Pivot takes a look at Anthropic's surprise Super Bowl offensive against OpenAI, and Scott explains why he thinks they are "the definition of intelligent branding." Also, Kara and Scott unpack Alphabet's blockbuster earnings, and what a potential Clinton testimony in the Epstein case could mean. Then: Disney finally names Bob Iger's successor after years of drama, and The Washington Post slashes a third of its workforce in devastating layoffs. Is this Kara's moment to step in and buy it?
