#159: Trump’s AI Action Plan, AI Could Upend the World Economy, GPT-5 Rumors, AI Tech Layoffs, Advice for College Students & First AI for Therapy

What if the U.S. built its future on AI factories? And what if AGI
shows up just in time to run them? Join Paul and Mike as they break
down the White House’s aggressive three-part Action Plan, including
its call to build more data centers and ban “woke” AI. They unpack
what Google's staggering token usage tells us about the pace of AI
development—and how that connects to the rumored, unified GPT-5
model that could reshape everything. Then it’s rapid fire: Nvidia
CEO’s advice for college students, the first AI for therapy, AI’s
impact on tech jobs and more.  Show Notes: Access the show
