ChatGPT Agent Surprise, Coding Agent Fail, and Elon’s Latest Stunts: The AI Argument EP66

The AI Argument

OpenAI just dropped a model that can plan a wedding trip, pick the perfect gift, and shop for shoes for you. The Agent update lets ChatGPT take a single instruction, break it into subtasks, and go off to handle all the details.
They called it their most powerful model yet. So why did the launch feel so muted?
Justin has theories.
And there were plenty of other big topics to cover - Justin asks whether small AI systems hooked up to real-world labs create bigger risks than giant language models but slip past EU regulations?
We also look at Perplexity’s move into AI-powered browsing, ask why coding agents sometimes make developers slower instead of faster, and then, of course, there’s Elon Musk.
What has Elon been up to? Turned Tesla’s latest expansion into a drawing of a you-know-what, turned Grok into an anime burlesque dancer (to put it politely) and still managed to land a massive DoD contract.
Here’s the full set of questions we tackled:
03:24 OpenAI's Agent model drop... why so quiet?
11:19 Can small AI slip past EU regulators?
16:14 Which secret model did OpenAI test here?
19:01 Should you trust AI with your credit card?
21:46 Perplexity's AI browser, game-changer or gimmick?
24:02 Do coding agents actually make you slower?
27:12 What fresh madness has Elon cooked up now?
