In this episode, Lucas and Luna unpack the economics behind the explosion of free AI tools in 2026. With NVIDIA up 9% in five days and Palantir surging 26.7%, the market is rewarding AI infrastructure, but the consumer-facing layer is a different story. Lucas explains why the real product in free AI is the data you feed it, and how companies like Meta and Google are using your conversations to train their next models. They look at the rising trend of AI-powered customer support, where the cost savings are real but the hidden price is your patience. They also discuss the emerging regulatory push for AI transparency, and how some startups are building privacy-first AI as a differentiator. If you've ever wondered what you're really paying for when you use a free tool, this episode gives you the framework to see it clearly. #FreeAI #AIEconomics #DataPrivacy #AITransparency #NVIDIA #Meta #Google #Palantir #AITools #TechBusiness #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #AIConsumer #DataMonetization #AIRegulation #PrivacyTech Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
