Show Notes
In this week's episode, Ryan is taking a deep dive into the hype and reality of OpenAI's latest release. Join us as we dissect the good, the bad, and the just plain weird of GPT-5. The GPT-5 presentation was a letdown, feeling sterile and uninspired despite some impressive demos like coding a visual for Bernoulli's principle.
We explore the general consensus that GPT-5, in its current state, isn't living up to the hype and is even underperforming competitors like Grok.
Listener feedback reveals serious issues, including a detailed account of how GPT-5 struggled with a simple image recognition task and gave hilariously wrong advice.
The episode raises concerns about increased hallucinations, with the host sharing an anecdote about the model giving him incorrect dates and then "knowing" it was wrong.
We touch on other AI news, including the new brain-implant startup from Sam Altman, which puts him in direct competition with Elon Musk and Neuralink.
The overall verdict? Many people, including a listener quoted in the episode, are finding GPT-5 to be a step back, leading to the question: Is AGI cancelled?

What is going on? Layoffs because of AI then WHAM ai isn't actually that good? flip flop flip flop.
Are the data centers actually for LLMs? I have my doubts and our friend @gregisenberg also tells us 30+ observations on the greatest opportunities in AI agents right now. and as always Hedgie gives us some great content
No AI was used in this episode....is that going to be the norm? is AI dying a slow death or accelerating beyond what we can even imagine...or is is all...not real, are the demos real, is the product real, am I real? And what happened to the good ole days oh AI when something was coming out every day that felt life changing? There' s something in the water...but what?
Are LLMs having true issues and why is AI not advancing fast enough…or is it? Ryan discusses why he thinks things are slowing down and why the demos recently are just that…demos, not real life. Take a look at this great video below as well https://youtu.be/wLC7SATDmy8?si=oN2iVr_eDmMGt0uY
