Gary Marcus claims to just be an AI “realist”. Some would describe the controversial AI sceptic otherwise. But whatever his moniker, Marcus' warnings about AI have been eerily accurate. In fact, 2025 could be described as the year scripted by Gary Marcus in 2024. He warned us about the limitations of LLMs, the bubbly economics of Sam Altman's OpenAI, and the AGI hype. So what does Marcus predict about 2026? Is he really the Cassandra who glimpses the AI future before the rest of Silicon Valley? This is a public episode.

The message reflects on the significance of the Advent season, emphasizing its dual focus: the celebration of Christ's birth and the anticipation of His return to restore and renew creation. ​ It challenges the notion of escaping a broken world, as proposed by cultural figures like Elon Musk and Sam Altman, and critiques the theological idea of fleeing to heaven, instead highlighting the biblical promise of God dwelling with humanity on a renewed Earth. ​ Drawing from Revelation 21, Will Dyer underscores the hope of a future where pain, chaos, and suffering are eradicated, and God's kingdom is fully established on Earth. ​ The message calls for Christians to live as "Advent people," embodying hope, peace, joy, and love through acts of kindness, generosity, and faithfulness, reflecting God's kingdom in their daily lives. ​ The sermon concludes with a prayer for trust in God's promises and a commitment to being agents of His kingdom on Earth. ​

À première vue, on se demande ce qui pourrait bien freiner OpenAI. L'entreprise à l'origine de ChatGPT enchaîne les partenariats prestigieux avec les géants de la tech et séduit désormais bien au-delà de la Silicon Valley. Dernier exemple en date : Disney, qui vient de signer un accord stratégique avec OpenAI. Un partenariat qui permettra à l'outil vidéo Sora d'utiliser des personnages iconiques de la marque, de Mickey Mouse à tout l'univers Disney. Dans la foulée, le groupe américain s'est engagé à investir un milliard de dollars dans le capital d'OpenAI.Une somme impressionnante… mais qui paraît presque dérisoire au regard des finances de l'entreprise dirigée par Sam Altman. Car OpenAI dépense énormément, et même de plus en plus vite. La course à l'intelligence artificielle est devenue un champ de bataille industriel où chaque avancée technologique se paie au prix fort, en puissance de calcul, en infrastructures et en talents. Selon plusieurs estimations relayées par le média Mashable, ce milliard de dollars fraîchement injecté ne suffirait à couvrir que trois à quatre semaines des pertes actuelles d'OpenAI. Une donnée vertigineuse, qui prend encore plus de relief lorsqu'on la compare aux engagements globaux de l'entreprise : cette somme représenterait à peine un millième des dépenses prévues à moyen terme.Autrement dit, OpenAI brûle du cash à un rythme rarement vu dans l'histoire récente de la tech. Au point que certains analystes commencent à évoquer, à voix basse, un scénario longtemps jugé impensable : celui d'une fragilité financière, voire d'une faillite à long terme si le modèle économique ne se stabilise pas. Cette inquiétude intervient dans un contexte moins favorable qu'il n'y paraît. Ces derniers mois, un décrochage technologique a été observé entre ChatGPT et son principal concurrent, Gemini, développé par Google. Avec Gemini 3, le géant californien a repris une position de leader, laissant planer le doute sur la capacité d'OpenAI à conserver son avance initiale. L'histoire de la tech est riche de précédents. Être pionnier ne garantit pas le succès durable. Les plus anciens se souviennent de Netscape, premier navigateur web grand public, rapidement marginalisé par Internet Explorer à la fin des années 1990. Un rappel brutal que, dans ce secteur, l'innovation coûte cher… et que la domination n'est jamais acquise. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s *In-Ear Insights*. This is the last episode of *In-Ear Insights* for 2025. We are out with the old. We’ll be back in January for new episodes the week of January 5th. So, Katie, let’s talk about the year that was and all the crazy things that happened in the year. And so what you’re thinking about, particularly from the perspective of all things AI, all things data and analytics—how was 2025 for you? Katie Robbert: What’s funny about that is I feel like for me personally, not a lot changed. And the reason I feel like I can say that is because a lot of what I focus on is foundational, and it doesn’t really matter what fancy, shiny new technology is happening. So I really try to focus on making sure the things that I do every day can adapt to new technology. And again, of course, that’s probably the most concrete example of that is the 5P framework: Purpose, People, Process, Platform for Performance. It doesn’t matter what the technology is. This is where I’m always going to ground myself in this framework so that if AI comes along or shiny object number 2 comes along, I can adapt because it’s still about primarily, what are we doing? So asking the right questions. The things that did change were I saw more of a need this year, not in general, but just this year, for people to understand how to connect with other people. And not only in a personal sense, but in a professional sense of my team needs to adopt AI or they need to adopt this new technology. I don’t know how to reach them. I don’t know where to start. I don’t know. I’m telling them things. Nothing’s working. And I feel like the technology of today, which is generative AI, is creating more barriers to communication than it is opening up communication channels. And so that’s a lot of where my head has been: how to help people move past those barriers to make sure that they’re still connecting with their teams. And it’s not so much that the technology is just a firewall between people, but it’s the when you start to get into the human emotion of “I’m afraid to use this,” or “I’m hesitant to use this,” or “I’m resistant to use this,” and you have people on two different sides of the conversation—how do you help them meet in the middle? Which is really where I’ve been focused, which, to be fair, is not a new problem: new tech, old problems. But with generative AI, which is no longer a fad—it’s not going away—people are like, “Oh, what do you mean? I actually have to figure this out now.” Okay, so I guess that’s what I mean. That’s where my head has been this year: helping people navigate that particular digital disruption, that tech disruption, versus a different kind of tech disruption. Christopher S. Penn: And if you had to—I know I personally always hate this question—if you had to boil that down to a couple of first principles of the things that are pretty universal from what you’ve had to tell people this year, what would those first principles be? Katie Robbert: Make sure you’re clear on your purpose. What is the problem you’re trying to solve? I think with technology that feels all-consuming, generative AI. We tend to feel like, “Oh, I just have to use it. Everybody else is using it.” Whereas things that have a discrete function. An email server, do I need to use it? Am I sending email? No. So I don’t need an email server. It’s just another piece of technology. We’re not treating generative AI like another piece of technology. We’re treating it like a lifestyle, we’re treating it like a culture, we’re treating it like the backbone of our organization, when really it’s just tech. And so I think it comes down to one: What is the question you’re trying to answer? What is the problem you’re trying to solve? Why do you need to use this in the first place? How is it going to enhance? And two: Are you clear on your goals? Are you clear on your vision? Which relates back to number 1. So those are really the two things that have come up the most: What’s the problem you’re trying to solve by using generative AI? And a lot of times it’s, “I don’t want to fall behind,” which is a valid problem, but it’s not the right problem to solve with generative AI. Christopher S. Penn: I would imagine. Probably part of that has to do with what you see from very credible studies coming out about it. The one that I know we’ve referenced multiple times is the 3-year study from Wharton Business School where, in Year 3 (which is 2025—this came out in October of this year), the line that caught everyone’s attention was at the bottom. Here it says 3 out of 4 leaders see positive returns on Gen AI investments, and 4 out of 5 leaders in enterprises see these investments paying off in a couple of years. And the usage levels. Again, going back to what you were saying about people feeling left behind, within enterprises, 82% using it weekly, 46% using it daily, and 72% formally measuring the ROI on it in some capacity and seeing those good results from it. Katie Robbert: But there’s a lot there that you just said that’s not happening universally. So measuring ROI consistently and in a methodical way, employees actually using these tools in the way that they’re intended, and leadership having a clear vision of what it’s intended to do in terms of productivity. Those are all things that sound good on paper but are not actually happening in real-life practice. We talk with our peers, we talk with our clients, and the chief complaint that we get is, “We have all these resources that we created, but nobody’s using them, nobody’s adopting this,” or, “They’re using generative AI, but not the way that I want them to.” So how do you measure that for efficiency? How do you measure that for productivity? So I look at studies like that and I’m like, “Yeah, that’s more of an idealistic view of everything’s going right, but in the real world, it’s very messy.” Christopher S. Penn: And we know, at least in some capacity, how those are happening. So this comes from Stanford—this was from August—where generative AI is deployed within organizations. We are seeing dramatic headcount reductions, particularly for junior people in their careers, people 22 to 25. And this is a really well-done study because you can see the blue line there is those early career folks, how not just hiring, but overall headcount is diminishing rapidly. And they went on to say, for professions where generative AI really isn’t part of it, like stock clerks, health aides, you do not see those rapid declines. The one that we care about, because our audience is marketing and sales. You can see there’s a substantial reduction in the amount of headcount that firms are carrying in this area. So that productivity increase is coming at the expense of those jobs, those seats. Katie Robbert: Which is interesting because that’s something that we saw immediately with the rollout of generative AI. People are like, “Oh great, this can write blog posts for me. I don’t need my steeple of writers.” But then they’re like, “Oh, it’s writing mediocre, uninteresting blog posts for me, but I’ve already fired all of my writers and none of them want to come back.” So I am going to ask the people who are still here to pick up the slack on that. And then those people are going to burn out and leave. So, yeah, if you look at the chart, statistically, they’re reducing headcount. If you dig into why they’re reducing headcount, it’s not for the right reasons. You have these big leaders, Sam Altman and other people, who are talking about, “We did all these amazing things, and I started this billion-dollar company with one employee. It’s just me.” And everything else is—guess what? That is not the rule. That is the exception. And there’s a lot that they’re not telling you about what’s actually happening behind the scenes. Because that one person who’s managing all the machines is probably not sleeping. They’re probably taking some sort of an upper to stay awake to keep up with whatever the demand is for the company that they’re creating. You want to talk about true hustle culture? That’s it. And it is not something that I would recommend to anyone. It’s not worth it. So when we talk about these companies that are finding productivity, reducing headcount, increasing revenue, what they’re not doing is digging into why that’s happening. And I would guarantee that it’s not on the up and up, but it’s not all the healthy version of that. Christopher S. Penn: Oh, we know that for sure. One of the big work trends this year that came out of Chinese AI Labs, which Silicon Valley is scrambling to impose upon their employees, is the 996 culture: 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week is demanding. Katie Robbert: I was like, “Nope.” I was like, “Why?” You’re never going to get me to buy into that. Christopher S. Penn: Well, I certainly don’t want to either. Although that’s about what I work anyway. But half of my work is fun, so. Katie Robbert: Well, yeah. So let the record show I do not ask Chris to work those hours. That is not a requirement. He is choosing, as a person with his own faculties, to say, “This is what I want to do.” So that is not a mandate on him. Christopher S. Penn: Yes, this is something that the work that I do is also my hobby. But what people forget to take into account is their cultural differences too. So. And there are also macro things that are different that make that even less sustainable in Western cultures than it does in Chinese cultures. But looking back at the year from a technological perspective, one of the things that stunned me was how we forget just how smart these things have gotten in just one year. One of the things that we—there’s an exam that was built in January of this year called Humanity’s Last Exam as a—it’s a very challenging exam. I think I have a sample question. Yeah, here’s 2 sample questions. I don’t even know what these questions mean. So my score on this exam would be a 0 because it’s one doing. Here’s a thermal paracyclic cascade. Provide your answer in this format. Here’s some Hebrew. Identify closed and open syllables. I look at this I can’t even multiple-choice guess this. Sure, I don’t know what it is. At the beginning of the year, the models at the time—OpenAI’s GPT4O, Claude 3 Opus, Google Gemini Pro 2, Deep Seek V3—all scored 5%. They just bombed the exam. Everybody bombed it. I granted they scored 5% more than I would have scored on it, but they basically bombed the exam. In just 12 months, we’ve seen them go from 5% to 26%. So a 5x increase. Gemini going from 6.8% to 37%, which is what—a 5, 6, 7—6x improvement. Claude going from 3% to 28%. So that’s what a 7x improvement. No, 8x improvement. These are huge leaps in intelligence for these models within a single calendar year. Katie Robbert: Sure. But listen, I always say I might be an N of 1. I’m not impressed by that because how often do I need to know the answers to those particular questions that you just shared? In the profession that I am in, specifically, there’s an old saying—I don’t know how old, or maybe it’s whatever—there’s a difference between book smart and street smart. So you’re really talking about IQ versus EQ, and these machines don’t have EQ. It’s not anything that they’re ever going to really be able to master the way that humans do. Now, when you say this, I’m talking about intellectual intelligence and emotional intelligence. And so if you’ve seen any of the sci-fi movies, *Her* or *Ex Machina*, you’re led to believe that these machines are going to simulate humans and be empathetic and sympathetic. We’ve already seen the news stories of people who are getting married to their generative AI system. That’s happening. Yes, I’m not brushing over it, I’m acknowledging it. But in reality, I am not concerned about how smart these machines get in terms of what you can look up in a dictionary or what you can find in an encyclopedia—that’s fine. I’m happy to let these machines do that all day long. It’s going to save me time when I’m trying to understand the last consonant of every word in the Hebrew alphabet since the dawn of time. Sure. Happy to let the machine do that. What these machines don’t know is what I know in my life experience. And so why am I asking that information? What am I going to do with that information? How am I going to interpret that information? How am I going to share that information? Those are the things that the machine is never going to replace me in my role to do. So I say, great, I’m happy to let the machines get as smart as they want to get. It saves me time having to research those things. I was on a train last week, and there were 2 women sitting behind me, and they were talking about generative AI. You can go anywhere and someone talks about generative AI. One of the women was talking about how she had recently hired a research assistant, and she had given her 3 or 4 academic papers and said, “I want to know your thoughts on these.” And so what the research assistant gave back was what generative AI said were the summaries of each of these papers. And so the researcher said, “No, I want to know your thoughts on these research papers.” She’s like, “Well, those are the summaries. That’s what generative AI gave me.” She’s like, “Great, but I need you to read them and do the work.” And so we’ve talked about this in previous episodes. What humans will have over generative AI, should they choose to do so, is critical thinking. And so you can find those episodes of the podcast on our YouTube channel at TrustInsights.ai/YouTube. Find our podcast playlist. And it just struck me that it doesn’t matter what industry you’re in, people are using generative AI to replace their own thinking. And those are the people who are going to be finding themselves to the right and down on those graphs of being replaced. So I’ve sort of gone on a little bit of a rant. Point is, I’m happy to let the machines be smarter than me and know more than me about things in the world. I’m the one who chooses how to use it. I’m the one who has to do the critical thinking. And that’s not going to be replaced. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, that’s. But you have to make that a conscious choice. One of the things that we did see this year, which I find alarming, is the number of people who have outsourced their executive function to machines to say, “Hey, do this way.” There’s. You can go on Twitter, or what was formerly known as Twitter, and literally see people who are supposedly thought leaders in their profession just saying, “Chat GPT told me this. And so you’re wrong.” And I’m like, “In a very literal sense, you have lost your mind.” You have. It’s not just one group of people. When you look at the *Harvard Business Review* use cases—this was from April of this year—the number 1 use case is companionship for these tools. Whether or not we think it’s a good idea. They. And to your point, Katie, they don’t have empathy, they don’t have emotional intelligence, but they emulate it so well now. Oh, they do that. People use it for those things. And that, I think, is when we look back at the year that was, the fact that this is the number 1 use case now for these tools is shocking to me. Katie Robbert: Separately—not when I was on a train—but when I was sitting at a bar having lunch. We. My husband and I were talking to the bartender, and he was like, “Oh, what do you do for a living?” So I told him, and he goes, “I’ve been using ChatGPT a lot. It’s the only one that listens to me.” And it sort of struck me as, “Oh.” And then he started to, it wasn’t a concerning conversation in the sense that he was sort of under the impression that it was a true human. But he was like, “Yeah, I’ll ask it a question.” And the response is, “Hey, that’s a great question. Let me help you.” And even just those small things—it saying, “That’s a really thoughtful question. That’s a great way to think about it.” That kind of positive reinforcement is the danger for people who are not getting that elsewhere. And I’m not a therapist. I’m not looking to fix this. I’m not giving my opinions of what people should and shouldn’t do. I’m observing. What I’m seeing is that these tools, these systems, these pieces of software are being designed to be positive, being designed to say, “Great question, thank you for asking,” or, “I hope you have a great day. I hope this information is really helpful.” And it’s just those little things that are leading people down that road of, “Oh, this—it knows me, it’s listening to me.” And so I understand. I’m fully aware of the dangers of that. Yeah. Christopher S. Penn: And that’s such a big macro question that I don’t think anybody has the answer for: What do you do when the machine is a better human than the humans you’re surrounded by? Katie Robbert: I feel like that’s subjective, but I understand what you’re asking, and I don’t know the answer to that question. But that again goes back to, again, sort of the sci-fi movies of *Her* or *Ex Machina*, which was sort of the premise of those, or the one with Haley Joel Osment, which was really creepy. *Artificial Intelligence*, I think, is what it was called. But anyway. People are seeking connection. As humans, we’re always seeking connection. Here’s the thing, and I don’t want to go too far down the rabbit hole, but a lot of people have been finding connection. So let’s say we go back to pen pals—people they’d never met. So that’s a connection. Those are people they had never met, people they don’t interact with, but they had a connection with someone who was a pen pal. Then you have things like chat rooms. So AOL chat room—A/S/L. We all. If you’re of that generation, what that means. People were finding connections with strangers that they had never met. Then you move from those chat rooms to things like these communities—Discord and Slack and everything—and people are finding connections. This is just another version of that where we’re trying to find connections to other humans. Christopher S. Penn: Yes. Or just finding connections, period. Katie Robbert: That’s what I mean. You’re trying to find a connection to something. Some people rescue animals, and that’s their connection. Some people connect with nature. Other people, they’re connecting with these machines. I’m not passing judgment on that. I think wherever you find connection is where you find connection. The risk is going so far down that you can’t then be in reality in general. I know. *Avatar* just released another version. I remember when that first version of the movie *Avatar* came out, there were a lot of people very upset that they couldn’t live in that reality. And it’s just. Listen, I forgot why we’re doing this podcast because now we’ve gone so far off the rails talking about technology. But I think to your point, what’s happened with generative AI in 2025: It’s getting very smart. It’s getting very good at emulating that human experience, and I don’t think that’s slowing down anytime soon. So we as humans, my caution for people is to find something outside of technology that grounds you so that when you are using it, you can figure out sort of that real from less reality. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah. One of the things—and this is a complete nerd thing—but one of the things that I do, particularly when I’m using local models, is I will keep the console up that shows the computations going as a reminder that the words appearing on the screen are not made by a human; they’re made by a machine. And you can see the machinery working, and it’s kind of knowing how the magic trick is done. You watch go. “Oh, it’s just a token probability machine.” None of what’s appearing on screen is thought through by an organic intelligence. So what are you looking forward to or what do you have your eyes on in 2026 in general for Trust Insights or in particular the field of AI? Katie Robbert: I think now that some of the excitement over Generative AI is wearing off. I think what I’m looking forward to in 2026 for Trust Insights specifically is helping more organizations figure out how AI fits into their overall organization, where there’s real opportunity versus, “Hey, it can write a blog post,” or, “Hey, it can do these couple of things,” and I built a—I built a gem or something—but really helping people integrate it in a thoughtful way versus the short-term thinking kind of way. So I’m very much looking forward to that. I’m seeing more and more need for that, and I think that we are well suited to help people through our courses, through our consulting, through our workshops. We’re ready. We are ready to help people integrate technology into their organization in a thoughtful, sustainable way, so that you’re not going to go, “Hey, we hired these guys and nothing happened.” We will make the magic happen. You just need to let us do it. So I’m very much looking forward to that. I’ve personally been using Generative AI to sort of connect dots in my medical history. So I’m very excited just about the prospect of being able to be more well-informed. When I go into a doctor’s office, I can say, “I’m not a doctor, I’m not a researcher, but I know enough about my own history to say these are all of the things. And when I put them together, this is the picture that I’m getting. Can you help me come to faster conclusions?” I think that is an exciting use of generative AI, obviously under a doctor’s supervision. I’m not a doctor, but I know enough about how to research with it to put pieces together. So I think that there’s a lot of good that’s going to come from it. I think it’s becoming more accessible to people. So I think that those are all positive things. Christopher S. Penn: The thing—if there’s one thing I would recommend that people keep an eye on—is a study or a benchmark from the Center for AI Safety called RLI, Remote Labor Index. And this is a benchmark test where AI models and their agents are given a task that typically a remote worker would do. So, for example, “Here’s a blueprint. Make an architectural rendering from it. Here’s a data set. Make a fancy dashboard, make a video game. Make a 3D rendering of this product from the specifications.” Difficult tasks that the index says the average deliverable costs thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of time. Right now, the state of the art in generative AI—it’s close to—because this was last month’s models, succeeded 2.1% of the time at a max. It was not great. Now, granted, if your business was to lose 2.1% of its billable deliverables, that might be enough to make the difference between a good year and a bad year. But this is the index you watch because with all the other benchmarks, like you said, Katie, they’re measuring book smart. This is measuring: Was the work at a quality level that would be accepted as paid, commissioned work? And what we saw with Humanity’s Last Exam this year is that models went from face-rolling moron, 3% scores, to 25%, 30%, 35% within a year. If this index of, “Hey, I can do quality commissioned work,” goes from 2.1% to 10%, 15%, 20%, that is economic value. That is work that machines are doing that humans might not be. And that also means that is revenue that is going elsewhere. So to me, this is the one thing—if there’s one thing I was going to pay attention to in 2026—it would be watching measures like this that measure real-world things that you would ask a human being to do to see how tools are advancing. Katie Robbert: Right. The tools are going to advance, people are going to want to jump on it. But I feel like when generative AI first hit the market, the analogy that I made is people shopping the big box stores versus people shopping the small businesses that are still doing things in a handmade fashion. There’s room for both. And so I think that you don’t have to necessarily pick one or the other. You can do a bit of both. And I think that for me is the advice that I would give to people moving into 2026: You can use generative AI or not, or use it a little bit, or use it a lot. There’s no hard and fast rule that says you have to do it a certain way. So I think that’s really when clients come to us or we talk about it through our content. That’s really the message that I’m trying to get across is, “Yeah, there’s a lot that you can do with it, but you don’t have to do it that way.” And so that is what I want people to take away. At least for me, moving into 2026, is it’s not going anywhere, but that doesn’t mean you have to buy into it. You don’t have to be all in on it. Just because all of your friends are running ultramarathons doesn’t mean you have to. I will absolutely not be doing that for a variety of reasons. But that’s really what it comes down to: You have to make those choices for yourself. Yes, it’s going to be everywhere. Yes, it’s accessible, but you don’t have to use it. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. And if I were to give people one piece of advice about where to focus their study time in 2026, besides the fundamentals, because the fundamentals aren’t changing. In fact, the fundamentals are more important than ever to get things like prompting and good data right. But the analogy is that AI is sort of the engine—you need the rest of the car. And 2026 is when you’re going to look at things like agentic frameworks and harnesses and all the fancy techno terms for this. You are going to need the rest of the car because that’s where utility comes from. When a generative AI model is great, but a generative AI model connected to your Gmail so you can say which email should I respond to first today is useful. Katie Robbert: Yep. And I support that. That is a way that I will be using. I’ve been playing with that for myself. But what that does is it allows me to focus more on the hands-on homemade small business things. When before I was drowning in my email going, “Where do I start?” Great, let the machine tell me where to start. I’m happy to let AI do that. That’s a choice that I am making as a human who’s going to be critically thinking about all of the rest of the work that I have going on. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly.

A casa conectada deixou de ser coisa do futuro e passou a fazer parte do dia a dia dos brasileiros. TVs, celulares, eletrodomésticos, câmeras, fechaduras e até robôs aspiradores dependem de uma coisa básica para funcionar bem: uma boa conexão Wi-Fi. Neste episódio do Podcast Canaltech, a gente conversa com Carlos Santos, especialista da TP-Link, sobre o papel central do Wi-Fi na casa digital. O papo passa pelos principais gargalos da internet doméstica, como interferências, roteadores antigos e excesso de dispositivos conectados, além de explicar, de forma prática, as diferenças entre Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6 e Wi-Fi 7. A entrevista também aborda como a inteligência artificial já está sendo usada para melhorar a estabilidade das redes, quando o sistema Mesh realmente faz diferença e o que esperar do futuro da conectividade doméstica no Brasil, com cada vez mais dispositivos inteligentes dentro de casa. Você também vai conferir: Google quer transformar suas abas abertas em aplicativos com IA, projeto de Sam Altman cria superapp com chat, carteira e biometria, amazon volta atrás e libera download de livros no Kindle, Gemini usa dados do Google Maps para tornar respostas mais visuais e malware para Android sequestra celular e espia vítima pela câmera.

MSP Cybersecurity Risks: OpenAI's Warning on AI Models and Zero-Day Exploits

OpenAI has released GPT 5.2, a new model that reportedly outperforms industry professionals across 44 occupations in benchmark tests, completing tasks over 11 times faster and at less than 1% of the cost of expert professionals. This development follows a declaration of urgency from CEO Sam Altman, who highlighted the need to enhance ChatGPT's capabilities in response to competition from Google's Gemini 3. The implications for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are significant, as the model aims to improve productivity and efficiency in various professional settings, potentially reshaping workflows and service delivery.In a related move, the Walt Disney Company has entered a three-year licensing agreement with OpenAI, investing $1 billion to allow the integration of over 200 characters from its franchises into OpenAI's Sora video generation tool. This partnership is designed to enhance user engagement while respecting creator rights through licensing fees. Concurrently, Disney has filed a cease and desist letter against Google for alleged copyright infringement, claiming that Google has been distributing copyrighted content from its library without authorization. This dual approach of licensing and litigation illustrates the complexities of copyright in the AI era, particularly for smaller companies lacking the enforcement capabilities of larger entities.The episode also discusses the U.S. government's response to AI governance, including an executive order from President Trump aimed at preventing states from enacting regulations that could hinder the AI industry. This order reflects a broader tension within the Republican coalition regarding the potential risks of unregulated AI, such as job displacement. Additionally, a ruling by the Penn Guild against Politico highlights the importance of human oversight in AI applications within journalism, emphasizing that AI cannot replace the accountability inherent in human reporting.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the key takeaway is the necessity of treating AI not merely as a tool but as a process change that requires governance and risk management. As AI technologies become more integrated into workflows, the potential for legal exposure increases if they are deployed without adequate oversight. MSPs that focus on helping clients navigate these complexities and implement robust governance frameworks will be better positioned to provide value and mitigate risks associated with emerging technologies. Three things to know today 00:00 As OpenAI and Google Advance AI Models, Disney's Licensing and Lawsuits Highlight the Real Stakes06:58 Trump Pushes AI Deregulation While Unions and Agencies Enforce Accountability, Exposing a Growing Governance Gap10:29 AI, Quantum, and the Myth of Inevitable Adoption: What CIO Guidance and Microsoft's History Reveal About Real Tech Value This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://scalepad.com/dave/https://getflexpoint.com/msp-radio/

It's News Day Tuesday on the Majority Report On today's program: Donald Trump is well into his second term and still has no health care plan beyond a market-juicing scam that serves no one.

David Dayen, executive editor for the American Prospect joins Sam and Emma to discuss the Prospect's affordability project. In the Fun Half: Trump is asked about releasing the full "double tap" video, something he previously said he would do, and snaps at the reporter, calling her obnoxious and insisting he never made that promise. The Chicago apartment building that was raided by a fully militarized ICE unit—only for agents to find none of the alleged Tren de Aragua members—is now evicting all tenants after being declared a firetrap. Tim Pool crashes out over his fellow conservative pundits not having the guts to stand up to Candace Owens. Sam Altman and Jimmy Fallon have an incredibly awkward exchange about ChatGPT.

P.M. Edition for Dec. 9. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman declared a “code red” last week to prioritize the company's ChatGPT chatbot after a competitive threat from Google. WSJ reporter Sam Schechner explains what drove that decision and the implications it could have for ChatGPT, the world's dominant chatbot. Plus, what investors expect as the Federal Reserve kicks off its last meeting of the year ahead of tomorrow's rate decision. And why is it so hard to get a clear picture of the economic health of U.S. consumers? WSJ's Telis Demos says one reason is the rise of a lending alternative: private credit. Alex Ossola hosts.

Welcome to another dynamic episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In this thought-provoking installment, Tom Bilyeu and co-host Drew dive into a whirlwind of today's most pressing topics, delivering sharp insights and lively debate. The episode opens with a rapid-fire rundown of major news—from the possibility of Americans buying healthcare through retailers like Costco, to Palantir skipping the college degree requirement in its hiring process, and the high-stakes race for AI dominance as Sam Altman sounds the alarm at OpenAI. Tom Bilyeu and Drew break down the real challenges behind America's healthcare system, emphasizing the power of competition and the controversial idea of personal responsibility in health outcomes. The discussion then shifts to education and career, as Drew shares his personal thoughts on college and apprenticeships, while Tom Bilyeu weighs the pros and cons of debt and traditional university paths in the era of AI and internet learning. But it doesn't stop there—the duo takes on the fierce battle between Google and OpenAI for AI supremacy, unraveling what competition (or monopoly) could mean for innovation, the economy, and us as consumers. Expect bold takes on how major tech players, government intervention, and monopolistic behavior could shape the future. From there, Tom Bilyeu offers a compelling vision for how AI will transform not just work, but the fundamental fabric of society, meaning, and even crime. The conversation ranges from personal teacher stories, university controversies surrounding free speech, to the changing nature of human relationships and ambition in a digital age. Packed with real talk, tactical advice, and the kind of high-level perspective only Impact Theory delivers, this episode challenges listeners to think critically about the future—and how to stay ahead of the curve.
