TBPN covers the seismic shift of YouTube creators breaking through to Hollywood box office dominance — Backrooms ($115M), Obsession ($104M), and Iron Lung ($51M) — proving that full-stack creators with real artistic vision outperform the old studio gatekeeper model. The episode also covers Bernie Sanders proposing a 50% AI stock tax to create a sovereign wealth fund, Salesforce crushing Q1 with $11.13B revenue and $1B+ Agent Force ARR, Anthropic's IPO filing, prediction market dynamics with New York Times journalist Adam Iscoe, Mike Schroepfer's $250M "atoms" thesis at Gigascale Capital, and three AI startups showing how the technology creates dignity of work rather than unemployment.
