After returning from South America and celebrating his 50th birthday, Product Mind partner Ted Yang joins Oji and Ezinne for a fast-moving conversation on the future of AI and work.

Together, they explore the rise of AI agents, the slow disappearance of traditional productivity interfaces, and why tools like email, PowerPoint, and search may soon operate quietly in the background.

The episode also gets into the wild side of AI right now, from the mystery and hype around models like Mythos to Microsoft Copilot’s identity crisis, facial authentication, government access, and the very real question of who will control the next era of intelligence.

So… AI just leaked.

Join Ezinne and Oji from ProductMind as they break down what happened, why it matters, and what it means for Claude, Mythos, and the future of AI.

AI is no longer just about technology, it’s about who leads, who controls, and what comes next. In this conversation, we break down how geopolitics, leadership decisions, and market pressure are shaping the future of artificial intelligence.

From Anthropic’s tensions with the U.S. military to the strategic moves by OpenAI, Meta, and Microsoft, we explore how power, principles, and competition are redefining the AI landscape.

We also dive into what’s coming next: self-improving systems, long-term memory, and autonomous AI agents, and how these shifts will impact businesses, creators, and the way humans work with machines.

In today's Chop Session the team explores how AI democratizes access to knowledge, enhances peak performance, and transforms work and education.
