OpenAI has officially declared a "Code Red," reportedly delaying future product launches to frantically shore up ChatGPT against a resurgent Google. This defensive pivot comes just as Google unveils Gemini 3 Deep Think and Workspace Studio, powerful new tools that allow users to build autonomous agents without writing a single line of code.
On this week’s episode, Paul and Mike analyze this shift in power and explore the industry's quiet preparation for "recursive self-improvement," a near-future where AI models evolve without human intervention. They also discuss the backlash over OpenAI’s ad tests, major leadership shakeups at Apple, and Anthropic’s race to the public markets.
