#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 Timestamps: 00:03:38 — ChatGPT Memory 00:13:59 — Shopify CEO’s Leaked “AI First” Memo 00:20:20 — Databox Replaces 80% of Support Team with AI 00:28:25 — Google Cloud Next ‘25 and Google Updates 00:36:44 — OpenAI Will Release o3 and o4-mini After All 00:41:07 — Sam Altman Comments at TED 00:50:15 — OpenAI Pioneers Program 00:53:00 — OpenAI Reduces Model Safety Testing Time 00:57:07 — Llama 4 Release and Controversy 01:00:45 — AI Copyright and Creator Rights 01:05:52 — Anthropic $200 Per Month Subscription 01:08:43 — Behind the Scenes of Apple’s AI Failures 01:12:26 — Writer Releases AI HQ 01:16:07 — Ex-OpenAI CTO’s Startup Making Big Moves 01:20:29 — Deep Research’s Impact on Agencies 01:25:41 — Listener Questions Visit our website Receive our weekly newsletter Join our community: Slack LinkedIn Twitter Instagram Facebook Looking for content and resources?
