OpenAI has declared "Code Red" as ChatGPT faces growing competition from Gemini and other rivals. In this episode, we break down OpenAI's 6% market share decline, why their ad strategy is on hold, and what they need to do to reclaim the AI crown. We also explore DeepSeek V3.2's impressive capabilities as a cheap open-source alternative, Meta's new policy grading employees on AI skills, and the crisis facing higher education as AI fluency becomes essential. Plus, Fatal Patricia hits #1 on our Spotify charts, and Tesla's Optimus robot is running like a slightly unfit human.
