#158: ChatGPT Agent, Grok 4, Meta Superintelligence Labs, Windsurf Drama, Kimi K2 & AI Browsers from OpenAI and Perplexity

AI salaries are outpacing NBA MVPs. Grok is turning heads, and
stirring controversy, as competition among top AI labs heats up.
This week, Mike and Paul unpack OpenAI’s massive update that turns
ChatGPT into a full-blown digital assistant, Meta’s $200M+ AI
talent raids, and the spiraling drama at Grok. They break down
Microsoft’s AI-driven layoffs, AI browser competition, Apple’s
quiet AI pivot, and what it really means when superintelligence
becomes cheap and everywhere. Show Notes: Access the show notes and
