Sam Altman AMA + Nate Jones Uncanny Valley

Brian Maucere and Beth Lyons open with carryover news tied to Anthropic’s “Department of War” commentary and the online reaction to Sam Altman’s weekend AMA on X. They discuss the “Quit ChatGPT / Quit OpenAI” chatter and how switching incentives and politics can shape AI platform narratives. Later, the conversation shifts to AI authenticity and editing—using Nate Jones as the jumping-off point—touching on uncanny eye-tracking, disclosure expectations, and audience trust. They wrap with a quick scan of smaller developments (e.g., Copilot “Canvas” leak and model-leak buzz like “ChatGPT-V”).
