OpenAI's GPT-5 is coming soon and it is…good?. Mystery models have been testing on various platforms that may show us the future of OpenAI's newest AI & the future of the space. Sam Altman's company has been ramping up the hype machine entering next week when most expect GPT-5's release (as well as a new possible Google model). Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg is talking up Meta's personal Super Intelligence plans. Also, Runway's Aleph & Ideogram's Character mode give us more AI video tools while new emergent behavior lets you prompt Google's VEO 3 in amazing ways. And a very *spooky* new Robot Watch where we foreshadow our impending doom!

What happens when politicians threaten to cut funding from accounting standard-setters unless they eliminate specific rules? Blake and David explore unprecedented political interference in FASB and PCAOB operations, plus the IRS facing a 23% budget cut despite Trump's push for more customer service staff. They unpack Sam Altman's warning about AI breaking voice authentication at major banks, why accounting degrees deliver 261% ROI (fourth-best among all majors), and how $28.7 billion in private equity money is reshaping CPA firms. Plus, the economic reality behind Stephen Colbert's show cancellation, Bitcoin's institutional takeover, and how tariff uncertainty is creating impossible planning conditions for businesses.SponsorsHuman at Scale - http://accountingpodcast.promo/humanKeeper - http://accountingpodcast.promo/keeperMissive - http://accountingpodcast.promo/missiveCloud Accountant Staffing - http://accountingpodcast.promo/casChapters(00:41) - The Decline of Late Night TV (03:02) - The Shift to Digital Media (13:51) - AI in Accounting Firms (16:46) - PCOB Leadership Changes (20:06) - Legislation to Eliminate PCOB (21:06) - FASB Funding Threats (24:54) - IRS Budget Cuts (31:56) - Deloitte's Audit Investigation (32:55) - Uncovering Glencore Energy's Bribery Scandal (34:19) - The ROI of an Accounting Degree (38:01) - Private Equity's Surge in Accounting Firms (54:46) - The Immigration Debate and Economic Consequences (01:00:57) - Alternative Pathways in Accounting: Alaska's New Law (01:01:48) - Conclusion Final Thoughts  Show NotesCBS is ending 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' next year | CNN Business https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/17/media/cbs-cancels-stephen-colbertStephen Colbert's 'Late Show' run will come to an end next year as CBS cancels franchise https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/tv/stephen-colbert-late-show-end-cbs-rcna219499Inside CBS' 'agonizing decision' to cancel Colbert's top-rated late-night show | CNN Business https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/18/media/colbert-cbs-late-show-cancel-paramount-trumpSEC.gov | SEC Announces George Botic to Serve as Acting Chair of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Boardhttps://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2025-100-sec-announces-george-botic-serve-acting-chair-public-company-accounting-oversight-boardGeorge Botic Takes Over as Acting Chief of the PCAOB - CPA Practice Advisor https://www.cpapracticeadvisor.com/2025/07/22/george-botic-takes-over-as-acting-chief-of-the-pcaob/165364/SEC names George Botic as acting chair of PCAOB | Accounting Today https://www.accountingtoday.com/news/sec-names-george-botic-as-acting-chair-of-pcaobHouse Republicans propose to withhold funds from FASB unless income tax reporting standard is withdrawn | Accounting Todayhttps://www.accountingtoday.com/news/house-republicans-propose-to-withhold-funds-from-fasbGOP Threatens Accounting Board Funding Over Tax Disclosure Rules https://news.bloombergtax.com/financial-accounting/gop-threatens-accounting-board-funding-over-tax-disclosure-rulesAmericans Want to Know Which Corporations Aren't Paying Taxes, but House Republicans Want to Keep this Information Secrethttps://itep.org/corporate-tax-avoidance-house-republicans-spending-bill/Trump wants to reverse the staffing cuts he's overseen for IRS customer service.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1106: Today we're looking at a U.S.-EU trade deal that gives European automakers some relief, Toyota's ambitious product roadmap with EVs and freshened favorites, and why Sam Altman says your ChatGPT chats aren't nearly as private as you think.Show Notes with links:European automakers got a breather as the U.S. and EU struck a long-awaited trade deal, dialing back tariff threats that had been weighing on the industry.The U.S. will apply a 15% tariff on EU goods, easing pressure from the previously targeted 25%.Stocks of German automakers like BMW, Mercedes, and Volkswagen initially surged on the news.Barclays analysts note the 15% rate is six times higher than pre-Trump levels.The EU may cut its 10% tariff on U.S. imports, benefiting BMW and Mercedes, which export U.S.-built models back to Europe.BMW and VW are also hoping for additional relief tied to U.S. investments.Barclays: “Logging in 15% tariffs as a run-rate will still represent a year-on-year headwind in 2026 versus 2025.”Toyota's next four years will be packed with new EVs, freshened best-sellers, and a surprising push to keep sedans relevant.The Highlander will go all-electric in 2025, following the new Grand Highlander.A three-row electric crossover (bZ5X) will launch from Kentucky late 2025.RAV4 redesign moves up to 2025 with new platform, safety, and infotainment upgrades.Toyota continues investing in sedans — Corolla freshens in 2025, Camry will be redesigned in 2028.A Compact Corolla-based pickup in development is set to rival Ford Maverick, expected in 2027.Akio Toyoda's GR Supra may end production in 2026, though emotions could keep it alive.Millions are sharing deeply personal issues with AI, but a surprising admission from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has lawyers — and plenty of everyday users — buzzing. He admitted last week that ChatGPT conversations don't carry the same confidentiality as talks with a lawyer, doctor, or therapist, raising big questions about privacy in the AI age.Altman: “We should have the same concept of privacy for your conversations with AI that we do with a therapist or whatever — and we haven't figured that out yet.”Legal experts warn that without privilege, user data could be subpoenaed if OpenAI stores it.OpenAI notes that with chat history off — especially on paid plans — data isn't saved or used for training.Enterprise-level ChatGPT offers encryption and compliance, but the free and Plus versions lack those safeguards.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:43 Upcoming ASOTU Edge Webinar with CarRx2:20 US Trade Deal With EU Is 15% Tariffs4:30 Toyota's 4 Year Roadmap7:42 ChatGPT Doesn't Provide Legal ConfidentialJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Story of the Week (DR): Astronomer HR chief Kristin Cabot resigns following Coldplay ‘kiss cam' incident MMAstronomer's human resources chief Kristin Cabot has resigned from the company following an affair that was caught on camera at a Coldplay concert.The intimate moment between Cabot and CEO Andy Byron went viral on the internet after the two hid when Coldplay's lead singer called them out during the concert.Both Byron and Chabot have now resigned from Astronomer and have been removed from the company's leadership team webpage.They did it! Zero women! 10 execs/ 5 directorsTrump's order to block 'woke' AI in government encourages tech giants to censor their chatbotsTech companies looking to sell their artificial intelligence technology to the federal government must now contend with a new regulatory hurdle: prove their chatbots aren't “woke.”President Donald Trump's sweeping new plan to counter China in achieving “global dominance” in AI promises to cut regulations and cement American values into the AI tools increasingly used at work and home. But one of Trump's three AI executive orders signed Wednesday — the one “preventing woke AI in the federal government” — marks the first time the U.S. government has explicitly tried to shape the ideological behavior of AI.The move also pushes the tech industry to abandon years of work to combat the pervasive forms of racial and gender bias that studies and real-world examples have shown to be baked into AI systems.OpenAI's Sam Altman warns of AI voice fraud crisis in bankingOpenAI CEO Sam Altman warned the financial industry of a “significant impending fraud crisis” because of the ability of artificial intelligence tools to impersonate a person's voice to bypass security checks and move money.“A thing that terrifies me is apparently there are still some financial institutions that will accept the voiceprint as authentication,” Altman said. “That is a crazy thing to still be doing. AI has fully defeated that.”Uber will let women drivers and riders request to avoid being paired with men starting next month Goodliest of the Week (MM/DR): DR: Top U.N. Court Says Countries Must Act on Climate ChangeThe International Court of Justice, the United Nations' top court, issued an advisory opinion Wednesday that found all nations must tackle climate change and those that do not act could be obliged to pay reparations for the harm caused to the environment.The ruling was the result of years of efforts by activists and small island nations. The case was first initiated by Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change, a group of young Pacific Islanders facing the existential threat of rising sea levels, and led by the island nation of Vanuatu.MM: Glass Lewis sues Texas over new ESG and DEI limits on proxy advisersGlass Lewis is my new heroISS too Assholiest of the Week (MM): FCC approves $8 billion Paramount-Skydance mergerParamount agrees to pay $16 million to settle Trump's CBS lawsuitSuit was filed because Trump didn't like the editing on a Kamala interviewSenators Investigate Whether David Ellison Cut Side Deal With Trump After $16 Million Paramount SettlementSam Altman and the “you should be worried about the thing I built” manbaby tech bro ethosSam Altman is terrified about a coming AI fraud crisisSam Altman is worried some young people have an 'emotional over-reliance' on ChatGPT when making decisionsTrump's ‘anti-woke AI' order could reshape how US tech companies train their modelsWhen running AI giant OpenAI becomes too overwhelming Sam Altman turns to pen and paper—it's a habit shared by Bill Gates and Richard BransonMicrosoft's Satya Nadella says job cuts have been 'weighing heavily' on him DRSatya Nadella on the ‘enigma of success' in the age of AI: a thriving business, but 15,000+ layoffs“Before anything else, I want to speak to what's been weighing heavily on me, and what I know many of you are thinking about: the recent job eliminations. These decisions are among the most difficult we have to make. They affect people we've worked alongside, learned from, and shared countless moments with—our colleagues, teammates, and friends. I want to express my sincere gratitude to those who have left.”“I also want to acknowledge the uncertainty and seeming incongruence of the times we're in. By every objective measure, Microsoft is thriving—our market performance, strategic positioning, and growth all point up and to the right.”And yet, at the same time, we've undergone layoffs. This is the enigma of success…DistractionsElon Musk's Tesla Is Now the Most Hated Electric Vehicle MakerElon Musk Tells Tesla Investors to Focus on a Future Filled With RobotsElon Musk Warns That Tesla Board Could Fire Him "If I Go Crazy"EpsteinTrump's order to make chatbots anti-woke is unconstitutional, senator saysMeme stocksBeyond Meat?

DR: Satya Nadella's bullshit (More than 15,000 positions—about 7% of the company's global workforce—have been eliminated since January; $79M 2024 pay/408:1 CEO pay ratio):“By every objective measure, Microsoft is thriving—our market performance, strategic positioning, and growth all point up and to the right” he wrote, noting the company's capital expenditures, largely fueled by investments in AI and cloud infrastructure, are at historic highs. Despite these investments, he said headcount “is relatively unchanged,” given the simultaneous reduction of jobs.Nadella called this tension the “enigma of success in an industry that has no franchise value,” arguing that success in tech is not permanent or evenly distributed. “Progress isn't linear. It's dynamic, sometimes dissonant, and always demanding. But it's also a new opportunity for us to shape, lead through, and have greater impact than ever before.”Expressing gratitude to those let go, Nadella acknowledged the human cost. “Their contributions have shaped who we are as a company, helping build the foundation we stand on today. And for that, I am deeply grateful.”MM: People who pay CEOs - The gap between CEO and worker pay keeps increasing—and Trump's policies are making it grow faster - and according to our analysis, directors on the pay committee have zero repercussions for overpaying. 11% of shareholder votes were less than 90% in favor of pay, but greater than 90% in favor of directors who set pay (in 2%, it was less than 75% for pay and greater than 90% for directors) Predictions DR: Satya Nadella divorces his wife and tells her he is “deeply grateful” but this is the “enigma of love”MM: Someone in MAGA realizes that they don't need to look for documents released related to Jeffrey Epstein to find connections between Trump and sex traffickers since he actually hired a former CEO of a sex trafficking ring, Linda MacMahon, to run the Education Department and the whole White House has been WWE-ified

OpenAI's Sam Altman dribbles out GPT-5 teases as the White House's AI Action plan lays out exactly how all-in America is on the future of AI. Plus, SO MUCH AI NEWS. GPT-5 is (we hope?) around the corner and we're getting small snippets like the mysterious new model that's incredible at coding & the AI model that won gold at the International Math Olympics. Plus, Netflix & Disney are both using AI video in some of their new projects, Vine might be coming back as an AI video app & two great new AI audio models. IT'S A NEW DAY. SAME AS THE OLD DAY.

David Waldman is out of here! Almost! Whacha wanna talk about? How about Jeffery Epstein? Other than ”Trump's tiny peen”, the “Epstein files” are the country's most talked about topic. Ghislaine Maxwell is conversant in either subject, of course, but would rather be moving on at this stage.  Donald P.P. Trump says he hasn't “thought about” pardoning Ghislaine and therefore has decided to. That wouldn't quiet much down, as Gops have arranged to keep talking on the subject through the Fall, the DOJ has more than 100,000 pages' of unreleased Epstein materials, Epstein's estate has his 50th birthday book, Rupert Murdoch gets to testify, and Steven KG Bannon has 15 hours of Epstein interviews...  The only way out is for the administration to admit mistakes and defeat… heh, heh. Or they could blame it on AI. How? Well, they'd have to ask AI. Sam Altman tells investors that the first step would be to create an all-powerful AI, the second step would be instant profit and/or annihilation. Just kidding. People don't require something as sophisticated as AI to bamboozle them. You can't fool Jerome Powell. TACO couldn't pull one over on him. There's hope for the future as textbook publishers refuse to go MAGA. Big MAGA dummy Pete Hick-Seth was sharing secret documents, with “SECRET” written right across them, on Signal after all. If you are a Hegseth aide looking to steal a little valor, hurry, your time might be limited. On the other hand, old work buddy Mike Waltz did find himself a new gig as UN ambassador... Mar-a-Lago classified documents witnesses picked up $310,000 tip from the RNC, probably tax-free. Instead of Trump's tiny peen, check out his big, beautiful deal with Japan, although the more you do look at it, the less impressive it becomes.

AI just took a major step forward, and lawyers need to be paying attention. In this episode, I break down the launch of new AI browsers from ChatGPT and Perplexity. These tools are designed to act on your behalf, reading files, scanning emails, analyzing data, and even taking action while running quietly in the background. If that sounds efficient, it also raises serious red flags for anyone who handles sensitive or confidential information. We'll cover: • What agentic AI browsers really do • Why this technology goes beyond typical search • What OpenAI's Sam Altman is saying about the risks • How ABA Model Rule 1.6 applies here • What actions firms should take right now to protect confidentiality This is not about avoiding new technology. It is about using it wisely and protecting your clients in the process.

Well, just like that, AI's winning the Math Olympiad is commonplace. Is Stargate struggling to get off the ground, or is Sam Altman just going to do Stargate on his own without Masa Son? The AI company who's stated mission was to do AI ethically explains why it needs to get its hands dirty. And even if AI isn't making scientific breakthroughs yet, there are early signs it is shaking things up nonetheless.Links:OpenAI and Google outdo the mathletes, but not each other (TechCrunch)SoftBank and OpenAI's $500 Billion AI Project Struggles to Get Off Ground (WSJ)Oracle to Supply OpenAI With 2 Million AI Chips for Data Centers (Bloomberg)Leaked Memo: Anthropic CEO Says the Company Will Pursue Gulf State Investments After All (Wired)AI Comes Up with Bizarre Physics Experiments.

C dans l'air l'invitée du 21 juillet 2025 - Raphaëlle Bacqué, grand reporter au journal Le Monde"L'âge d'or de l'Amérique commence maintenant !", a lancé Donald Trump lors de son investiture, le 20 janvier 2025. Ce jour-là, à ses côtés : les anciens présidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, et la vice-présidente Kamala Harris. Mais ce que l'on retient surtout, c'est la présence d'Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, Sundar Pichai ou encore Sam Altman, figures de proue de la tech américaine. Dans une série de six articles, la journaliste Raphaëlle Bacqué retrace leur ascension fulgurante et leur ralliement progressif à Donald Trump. Certains étaient pourtant de fervents défenseurs des démocrates. En 2021, après l'assaut du Capitole, Meta avait suspendu les comptes de Trump. Quatre ans plus tard, Mark Zuckerberg verse un million de dollars à l'organisation de l'investiture de Donald Trump et s'apprête à l'indemniser à hauteur de 25 millions. Chez Meta, les sujets politiques, religieux ou liés au genre sont désormais tabous. Une dérive autocratique s'observe au sein de l'entreprise.Le virage est général. Jeff Bezos, propriétaire du "Washington Post" depuis 2013, avait lui aussi soutenu Hillary Clinton, puis Joe Biden. Il a depuis obtenu que la rédaction s'abstienne de prendre parti pour la dernière présidentielle américaine. Les affaires priment sur les idéologies. Quant à Elon Musk, hilare au premier rang, il incarne à la fois la démesure et l'audace. Sur X (ex-Twitter), il insulte, modifie les algorithmes au gré de ses humeurs et attaque désormais Donald Trump sur l'affaire Epstein. De meilleur ami à meilleur ennemi, le divorce entre Donald Trump et Elon Musk semble consommé.Comment ces patrons de la tech ont-ils rallié Donald Trump ? Quelle influence exercent-ils sur la vie politique américaine ? Et comment redessinent-ils les rapports de pouvoir ?Raphaëlle Bacqué, grand reporter au journal Le Monde décrypte comment les patrons de la Silicon Valley, de Google à Amazon en passant par Meta, ont choisi de rallier Donald Trump.
