What will it actually take to get to AGI? Today we unpack the “jagged frontier” of AI capabilities — systems that can dazzle at PhD-level reasoning one moment but stumble on high school math the next. We look at Demis Hassabis' timeline and critique of current models, the debate over whether today's AI really operates at PhD level, and why continual learning and memory remain the missing breakthroughs. We also explore how coding agents, real-world usage data, and persistent context may become critical steps on the road to AGI. Finally, in headlines: lawsuits over AI search, Apple leadership changes, OpenAI's renegotiated deal with Microsoft, and layoffs at xAI.

My guest today is Jonathan Siddharth, co-founder and CEO of Turing.Jonathan incubated Turing in Foundation Capital's Palo Alto office in 2018. Since then, it has grown into a multi-billion dollar company that powers nearly every frontier AI lab: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and others. If you've seen a breakthrough in how AI reasons or codes, odds are Turing had a hand in it.Jonathan has a provocative thesis: within three years, every white-collar job, including the CEO's, will be automated. In this episode, we talk about what it will take to reach artificial superintelligence, why this goal matters, and how the agentic era will fundamentally reshape work. We also dig into his founder journey: what he learned from his first startup Rover, how he built Turing from day one, and how his leadership style has evolved to emphasize speed, intensity, and staying in the details.Jonathan has been at the edge of AI for years, and he has the rare ability to translate what's happening at the frontier into lessons for builders today.Hope you enjoy the conversation! Chapters: 00:00 Cold open00:02:06 Jonathan's backstory: his experience at Stanford00:06:37 Lessons from Rover00:08:39 Early Turing: incubation at Foundation Capital and finding PMF00:13:52 Why Turing took off00:15:12 Evolving from developer cloud to AGI partner for frontier labs00:16:49 How coding improved reasoning - and why Turing became essential00:20:38 Founder lessons: building org speed and intensity00:23:33 Why work-life balance is a false dichotomy00:24:17 Daily standups, flat orgs, and Formula One culture00:25:15 Confrontational energy and Frank Slootman's influence00:29:50 Positioning Turing as “Switzerland” in the AI arms race00:34:32 The four pillars of superintelligence: multimodality, reasoning, tool use, coding00:37:39 From copilots to agents: the 100x improvement00:40:00 Why enterprise hasn't had its “ChatGPT moment” yet00:43:09 Jonathan's thoughts on RL gyms, algorithmic techniques, and evals00:46:32 The blurring line between model providers and AI apps00:47:35 Why defensibility depends on proprietary data and evals00:55:20 RL gyms: how enterprises train agents in simulated environments00:57:39 Underhyped: $30T of white-collar work will be automated

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I unpack how Oracle's $455B RPO surge signals a massive shift in cloud leadership.Highlights00:15 — We see across the Cloud Wars Top 10 an incredible sense of demand from businesses across the world — to help those businesses create their futures. And in fact, we've now got, just among the four hyperscalers, a pipeline totaling $1.1 trillion. We've got Oracle in the top spot there at $455 billion. Microsoft is number two in the RPO race, $368 billion.01:17 — So here, I've got the four hyperscalers with RPO and the RPO growth rate, then quarterly revenue and quarterly growth rate. Oracle is on the top, its RPO now sits at close to half a trillion dollars, with a growth rate of 359%. Microsoft: $368 billion in RPO, up a whopping 37%, off that huge base. Quarterly revenue for the Microsoft Cloud — almost $47 billion, up 27%.02:25 — AWS' RPO is now $195 billion, up about 25%. That's coming off its Q2 revenue of almost $31 billion, up 17.5%. AWS is growing more slowly than the other hyperscalers. Google Cloud: backlog $106 billion, up 38%. For Q2, Google Cloud revenue at $13.6 billion, up 32%. So it was the fastest-growing in Q1, doing very well here.03:33 — Now altogether, this adds up to $1.1 trillion. I'm just not used to saying “trillion.” Got to get more used to that as this market gets bigger. Oracle CEO Safra Catz said that there were multiple huge deals that Oracle signed for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and more coming. Catz said that, “We anticipate that in the near future, Oracle's RPO will reach $500 billion — half a trillion.”04:32 — Going into the future, as AI comes along and changes so much, RPO — or backlog — gives us a great idea of who the hot companies are coming up. And right now, undisputedly, that is Oracle. The other three companies are doing quite well, but I think AWS has become the “slowpoke” in this sprint that the others are undertaking.

Nintendo est à l'honneur cette semaine, avec un gigantesque Nintendo Direct plein à craquer! Coup d'envoi des 40 ans de Mario, on a des nouvelles des prochains projets du plombier, mais aussi des dates pour les tant attendus Metroid Prime 4 (en décembre!) et Hades 2 (la semaine prochaine!!), un nouveau Fire Emblem, et même des trucs pour les fans de Pokemon, on a pas bien compris mais ça a l'air cool. Tout n'est pas rose pour autant chez Nintendo qui s'attire les foudres des joueurs en déposant des brevets un peu louches à tout va, et en se remplissant les poches au tribunal. On essaie de décrypter tout ça dans cet épisode!Bonne écoute à tous, comme toujours la Belle et le Gamer existe grâce au soutien de ses formidables fans via Patreon, et pour les rejoindre, ça se passe par ici.Pour rejoindre la communauté de La Belle et le Gamer et nous soutenir, tous les liens utiles se trouvent à l'adresse suivante, y compris l'invitation pour rejoindre notre serveur Discord, et notre chaîne Twitch: https://linktr.ee/LBELG. Hébergé par Ausha.

News and Updates: In 2025, “computer literacy” means more than navigating systems — it's about collaborating with AI, exercising critical thinking, and adapting to rapid change. While most job postings still only ask for basic skills, AI fluency is emerging as the new digital divide. Experts warn that overreliance on tools like ChatGPT risks eroding foundational skills, but argue AI can strengthen capability when paired with judgment and training. Continuous upskilling is now seen as essential for career resilience. The UK government is consulting on legislation to ban ransomware payments by the public sector and critical national infrastructure, alongside mandatory reporting for other organizations. The goal is to disrupt cybercriminals' business model and improve intelligence sharing. While 72% of respondents back the ban, experts warn it could push attacks toward private firms, raise remediation costs, and leave public bodies vulnerable unless security investments increase. Wealthy and high-profile individuals are turning to “cybersecurity concierges” — digital bodyguards offering tailored protection against hacking, identity theft, and reputational risk. Services range from $1,000 to $50,000+ per year and often include data scrubbing, dark-web monitoring, and personalized cyber hygiene plans. While some argue similar protection can be achieved with off-the-shelf tools, demand is rising as clients seek peace of mind and 24/7 access to experts. Enterprises clinging to Windows 10 face steep costs as Microsoft phases out support. Nexthink research shows extended support could exceed $7.3 billion globally, with fees starting at $61 per device in year one and doubling annually. Despite a 33% drop in Windows 10 usage this summer, 121 million devices may still run it after the October 14 cutoff. Analysts warn delays heighten security risks and create fragmented employee experiences, urging businesses to accelerate upgrades.

What is the fundamental principle of effective SEO for beginners?The best SEO strategy for beginners starts with understanding and targeting your audience by asking questions. SEO is fundamentally about providing answers to the questions people are asking. This approach not only helps you create relevant content but also aligns your efforts with how search engines (like Google, ChatGPT, Pinterest, YouTube, and Amazon) operate. By consistently answering these questions, you build authority and credibility, which are crucial for visibility and growth. Tools like Answerthepublic.com, Answerocrates.com, SparkToro.com, and Ubersuggest.com can help you identify these questions and understand audience intent.2. Why is audience understanding crucial for SEO and content creation?Understanding your audience is paramount because it allows you to create content that directly addresses their needs and queries. When you create content with the user's questions in mind, you're not just optimizing for algorithms; you're building a connection with your potential audience. This "three-way connection" between you, your audience, and the algorithm ensures that your content resonates with those actively searching for solutions. It helps bypass the algorithm by matching user intent with your offerings, leading to higher engagement and a stronger brand.3. What are the essential technical SEO elements for a beginner's website?For a beginner, ensuring strong technical SEO involves several fundamental steps:HTTPS Security Connection (SSL): Always secure your website with an HTTPS connection. This creates a privacy area for users, builds trust (indicated by a padlock in the browser), and is a crucial ranking factor for search engines. Websites without this are often flagged as "not secure," leading to immediate user abandonment.Sitemap (XML File): A sitemap is like a brain or a map for your website, allowing algorithms to read and understand its structure and content. While humans read HTML (hypertext markup language), algorithms read XML (expandable markup language). Platforms like WordPress (with plugins like Yoast, RankMath), Squarespace, Shopify, and Wix automatically generate sitemaps, but they must be connected to tools like Google Search Console and Google Analytics to be fully activated and effective.No Broken or Duplicated Links: Regularly check for and fix broken links and avoid duplicating content, as these issues can confuse search engines and negatively impact your ranking.4. How important are blogs and consistent content creation for SEO?Blogs (or articles, sources) are essential because they tell the world you have something valuable to say. Websites like Wikipedia, Reddit, Shopify, and Canva all leverage blogs to provide information.

Money flood - insane revenue and valuation growth, AI impacting every industry, Open AI and Microsoft deal, new time compute records are changing the game, the first AI government member, and more important AI news for the week ending on September 12 2025Is AI on the verge of world domination… or an economic meltdown?This week's AI headlines weren't about shiny new model releases and that's a good thing. It gave us time to zoom out and examine the billion-dollar chess game shaping our future.From OpenAI's $115B spend-fest to the first AI government cabinet member, and from Replit's code-writing agents to copyright lawsuits with a twist — this episode is a crash course in just how *wild* and *wide* AI's reach has become.Here's your witty but grounded executive summary of the week's most impactful AI news — handpicked and broken down by your host, Isar Meitis, with direct implications for how business leaders should think, adapt, and move.In this session, you'll discover:- OpenAI's capital-intensive moonshot and why it may still not be profitable in 2030- Microsoft's unexpected pivot: From exclusive OpenAI integration to paying AWS for Claude- The first AI cabinet member in Albania here's why it might be brilliant (or backfire)- AI-made movies & TV are no longer a fantasy, OpenAI is backing a full-length feature- Funding frenzy decoded: Databricks, Replit, Perplexity, and others are raising billions- "Thinking" AI that works for hours: How new models are pushing past past limitations- 5,000 AI podcasts a week for $1 each?!

Anthropic support CA AI laws, Albania has a new minister of Corruption and it's AI, A man was convinced by ChatGPT to build a computer to free it, Senator Wyden calls out Microsoft for still allowing RC4 to be used in Ransomware attacks. Cell Phone Recycle, Win 10 update, 2FA, backup to cloud. New HP Laptop, e-Cycle very old laptop, E-cycle and shredding, Win 11 playing DVD on my AIO,

This week on Grumpy Old Geeks, we're diving headfirst into the digital dumpster fire, starting with follow-up that will make you wonder if the rich are finally getting their comeuppance. It seems Tesla's market share is plummeting, and Elon Musk has been unceremoniously knocked off as the world's wealthiest person. Meanwhile, OpenAI and Microsoft are flirting with new partnership terms, and OpenAI is also reportedly cozying up with Oracle for a cloud computing deal. Are they figuring it all out or just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic? You decide.In the news, it's a feast of AI-induced chaos. Anthropic attempted to settle a copyright lawsuit for $1.5 billion, but a judge rejected it. Apple faces scrutiny for allegedly using pirated books to train AI (because who needs original ideas when you can just steal them?), and everyone from Reddit to Yahoo is rushing to get paid for their data being scraped by AI. Google even admits that the open web is struggling, while pushing ads into AI-generated answers and trying to convince us that DOGE never existed. Meanwhile, millions of YouTube videos have been copied by AI companies—because why create when you can just steal? Not to mention, The Boring Company reportedly stopped tunneling after a "crushing injury" (ironic, huh?), Zuckerberg and Palmer Luckey are teaming up again like a disastrous boy band for military-grade goggles, and Meta whistleblowers are exposing child safety issues. Plus, a hot mic caught Zuck groveling to Trump—the cringe is real. And if that wasn't enough, it turns out AI usage is actually declining at big companies, and programmers using AI are creating more security risks than a screen door on a submarine. It's almost like we saw this coming.For your Media Candy fix, get ready for a dose of existential dread. The MTV Video Music Awards are still happening in 2025, with a median viewer age of 56—because nothing screams "youth culture" like osteoporosis. We'll wonder if Wednesday (aka Charlie Sheen) is still winning and discuss Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Amazon Music is launching AI-powered playlists (because who needs a human DJ when you can have an algorithm that thinks it knows your soul?), and Deezer claims 28% of all new music is AI-generated. Taika Waititi is developing a "potentially disastrous" Fyre Fest musical (we're excited!), Foundation is renewed for season 4, and the HBO Max CEO thinks it's "way underpriced"—bless his heart. Plus, more Highlander reboot news that will probably disappoint, and a look at The Missi & Brooke Show and The Traitors Ireland.Finally, in Apps & Doodads, bad news for AirPods Live Translation in the EU, Evernote and WeTransfer's owner is buying Vimeo, and you need this pettable Poké Ball Tamagotchi-style toy. In The Dark Side with Dave, we'll discuss The Princess Bride, how tariffs are ruining hobbies, and who wants "slop for their ears." This episode shows that some things never change, and most things are just getting worse.

Marketers' roles are changing, but their goals are still the same: reach and engage customers, meeting them where they are, and for better or worse, often needing to do more with less while delivering greater value. Agility requires both adapting to change quickly while also having the wisdom to know which changes truly matter. It demands a delicate balance between embracing new technologies and staying laser-focused on core business objectives. Today, we are here in New York City at Opticon25. We are going to talk about the growing role of AI for both marketers and consumers, how organizations can leverage an agentic platform to create better internal and external customer experiences, and how marketers can both do more with less while delivering exponentially greater value. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Rupali Jain, Chief Product Officer and Kevin Li, SVP Product at Optimizely. About Rupali JainRupali Jain is the Chief Product Officer at Optimizely.

Lyft CEO David Risher is leading a comeback story at the ridesharing company. Two years into the job, he's made Lyft profitable, expanded into Europe, and grown market share against Uber. In this conversation with Mosheh, Risher looks into the future: hybrid fleets of drivers and robotaxis, how AI will shape transportation, and whether the next generation of Americans will even need to learn how to drive. He lays out Lyft's vision for cities of the future — and how to balance innovation with human connection at a time when technology often isolates more than it brings us together. Risher also reflects on his experience at senior levels of Microsoft and Amazon, sharing what he's learned about leadership, customer loyalty (obsessions), and the lessons tech has and hasn't learned from the past couple decades.  Mosheh Oinounou (⁠@mosheh⁠) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist. He has 20 years of experience at networks including Fox News, Bloomberg Television and CBS News, where he was the executive producer of the CBS Evening News and launched the network's 24 hour news channel. He founded the @mosheh Instagram news account in 2020 and the Mo News podcast and newsletter in 2022.

After spending much of the 2010s in the doldrums, IBM has made something of a comeback in the past five years under the leadership of CEO Arvind Krishna. That's thanks to a lot of the success in its hybrid cloud business, as well as its consulting services. All of this has led to a surge in the company's share price. Now, IBM is betting that quantum computing will be the next big thing. But will Big Blue succeed against rivals like Microsoft and Google who are racing to make their own quantum breakthroughs? And how is the company learning from its past mistakes with Watson AI? Arvind Krishna speaks to WSJ's Christopher Mims and Tim Higgins on the latest episode of the Bold Names podcast.

This move is part of a broader strategy to transition OpenAI from a non-profit to a public benefit corporation, alongside a tentative agreement to resolve financial issues with Microsoft, which has invested over $13 billion in OpenAI since 2019. The revised agreement includes a clause that limits Microsoft's access to OpenAI's most advanced technologies if they achieve artificial general intelligence. This transition is under scrutiny from regulators and raises concerns about OpenAI's commitment to its foundational mission of ensuring that artificial intelligence benefits humanity.The financial implications of OpenAI's restructuring are significant, particularly with an estimated computing cost problem of $350 billion. This staggering figure not only highlights the challenges OpenAI faces but also sets a concerning precedent for other tech companies relying on cloud computing resources. If OpenAI struggles with these costs, it could lead to higher API pricing, throttled access, or abrupt contract changes that would affect managed service providers (MSPs) and their clients. The podcast emphasizes the importance of diversifying partnerships and negotiating flexibility in contracts to mitigate potential volatility in the AI landscape.In other industry news, N-able has launched CATMIP, an initiative aimed at standardizing AI terminology in cybersecurity and IT management. This effort seeks to address the inconsistencies in terminology across different tech vendors, which can lead to errors and ambiguities in AI command interpretation. Meanwhile, Kaseya has reshaped its leadership with a community-first message, appointing new executives to enhance its AI-first platform, Kaseya 365. These changes reflect a shift towards a more community-centric approach for managed service providers, although the podcast cautions that new titles alone won't resolve existing integration challenges.Adobe and Coro are also making strides in integrating AI into their offerings. Adobe has introduced AI agents in its Experience Cloud, with over 70% of customers already adopting the new tools designed to enhance customer experience processes. Coro has released a new version of its cybersecurity platform tailored for small and mid-sized businesses, leveraging AI to simplify security processes. The podcast concludes with a discussion on the decline of the open web, the normalization of AI as a technology, and the importance of aligning AI adoption with business goals rather than treating it as a standalone strategy. Four things to know today 00:00 OpenAI Restructures With $100B Equity Transfer While Confronting $350B Compute Crisis03:58 N-able Pushes AI Standardization While Kaseya Reshapes Leadership for AI-First Future06:51 Adobe Targets Customer Experience as Coro Brings Enterprise Security to SMBs08:28 Open Web Fades, AI Normalizes, and Strategy Matters More Than Ever  This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://scalepad.com/dave/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I break down how Microsoft is redefining the agentic AI landscape with Copilot Studio Lite and Full Experience, offering tailored tools for both low-code creators and enterprise-grade developers.Highlights00:03 — Microsoft has announced the launch of Copilot Studio Lite and Copilot Studio Full Experience, two versions of Copilot that, in the words of Principal Solution Architect Rémi Dyon, "empower everyone from information workers to developers to build intelligent agents tailored to their needs."00:23 — Microsoft Copilot Studio is a low-code platform that enables users to build and customize AI agents to operate across Microsoft 365 and LOB (line-of-business) systems. Now, Copilot Studio provides two ways to operate: a Lite experience (formerly Agent Builder), which is integrated directly into the Microsoft 365 Copilot app, or a Full Experience, as a standalone web portal.01:17 — When choosing which option is right for you, Microsoft suggests acknowledging four key criteria: audience, deployment, scope, functionality, and governance needs. Dyon describes the changes as a "clarity upgrade," which is significant.01:34 — The AI Wars have evolved into the Agentic AI Wars. One defining trend is the emphasis on clarity. This clarity applies to how tools are operated, the range of users who can access them, and marketing strategies. A simple name change like this may not seem like a huge leap, but Microsoft is defining a category focused on agent development rather than just agent deployment. Visit Cloud Wars for more.
