Is AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) just around the corner, or is it still a ways off? While Gianluca Mauro argues we’re not close, Demis Hassabis is more optimistic, the reality is that even the top minds in AI can’t seem to agree on what’s coming next. Frank and Justin also break down Elon Musk’s latest promises—$30,000 robots and self-driving cars—questioning whether we’re any closer to these breakthroughs than we were when Musk first promised self-driving cars in 2014.Geoffrey H...

The battle over superintelligence is heating up, and not everyone agrees on how to handle it. While some are calling for a 20-year halt on its development to avoid an existential threat, others see that as an impossible goal in a world dominated by geopolitical competition. Frank thinks there’s a chance for global cooperation, but Justin argues it’s pure fantasy with China and the U.S. leading the charge—and Europe tying its hands with heavy AI regulations.As OpenAI pulls in record-break...

The departure of OpenAI’s CTO, Mira Murati, isn’t just a blip—it seems to signal deeper turmoil within one of the most important companies of our time. As Sam Altman continues to dominate the headlines and shape OpenAI’s future, the exits of key figures raise questions about the company’s internal dynamics. Is Altman’s leadership style pushing people out, or is OpenAI’s shift from nonprofit to profit the real cause of this brain drain? Justin and Frank tackle the question: Is OpenAI...

OpenAI’s new o1 model has stirred up plenty of questions—is it really a brand-new model or a reworked version of GPT-4? Justin and Frank explore the model’s capabilities, especially its standout performance in maths, coding, and reasoning, and whether it's worth the hype. While it outperforms humans in highly technical tasks, how does it hold up for more everyday needs, like marketing? The conversation also turns to the shakeup AI is causing in the SaaS world, with Klarna leading the cha...

AI tools are transforming businesses, but are they worth a $2,000 price tag? Frank and Justin tackle this hot topic, reacting to rumours of OpenAI's upcoming "Strawberry" model, which could cost enterprises that much each month. While Justin doubts the legitimacy of such pricing, Frank argues it would only be justifiable if the AI tools could operate autonomously and with absolute trust. Their debate digs into whether such advancements are a good investment or just hype. Beyond that, the...

Is AI really in a 'Trough of Disillusionment,' or are we jumping to conclusions too soon? Frank and Justin take a close look at Gartner's claim that AI has peaked and that users are now sliding into disillusionment. With the rapid advances in AI, it seems premature to be disillusioned, but moving beyond the hype might usher in a phase of more focused and productive use cases.You’ll also hear Justin’s sharp critique of a study that claims 80% of AI projects are failing, alongside a discus...
