This week, Paul and Mike are together again, with 60+-minute podcast episode focused on another wild week in AI. From ChatGPT’s jaw-dropping new image generator and the viral Studio Ghibli craze (and controversy) to Google’s Gemini 2.5 update and the launch of OpenAI Academy—there’s no shortage of major moves. Plus: updates to GPT-4o, the rise of “vibe marketing,” xAI’s acquisition of X, and what it all means for the future of work, creativity, and coding.
