OpenAI is drawing fire after its CFO hinted the company might want a government "backstop" for its massive infrastructure costs. And Microsoft has published a new manifesto pledging to build "humanist superintelligence" that keeps humans in control. This week, Paul and Mike talk about those stories and more, including Google's new paper on the future of AI in learning, new data that shows AI is driving layoffs, and the backlash against Coca-Cola's latest AI-generated holiday ad. This week's episode also covers a feud between Amazon and Perplexity over AI shopping agents, a shocking deposition from Ilya Sutskever about OpenAI's internal power struggles, and much more.
