    #207: OpenAI vs. Anthropic Feud, Claude Mythos Leak, Brutally Honest CEOs & Data Center Moratorium
    Mar 31 2026
    Five companies are about to decide the future of the economy, geopolitics, and your career… and two of them have been locked in a deeply personal feud since 2016. This week, Paul and Mike dig into a Wall Street Journal investigation tracing the OpenAI vs. Anthropic rivalry back to broken promises and a San Francisco group house, explore what Anthropic's accidentally leaked "Mythos" model means for cybersecurity and the next leap in AI capability, react to Uber's CEO admitting AI will replace 70-80% of human work, and unpack nearly $300M in political money now flowing into AI deregulation. Plus: agent security risks, Apple's Siri overhaul, a new SmarterX use case spotlight, and an AI Academy deep dive on AI for Sales.

  • #206: Building AI Councils That Work, Motivating Passive Adopters, Why Pilots Stall, and Amazon’s AI Slowdown

    #206: Building AI Councils That Work, Motivating Passive Adopters, Why Pilots Stall, and Amazon’s AI Slowdown

    Not a single company leader Paul has spoken with is fully prepared for what AI is about to do to their workforce. In this AI Answers episode, Paul and Cathy work through 15 real questions from a recent Scaling AI class, covering everything from the AI divide inside companies to why most AI strategies fail before they start. Topics include job displacement and underemployment, why enterprises handed AI to IT and get stuck, the automation-vs-augmentation spectrum by seniority level, what knowledge work looks like in three years, and why showing a skeptical CEO results beats showing them prompts every time. 00:00:00 — Intro 00:06:09 — Is Amazon slowing its AI rollout a sign of maturity? 00:08:58 — Are large enterprises structurally disadvantaged in the AI era? 00:12:14 — Who owns the AI adoption and data readiness problem? 00:14:56 — Is there a growing AI divide between power users and everyone else? 00:21:16 — What AI take do most people disagree with? 00:22:47 — Can companies automate too much too fast? 00:26:19 — Does automation eventually take over or do we land in the middle? 00:28:24 — What does the average knowledge worker's job look like in three years? 00:35:02 — What are companies still getting wrong about AI strategy? 00:36:27 — How should leaders should decide what matters versus what’s noise? 00:40:21 — What separates AI councils that drive progress from ones that don't? 00:41:47 — Where is governance necessary and where does it get in the way? 00:45:17 — Should you show leadership the AI system or the results? 00:47:19 — What's the no-brainer AI use case most companies still haven't tried? 00:49:36 — Why do people wait to be told how to use AI instead of experimenting?

    Claude Code didn't just change one company's trajectory, it triggered a chain reaction across every major AI lab. In this episode, Paul Roetzer and Mike Kaput break down how OpenAI, Google, Meta, xAI, and Microsoft are all scrambling to catch up in the agent and enterprise race, and why the next three to six months could look radically different from anything we've seen. In rapid fire: Microsoft shakes up Copilot leadership, a Meta AI agent goes rogue and causes a security breach, the Anthropic-Pentagon legal battle intensifies, Google DeepMind proposes 10 traits for measuring AGI, and more.

This Podcast is AWESOME! I stumbled upon a late 2025 episode and enjoyed it so much I went back and listened to them all. It was like a history lesson in Artificial Intelligence with all the blanks filled in. As a result of this podcast, I am ready to tackle the future at my grand young age of 59 1/2. Thank you Paul & Mike for your dedication to the facts, unbiased opinion, and keeping the politics out of the conversation. YOU ROCK!!!

I had to go back and listen to them all!!!
