OpenAI’s Sam Altman is doing a full blown AI media tour and taking no prisoners. GPT-5! Humanoid robotics! Smack talk! The next generation of AI is…maybe almost here?
We unpack Altman’s brand-new in-house podcast (and his brother’s), confirm the “likely-this-summer” GPT-5 timeline and reveal why Meta is dangling $100 million signing bonuses at OpenAI staff. Plus: the freshly launched “OpenAI Files” site, Altman’s latest shot at Elon, and what’s real versus propaganda.
Then it’s model-mania: Midjourney Video goes public, ByteDance’s Seedance stuns, Minimax’s Hailuo 02 levels up, and yet Veo 3 still rules supreme. We tour Amazon’s “fewer-humans” future, Geoffrey Hinton’s job-loss warning, Logan Kilpatrick’s “AGI is product first” take, and a rapid-fire Robot Watch: 1X’s world-model paper, Spirit AI’s nimble dancer, and Hexagon’s rollerblade-footed speedster.
THE ROBOTS ARE ON WHEELS. GPT-5 IS AT THE DOOR. IT’S A GOOD SHOW.
