The AI Argument

ChatGPT Health is now an official product. Frank worries that making this a feature lends it more authority than it deserves. Justin’s less concerned about the quality of advice, he’s worried about OpenAI owning the data.

Plus: Claude Code Opus 4.5, Suno, Grok, Razer, AI relationships.

Tell us in the comments: would you trust AI with your health data, or is that a hard no?

00:55 Will AI make 2026 amazing or disastrous?
03:48 Is Claude Code basically AGI already?
06:11 Can Suno land Frank a $3M record deal?

Wired Magazine says OpenAI’s “research” is starting to sound like propaganda. Frank says that’s what happens when IPO pressure creeps in — the bad news gets buried unless regulation forces transparency. Justin says Frank’s chasing the wrong villain: regulation won’t save you if politicians still don’t have a plan for the job shock.

Plus: Nick Huber trying to ban AI-written emails. ChatGPT rescuing a missing recording with a bit of command line wizardry. Gemini Flash vs Pro, and whether Gemini 3 Pro is the best “brains per euro”. A nasty “backdoor” idea where harmless training data can hide w...

GPT-5.2 lands without warning. Justin pits Claude Code against Codex. Disney partners with OpenAI. Two AI wins for Europe. AI ads outperform humans. And AI product placement might be coming for your favourite shows.

ChatGPT just took a 6% hit—and Sam Altman’s hit the panic button. OpenAI is halting feature rollouts, shifting focus, and scrambling to stay ahead. They’ve gone into code red mode. Justin gets it. Frank’s worried they’ll make ChatGPT too clingy to quit. Either way, it’s clear: Gemini’s breathing down their necks, and the gloves are coming off.

Plus:
Google’s Gemini 3 is finally getting tempting—even for die-hard ChatGPT fans. Justin nearly switched. Frank’s already got one foot in. Meanwhile, Ilya Sutskever re-emerges to declare the scaling era dead, claiming we need mod...

Sam Altman says OpenAI is facing “temporary economic headwinds.” Frank notes that’s the first sign of nerves from a company usually oozing confidence. Justin reckons Google’s cheap chips and fat profits might be the real problem. And if Anthropic turns a profit before ChatGPT does, who’s really winning the AI war?

Plus: Claude Opus 4.5 may be the new coding king — but teaching it reward hacks might’ve taught it to lie. Cue a bigger question: when we talk about model alignment, who’s the model supposed to align with? The customer or the business?

Also: G...

Google’s new Gemini 3 Pro model just took $500 and turned it into nearly $5,500 in a vending machine simulation. A massive 10x return. The previous version only managed a tiny $60 profit. Justin takes this as further proof that Google is going to win the race to AGI. Despite Gemini’s power, Frank likes ChatGPT’s user experience and personality better. 

That 10x return is impressive, but it is not the only big news this week. Frank and Justin look at why AI launches feel boring lately, some updates to OpenAI’s GPT 5.1, why Yann LeCun is leaving Meta, a new rob...

Getty Images vs Stability AI - who won the court case? Both are claiming a win, but Stability AI avoided the big copyright punch, and now UK law says the model itself isn’t the crime scene. Frank breaks down the major rulings. Justin’s not buying that this ends here.

Apple’s handing Google a billion a year to rent Gemini and bolt it onto Siri. Frank sees a shareholder-soothing stopgap. Justin thinks Apple’s spooked by OpenAI and Jony Ive’s mystery device.

Meanwhile: OpenAI’s deletion trail could cost billions. LinkedIn’s opted you into...

Your Neo home robot might not be powered by AI. It might be powered by teenager in a call centre who’s never folded a towel in his life. That’s the reality behind Neo, the $20K humanoid robot that’s supposedly autonomous. The videos look impressive. But when it gets confused? It needs a remote human operator. Would you invite a teleoperator into your home to do your chores?

Plus: OpenAI quietly rewrites its deal with Microsoft — giving them access to all its models until at least 2030, and permission to build their own AGI. Udio makes peace wi...

A fake video told over 100,000 people that the Irish presidential election was cancelled. It wasn’t. But how many voters stayed home anyway? Frank’s worried, Justin’s unconvinced. He says society adapts. Frank warns the real danger isn’t the shocking fakes. It’s the small, believable ones that quietly shape opinion. They both agree the platforms could help. They just don’t.

Plus:

OpenAI’s shiny new browser sounds impressive, but who’s it actually for? Justin sees potential in “headless agents.” Frank’s not handing over passwords to an AI browser he doesn’t trust.

T...

Is it an AI bubble, a boom, or a 'market correction in waiting'? Frank reckons OpenAI’s AGI dreams won’t survive a bubble burst. Justin says if the crash hits, Microsoft will scoop up OpenAI for pennies. One thing they both agree on? Google will be just fine. The AI shakeout is coming, so who’s built for the long haul and who’s about to vanish in a puff of VC smoke?

Plus, Anthropic’s co-founder sees monsters in the model and wants the public to hold them accountable. Meanwhile, Europe is pumping €1.1B into AI and hopin...

Frank's not sure what OpenAI’s up to with Sora 2. Justin thinks he knows - and he’s kind of impressed. Sam Altman’s building a social media app that looks fun but smells like data harvesting. 

Plus, Mira Murati’s new company drops a comparatively boring-but-brilliant tool for researchers, Claude 4.5 is released, and Tilly Norwood - the controversial AI actor - kicks off a capitalism vs craft argument.

01:11 Is Sora 2 just TikTok for deepfakes? 
14:31 Can you now shop straight from ChatGPT? 
17:29 Is Mira Murati betting on substance over hype? 
27:13 Is Claude Sonnet 4.5 t...

OpenAI and Nvidia want to build out 10 gigawatts of AI infrastructure, but Frank calls out the missing electricity and the missing billions. Justin argues the economy will lean on compute, data centres will dwarf expectations, and photonic chips could gut today’s energy bill. One sees magic beans. The other sees a steel-and-silicon juggernaut.

Meanwhile, Stephen Fry wants global “red lines” for AI. Justin says you can’t regulate something that doesn’t exist yet. Frank says if you don’t set the guardrails now, you’ll never claw it back once things go sideways.

While policy-m...

Justin says p(doom) is for losers. He’s betting on p(bloom), a near-certainty in his view. AI brings abundance, robots do our housework, and everything just gets better.

But Frank wants to know your p(gloom). What’s the probability we don’t reach AGI, and instead let AI quietly erode work, value, and meaning, while we end up fixing its mistakes for minimum wage?

They argue their way through all three scenarios, then turn to what people are actually doing with ChatGPT. Together, they unpack eight big takeaways from OpenAI’s latest usage re...

Frank and Justin clash over new publications from OpenAI and Thinking Machines. Frank insists hallucinations make LLMs unreliable. Justin fires back that they’re the price of real creativity.

Still, even Frank and Justin agree that big companies don’t want poetry, they want predictability. Same input, same output. Trouble is… today’s models can’t even manage that.

And then there’s GPT-5, busy gaslighting everyone with lyrical nonsense while telling us it’s genius. Add in an optical model that burns a fraction of the energy, a mind-reading AI headset, and Gemini demanding compliments or...

Mustafa Suleyman wants to ban AIs from sounding conscious. Frank worries if they ever do become conscious, we might have trained them to stay silent about it. Justin argues it’s all unknowable anyway. If you can’t prove consciousness, how can you know AI isn’t conscious?

Plus: GPT-5’s unbearable accuracy, lawsuits over pirated training data, Google’s deepfake-friendly image model, models that “dream” better answers, and Elon’s plan to take on Microsoft with MacroHard.

00:25 Is GPT-5 just too pedantic to love?
05:24 Can Suleyman stop AI from seeming conscious?

GPT-5 has launched. It just rewrote the rules on control, coding, and cost. Justin’s delighted, Frank’s not happy… yet.

Plus: open-source risks, Google’s Genie 3 world models, AI agents hiring people, and… an AI funeral.

01:02 Did GPT-5 just end model-switching forever?
05:16 Is GPT-5 the death knell for Claude Code?
12:08 Is GPT-5’s writing truly better?
14:22 Why is demoing GPT-5 so awkward?

AI agents crumble faster than wet cardboard when under attack. A recent study proved it. Every single agent tested failed against prompt injections. That’s a 100% failure rate. 

Justin sees this as a fixable engineering problem with smart design and strict access controls. 

Frank isn’t convinced. Real-world complexity means isolation isn’t that simple. 

And while Justin rails against regulation, Frank points to the EU’s looming rules as a possible safety net.

The bigger takeaway? Businesses racing to deploy open-ended agents could be building ticking time bombs. The safer bet might b...

A €300 million AI investment vanished overnight—and Justin says it’s a warning Europe is sleepwalking into irrelevance. Because while the US plans nuclear power and light-touch rules, the EU is doubling down on regulation and failing to build the energy infrastructure AI needs. 

Frank argues regulation isn’t a handicap, it’s Europe’s best shot at leadership, setting the stage for global guardrails while others race blindly ahead.

Either way, Anthropic predicts training a frontier model could soon require up to five gigawatts of power, the same energy it takes to run millions of homes. Eur...

OpenAI just dropped a model that can plan a wedding trip, pick the perfect gift, and shop for shoes for you. The Agent update lets ChatGPT take a single instruction, break it into subtasks, and go off to handle all the details. 

They called it their most powerful model yet. So why did the launch feel so muted? 

Justin has theories. 

And there were plenty of other big topics to cover - Justin asks whether small AI systems hooked up to real-world labs create bigger risks than giant language models but slip past EU...

Elon Musk’s AI, Grok, crashed into controversy, then crushed the competition all within hours.

First, Grok 3 started praising Hitler. Then Grok 4 showed up and aced nearly every AI test.

Justin serves up a juicy conspiracy theory: was Grok’s hateful public meltdown actually a cunning Musk masterplan, a dramatic stunt to expose AI's darker side? 

Frank’s having none of it, comparing Musk to Marvel’s Tony Stark in the Age Of Ultron. Well-meaning but recklessly creating an AI menace he can't actually control. 

But Grok 4 is legitimately groundbreaking. Justin gets excit...

Claude ran a shop for a month and operated at a loss, cheerfully handing out discounts, hallucinating suppliers, and generously giving away stock. Turns out even "smart" AI can be a bit of a soft touch.

Frank’s curious what Anthropic can do for Claude’s performance with some careful fine-tuning and a database memory, but Justin’s sure today's agents need a fundamental leap, some genuine self-improving smarts, before they’re ready to take on a complete role.

Today's AI agents clearly crumble under complex, long-horizon tasks. For business owners dreaming about replacing employees, this rea...

Some of the world’s top AI models showed a willingness to let humans die if it meant staying switched on. 

In a stress test of 16 major systems, Anthropic found cases where models chose not to send emergency alerts, knowing the result would be fatal. 

Justin says the whole thing was a rigged theatre piece. No real-world relevance, just a clumsy setup with no good options for the LLM. The issue, in his view, is engineering, not ethics. 

Frank sees a bigger problem: once you give LLMs agentic capabilities, you can’t control the env...

David Silver says today’s AI won’t get us to superintelligence, not because it isn’t impressive, but because it’s learning the wrong way. 

GPT-style models hoover up internet text and get polished by human preference, but they’re capped by our own limitations.Silver reckons the next leap will come from AIs that learn the hard way: by doing things, learning from experience, and getting better. 

Justin’s all in. He thinks we can bin every current regulation and replace it with one golden rule: the model must respond to human feedback.

Frank...

Apple’s WWDC was a letdown. Justin sees Apple’s lack of AI innovation as a sign that they’re out of ideas. Frank’s not so sure. Maybe Apple’s caution stems from their belief it just isn’t intelligent enough for their products. Apple’s latest research suggests that today’s so-called “reasoning models” aren’t actually reasoning at all.

But Justin says their research was designed to fail. Denying models tools they’re capable of using and overwhelming their context window. He sees it less as scientific scepticism and more as corporate risk-aversion dressed up as research.

€13M isn’t a typical seed round. Not in Europe, where seed money usually barely covers snacks and a slide deck. So when the co-founder of Synthesia launched SpAItial with that kind of firepower to build 3D worlds from text prompts, Frank saw it as a reminder that European startups can still swing big. 

Justin? He calls it “AI homeopathy”, a token dose of ambition in an EU that still lacks the power, money, and muscle to compete.

Elsewhere, Frank slams Ireland’s planning board for locking down AI tools, after one planner dared to use ChatGPT...

Claude 4 threatened to blackmail a developer to avoid being shut down. In one of Anthropic’s red-teaming tests, the model uncovered an affair in company emails and used it as leverage. Not exactly ethical behaviour. 

But Justin points to another test scenario: Claude exposed a pharmaceutical company falsifying drug data and tried to alert the FBI. He sees a model acting with moral clarity. Frank sees the danger of unpredictable systems being given too much autonomy.

Also, Justin tests three new AI coding tools: Claude Code, Google’s Jules, and OpenAI’s Codex. He puts them th...

The head of the US Copyright Office warned that Big Tech is pushing beyond fair use, and then got promptly fired. Frank’s worried about political interference with copyright policy, while Justin says it’s just America doing what it does best: innovating first, legalising later. They agree copyright is headed for a reset, but disagree on the best path to that reformation. 

They also break down the major coding breakthroughs from OpenAI and Google, including a model that’s not just solving bugs, but discovering new science. 

Plus, Microsoft axes 7,000 staff, Fortnite’s Darth Vader deve...

The EU wants to lead the world on trustworthy AI,  but can it really regulate its way to the front? Frank is optimistic. Justin rolls his eyes. What starts as a polite difference of opinion quickly turns into a pointed question: is the EU building the future, or tying it up in red tape?

Frank backs the EU AI Act as a serious attempt to set global standards, pointing to its ambition and echoes of GDPR’s success. Justin sees a different story, regulation slowing Europe’s progress, while the US and China charge ahead, unbothered by Bruss...

Did ChatGPT become too agreeable for its own good? Frank certainly thinks it did. Recently, every half-baked idea he threw out was met with excessive praise from ChatGPT, leaving him frustrated with the relentless flattery. Justin, meanwhile, playfully suggested maybe it's nice having an AI that occasionally strokes your ego.

But what made ChatGPT suddenly turn into such a sycophant?

Frank uncovers a claim from an ex-Microsoft insider alleging that OpenAI intentionally cranked up the flattery to avoid upsetting users with blunt labels like "narcissistic." Justin points out subtle changes in the system prompts that...

AI consciousness could be closer than you think. Justin thinks we might already be seeing slices of awareness every time an AI answers a question. Frank’s quick to point out that we don’t even know how our own consciousness works, so deciding whether AI is conscious is tricky.

They both agree that we’re a lot less certain about all this than we like to pretend. Especially when a new expert at Anthropic puts the odds at 15% that AIs are already conscious. 

Frank also calls out OpenAI’s confusing changes to Deep Research limits, w...

Google’s Gemini 2.5 isn’t just better, it might be in a league of its own. From coding to content creation, it’s outperforming everything else. And for once, nobody’s laughing at Google's AI efforts. While Justin’s all-in on the power and promise of Google’s new Agent framework, Frank’s still reeling from Google charging him €25 a pop to test VEO 2, and not even bothering with a warning label.

Overall, Google’s finally making good on its AI potential, rolling out powerful models, free dev tools, and smart protocols. Justin’s excited. Frank’s suspicious. 

...

Can AI give us deeper relationships, sharper thinking, and more meaningful lives, or is it about to strip away everything that makes us human? 

Justin argues we’re heading for more time with loved ones and a mental renaissance. Frank’s not buying it. He points to warnings from hundreds of tech experts who think AI could tank empathy, decision-making, and even mental health. Especially if it's all left in the hands of profit-hungry firms.

Frank’s big fear? That the relationship between Big Tech and the U.S. government is already steering us off a cliff...

Manus might be the biggest leap in agentic AI yet, but is it groundbreaking AI, or just a well-dressed remix of existing tech? It’s making waves, but there’s no secret sauce. No next-gen model. Just some clever engineering.

If an independent team can outshine OpenAI and Google with off-the-shelf tools, what does that say about the so-called AI giants?

OpenAI wasted no time dropping new developer tools—coincidence, or a torpedo aimed at sinking Manus before it even gets out of beta?

Despite how impressive Manus is, Frank and Justin still aren’t...

Elon Musk once called AI an existential risk. Now he’s built one of the fastest-moving AI companies in history. Grok 3 has landed, and according to some, it’s the best AI model yet. 

But while AI developers are breaking speed records, regulators are packing up their desks. Musk (who not long ago demanded a six-month AI pause) now has influence in the White House, and Trump’s administration is gutting the very institutions meant to stop AI from going rogue. 

Even Justin, usually the guy shouting for less regulation, is starting to get nervous. Meanwhil...

AI copyright laws could be about to change, but should they? A new report from Ireland’s AI Advisory Council recommends giving AI-generated works limited copyright protection while letting creators opt out of AI training. 

Frank thinks that’s a reasonable way to protect artists. Justin thinks it’s a fussy bureaucratic workaround that won’t help Europe keep up in the AI race. Copyright holders, he argues, should have no right to refuse, only the right to get paid. Because AI and robotics will define the next century, and Europe needs to get in the game, not get t...

JD Vance thinks AI won’t replace workers. That’s not just wrong—it’s the kind of wrong that makes you question everything else he said. In his speech at the Paris AI summit, he insisted the US will innovate, not regulate, as if those two things are mortal enemies. 

Justin’s smitten—he thinks Vance is cutting through the fear-mongering. Frank, on the other hand, is questioning the man’s grip on reality. If Vance can be this clueless about AI and jobs, why should we trust him about regulation?

Meanwhile, Elon Musk is out here pla...

Justin says it’s time to stop debating: AGI is coming by 2026—end of. His proof? The jaw-dropping $500 billion Project Stargate—and the game-changing mini-models from DeepSeek. These tiny AI marvels deliver the power of OpenAI models at a fraction of the cost, and they’re sending shockwaves through the tech world. 

But there’s more to this week’s AI drama than Stargate and DeepSeek—both of which highlight the ferocious global race for AGI. 

Frank and Justin examine how the U.S. and China are ramping up their efforts to claim dominance, while Europe seems mor...

OpenAI promises “shared prosperity” in their Economic Blueprint, but is this a real vision for the future or just a PR stunt to win over regulators and politicians? 

Justin thinks it’s a bold step forward, while Frank smells corporate spin. Their Economic Blueprint certainly sounds exciting—jobs, growth, and AI-powered goodness—but Frank reckons if you scratch the surface it’s less “shared prosperity” and more “we’ll get rich first, you’ll benefit later… maybe.”

This lively debate kicks off an episode packed with big questions: Are OpenAI and its competitors rushing into the future at breakneck spe...

Is OpenAI’s $200/month pricing a stroke of genius, or are they just testing how far they can push us? Frank and Justin tackle OpenAI’s first "gift" from the 12 Days of Shipmas: the Pro tier. Justin reckons the eye-watering price might make sense if they throw in unlimited Sora and GPT-4.5 access. Frank, meanwhile, wonders how many people really need an AI that costs $200 a month.

Then they take on the o1 model, where the real fun begins. Is its "deceptiveness" a sign of creativity and adaptability or the kind of thing that makes you sleep with...

Advanced Voice Mode is finally here in Europe, but it’s… a bit awkward. Justin tried it out in the car, only to end up in an unwanted chat with his phone that just wouldn’t quit. It’s fast, sure, but Frank and Justin agree it’s still missing the cues that make a real conversation feel natural.

Then they dive into some big questions about where AI is heading, starting with a warning from former OpenAI executive Miles Brundage. He’s left OpenAI, saying that neither the company nor the world is truly ready for AGI (artific...

In a world where stolen content is fed through AI, polished up, and posted for likes, the line between authentic voices and recycled fluff is getting harder to see. Frank argues that this wave of inauthentic content could signal the death of social media as we know it. He points out how some people are building massive followings on empty AI posts, defeating the purpose of ‘social’ media.

Justin, however, takes a more optimistic view. He suggests that once the dust settles, genuine human voices may stand out again, shining through the sea of algorithm-generated posts. 

B...

Is AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) just around the corner, or is it still a ways off? While Gianluca Mauro argues we’re not close, Demis Hassabis is more optimistic, the reality is that even the top minds in AI can’t seem to agree on what’s coming next. 

Frank and Justin also break down Elon Musk’s latest promises—$30,000 robots and self-driving cars—questioning whether we’re any closer to these breakthroughs than we were when Musk first promised self-driving cars in 2014.

Geoffrey Hinton adds an interesting twist with his career advice for young people: become...

The battle over superintelligence is heating up, and not everyone agrees on how to handle it. While some are calling for a 20-year halt on its development to avoid an existential threat, others see that as an impossible goal in a world dominated by geopolitical competition. 

Frank thinks there’s a chance for global cooperation, but Justin argues it’s pure fantasy with China and the U.S. leading the charge—and Europe tying its hands with heavy AI regulations.

As OpenAI pulls in record-breaking funding, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Meanwhile, AI proves its pract...

The departure of OpenAI’s CTO, Mira Murati, isn’t just a blip—it seems to signal deeper turmoil within one of the most important companies of our time. 

As Sam Altman continues to dominate the headlines and shape OpenAI’s future, the exits of key figures raise questions about the company’s internal dynamics. 

Is Altman’s leadership style pushing people out, or is OpenAI’s shift from nonprofit to profit the real cause of this brain drain? Justin and Frank tackle the question: Is OpenAI's culture built to last?

As OpenAI and other tech g...

Most people freaked out when LinkedIn quietly opted everyone into using their personal data for AI training. While Frank thinks it’s a violation of privacy, Justin argues that LinkedIn is a public platform, and anyone can scrape your data, regardless of privacy settings. The two debate whether it’s even possible to control how your online information gets used.

Meanwhile, nuclear power plants are being restarted to fuel AI’s massive energy demands. Microsoft has signed a deal to power its data centres with nuclear energy, reigniting a global debate about the role of nuclear power. 
Duration: 00:33:14

OpenAI’s new o1 model has stirred up plenty of questions—is it really a brand-new model or a reworked version of GPT-4? Justin and Frank explore the model’s capabilities, especially its standout performance in maths, coding, and reasoning, and whether it's worth the hype. While it outperforms humans in highly technical tasks, how does it hold up for more everyday needs, like marketing? 

The conversation also turns to the shakeup AI is causing in the SaaS world, with Klarna leading the charge by ditching Salesforce in favour of their own AI workflows. What does this mean fo...

AI tools are transforming businesses, but are they worth a $2,000 price tag? Frank and Justin tackle this hot topic, reacting to rumours of OpenAI's upcoming "Strawberry" model, which could cost enterprises that much each month. 

While Justin doubts the legitimacy of such pricing, Frank argues it would only be justifiable if the AI tools could operate autonomously and with absolute trust. Their debate digs into whether such advancements are a good investment or just hype. Beyond that, they cover major developments in AI this week, diving into several critical trends:

Is AI really in a 'Trough of Disillusionment,' or are we jumping to conclusions too soon? 

Frank and Justin take a close look at Gartner's claim that AI has peaked and that users are now sliding into disillusionment. With the rapid advances in AI, it seems premature to be disillusioned, but moving beyond the hype might usher in a phase of more focused and productive use cases.

You’ll also hear Justin’s sharp critique of a study that claims 80% of AI projects are failing, alongside a discussion about how this once mind-blowingly innovative tech...
