The AI arms race is heating up, and big moves are happening across the industry. Amazon just launched a new AI agents group, OpenAI dropped GPT-4.5, and Google is changing how we search. But that’s just the beginning.

This week, we dive into how AI is transforming everything—from coding startups to therapy sessions. Y Combinator’s latest batch of companies is embracing AI-generated code like never before. Is this the future of software development, or are we heading for a maintenance nightmare?

Meanwhile, new research shows that employees have mixed feelings about AI in the workplace. Some love it, others fear it. So, what does this mean for the future of jobs? And speaking of AI’s role in human life, a controversial study claims ChatGPT might be a better therapist than actual humans. Is AI-powered mental health support a breakthrough or a problem waiting to happen?

We also revisit the wild story of the Google engineer who insisted AI had become sentient. Was he onto something, or was it just wishful thinking?

With so many AI breakthroughs happening at once, it’s hard to keep up—but we’ve got you covered. Tune in for a lively discussion, and let’s talk about where this is all heading in the comments!
