"This week, as OpenAI completed a long restructuring process that sets it up to be even more valuable, the company has also re-done its deal with Microsoft about when AGI happens, who decides, and what happens next. For years, the creation of AGI has been looked at as sort of a singularity moment; now it feels like it'll just be a Tuesday."
"On this episode of The Vergecast, David and Nilay talk through all of the OpenAI news, with a special focus on what it all means for Digital Jesus. Sorry, I mean AGI. But before they do, the hosts talk about all the other AI news of the week, including all the announcements from Adobe Max, which range from a series of extremely cool and powerful creative tools to a bunch of new slop machines designed to flood social platforms with AI garbage."
"After that, it's OpenAI time. If you haven't read the press release announcing the company's new deal with Microsoft, you're in for a treat. This is almost certainly the most press release we've ever read on The Vergecast, but there's a lot to go through, and a lot of questions about whether anyone actually believes the story. Finally, in the lightning round, we talk about Brendan Carr (who is a dummy), Cybertruck recalls, the mysterious missing Trump Phone, Ghost Posts, and more."
OpenAI completed a long restructuring and reworked its agreement with Microsoft on when AGI occurs, who determines that, and what follows. The framing around AGI shifted from a singularity moment to a routine operational milestone. Adobe Max released both powerful creative AI tools and numerous low-quality generators that may flood social platforms. Meta, YouTube, and other platforms increased emphasis on AI content, affecting the creator economy. The OpenAI-Microsoft press release prompted many questions about credibility. Additional items covered include Brendan Carr's comments, Cybertruck recalls, the missing Trump Phone, and Ghost Posts.
