229 | Insane week of AI releases 🤯 ChatGPT shopping, Sora-2, Claude Sonnet 4.5, and agentic browsers. The AI disruption might be slower than we thought. A new star AI actress is born, and many more important AI news for the week ending on October 3rd
Season 1 Episode 229
Is the AI disruption overhyped or just getting started?
Yale says the labor market isn’t budging. Walmart is betting $1B that employee training is the missing piece. Meanwhile, Gen Z is pivoting to trades in an AI-fearing talent shift no one saw coming.
This week’s AI headlines tell a much deeper story than flashy product drops.
From ChatGPT turning into a shopping mall to Claude going full autonomous coder, and the rise of “work slop” at the office—every release points to a strategic fork in the road: consumerization vs. enterprise agents.
