AI is reshaping business at unprecedented speed—from a founder using ChatGPT to cure his dog's cancer with custom vaccines to Pokemon Go's pivot into AI mapping infrastructure worth billions. These five wild stories reveal why 2024 is a turning point: Anthropic just did $6B revenue in one month, high school entrepreneurs are building million-dollar companies, and new AI tools are automating complex professional work that once required teams. An Australian entrepreneur used ChatGPT to ideate, then sequenced his dog's tumor DNA, predicted protein structures with AlphaFold, and had a custom vaccine manufactured—proving high-agency individuals can solve previously unsolvable problems by combining AI research tools with regulatory persistence. Anthropic achieved $6 billion in monthly revenue by growing 10x year-over-year, outpacing Snowflake and Databricks' annual revenues in a single month, signaling AI infrastructure companies are reaching unprecedented scale and capital intensity.
