#144: ChatGPT’s New Memory, Shopify CEO’s Leaked “AI First” Memo, Google Cloud Next Releases, o3 and o4-mini Coming Soon & Llama 4’s Rocky Launch

Returning from Google Cloud Next, Paul and Mike are back with some
major AI updates. They kick things off with ChatGPT’s new memory
feature and unpack what that means for you. Then it’s onto
Shopify’s leaked memo: no new hires until AI proves it can’t do the
job. Databox takes that even further by replacing 80% of its
support team with a bot, and actually boosts performance. Plus, Sam
Altman gets grilled at TED, Apple’s AI efforts fall flat, and Paul
shares what it was like inside the Sphere for Google’s Wizard of Oz
AI experience.  Access the show notes and show links here
