AI salaries are outpacing NBA MVPs. Grok is turning heads, and stirring controversy, as competition among top AI labs heats up.
This week, Mike and Paul unpack OpenAI’s massive update that turns ChatGPT into a full-blown digital assistant, Meta’s $200M+ AI talent raids, and the spiraling drama at Grok. They break down Microsoft’s AI-driven layoffs, AI browser competition, Apple’s quiet AI pivot, and what it really means when superintelligence becomes cheap and everywhere.
