machines Lab lands a cool $2B in seed funding
