#162: GPT-5’s Messy Launch, Meta’s Troubling AI Child Policies, Demis Hassabis’ AGI Timeline & New Sam Altman / Elon Musk Drama

The aftershocks of GPT-5’s chaotic rollout continue as OpenAI

shifting product strategies. In this episode, Paul Roetzer and Mike
Kaput also explore the fallout from a leaked Meta AI policy
document that raises major ethical concerns, share insights from
Demis Hassabis on the path to AGI, and cover the latest AI power
plays: Sam Altman’s trillion-dollar ambitions, his public feud with
Elon Musk, an xAI leadership shake-up, chip geopolitics, Apple’s
surprising AI comeback, and more. Show Notes: Access the show notes
