OpenAI just raised an astounding $40B to build AGI—and it might not be as far off as you think. In this episode, Paul and Mike break down new predictions about AGI, why DeepMind and Google are bracing for impact, and how Amazon is quietly stepping into the AI agent arms race. Plus: OpenAI’s going “open,” Claude launches a full-on AI education push, debate on whether AI can pass the Turing Test, and Runway raises $300M to rewrite Hollywood norms.
