#184: OpenAI “Code Red,” Gemini 3 Deep Think, Recursive Self-Improvement, ChatGPT Ads, Apple Talent Woes & New Data on AI Job Cuts
from The Artificial Intelligence Show · host Paul Roetzer and Mike Kaput
OpenAI has officially declared a "Code Red," reportedly delaying future product launches to frantically shore up ChatGPT against a resurgent Google. This defensive pivot comes just as Google unveils Gemini 3 Deep Think and Workspace Studio, powerful new tools that allow users to build autonomous agents without writing a single line of code. On this week’s episode, Paul and Mike analyze this shift in power and explore the industry's quiet preparation for "recursive self-improvement," a near-future where AI models evolve without human intervention. They also discuss the backlash over OpenAI’s ad tests, major leadership shakeups at Apple, and Anthropic’s race to the public markets.
