OpenAI just launched ChatGPT Pulse, a succinct, personalized daily feed. Will this shift the focus of AI from performance to personal context? Or is it just an overhyped, overpriced daily digest?

In this episode, Chris and Yaniv get right into this week's tech news: the reality of ChatGPT Pulse, plus the wider implications of Hollywood's first AI actress, Tilly Norwood; Amazon's record-breaking $2.5B fine for deceptive Prime signups and the lessons founders can learn from it; and plenty more.

In this episode, you will:

Explore how ChatGPT Pulse signals OpenAI’s strategy against Google and Apple.
Debate whether AI-generated actors like Tilly Norwood have a real future in Hollywood.

Discover why Anthropic is shifting focus to enterprise and coding workflows.
