#174: ChatGPT’s Getting More “Adult,” MAICON 2025 Takeaways, AI’s Impact on Talent, Claude Haiku 4.5 & Anthropic’s Feud with the White House
AI isn’t just becoming more capable. It’s becoming more personal. And even more "adult."
This week, Paul and Mike lead off with Sam Altman’s provocative comments about ChatGPT’s role in mental health and the growing debate over our emotional relationships with AI.
Then, from blue-collar workers adopting ChatGPT as a daily tool to tech CEOs warning of an impending jobs shock, the episode explores how AI is quietly reshaping both the labor market and human identity.
They also unpack major industry releases, from Google’s new Veo 3.1 and Anthropic’s Haiku 4.5 to Spotify’s “artist-first” AI music push, revealing the race to define who benefits from intelligent machines. Over and over in this episode, we ask what's becoming a defining question of the AI age:
Who’s in control of the future we’re building?
