#153: OpenAI Releases o3-Pro, Disney Sues Midjourney, Altman: “Gentle Singularity” Is Here, AI and Jobs & News Sites Getting Crushed by AI Search

89 min • 17 juni 2025

o3 Pro is here. Sam Altman thinks the singularity might be too.

This week, Paul and Mike dive into OpenAI’s o3 Pro reasoning model and what makes it fundamentally different. They explore Sam Altman’s bold claim that the singularity has begun, Meta’s superintelligence ambitions, and Disney’s high-stakes lawsuit against Midjourney.

They also break down search traffic freefalls, mechanized job automation, and whether GPTs or projects are better for scaling AI workflows, among other topics, in our rapid-fire section.
