#144: ChatGPT’s New Memory, Shopify CEO’s Leaked “AI First” Memo, Google Cloud Next Releases, o3 and o4-mini Coming Soon & Llama 4’s Rocky Launch

From The Artificial Intelligence Show Paul Roetzer and Mike Kaput

Returning from Google Cloud Next, Paul and Mike are back with some major AI updates. They kick things off with ChatGPT’s new memory feature and unpack what that means for you.

Then it’s onto Shopify’s leaked memo: no new hires until AI proves it can’t do the job. Databox takes that even further by replacing 80% of its support team with a bot, and actually boosts performance.

Plus, Sam Altman gets grilled at TED, Apple’s AI efforts fall flat, and Paul shares what it was like inside the Sphere for Google’s Wizard of Oz AI experience.
