Insiders React: Is ChatGPT Atlas The Fut...

Yaniv Bernstein, Chris Saad
About this episode

OpenAI just dropped its unbelievable new browser. All signs point to it overshadowing Chrome, but is this really the dawn of a new era? Or just another hype cycle, courtesy of Sam Altman?


In this episode, Chris Saad and Yaniv Bernstein react to OpenAI’s surprise launch of ChatGPT Atlas and debate its strategic implications. They also discuss Apple’s underwhelming Vision Pro refresh (and what it means for the company at large), YouTube’s new likeness detection tech, and Reid Hoffman’s viral post on “good vs. bad actors” in AI.


In this episode, you will:

  • Explore what makes ChatGPT Atlas different from Chrome, Safari, and Arc, and why it matters.
  • Understand why OpenAI is desperate to own distribution, not just models.
  • Compare today’s “browser wars” with the 2000s Chrome vs. Internet Explorer showdown.
  • Learn how Apple’s Vision Pro M5 update signals the slow rebirth of spatial computing.
  • Discover why YouTube’s new Content ID for faces could be a turning point for AI deepfakes.
  • Hear how AI arms races mirror past battles like spam detection, piracy, and antivirus wars.
  • Unpack Reid Hoffman’s call for “good actors” in AI and whether self-regulation can actually work.
