the GPT5 one was fun because we had so much to talk about because it wasn't just health. It's also it's the smartest model we've ever launched. It is an incredible coding model. Um it can do a lot of highly agentic things that you may not see as much in chat GPT but are super uh valuable for developers

Representative public comments
The part about AI and military applications was intense! I sometimes use aicarma to stay informed on AI trends, but this was a whole new level.
Solid guest, worth a listen. That said: 1.) The YouTube chapters are all messed up 2.) It's 15 minutes of interesting content amidst an hour of tech bros wholeheartedly agreeing with each other
I really, really enjoy your episodes. So glad this channel came across my home feed a few days ago. 🙌🏾
Kevin Weil's insights on the rapid evolution of AI and the race towards AGI are incredibly thought-provoking.
Really enjoyed the chat with Kevin. Great to get excited again about things, you are right about taking the benefits for granted so quick! Thank you for the video, Ian - United Kingdom ❤
