Ep. 225: GPT-5.6, ChatGPT Work, Enterprise Agents, AI 2040 & Apple Sues OpenAI

GPT-5.6 landed this week alongside ChatGPT Work and a new wave of voice models but the bigger shift is from a chat to agents that can use your computer, and almost nobody announced it that way. Paul and Mike break it down, then cover enterprise AI agents and why proprietary data is the moat, the AI 2040: Plan A report, Apple's trade-secret suit against OpenAI, Illinois's new AI safety law, the summer AI Safety Index, the Brown cheating scandal, and how China and Russia are stoking the data-center debate.
