Listen "OpenAI Going Full YOLO | The Cost of Expansion"
Episode Synopsis
OpenAI’s gone full YOLO: agents that work for you, a Sora app that feels like TikTok, an AI browser that wants to replace Chrome, and a new “adult freedom” stance. Juan and Kate dig into the logic, or lack of it, behind OpenAI’s everything-everywhere strategy, and why even its biggest users are starting to push back.
