Episode Details

OpenAI dropped GPT-6 Astra, and the headline isn't just the model — it's the AGI claim attached to it. This episode unpacks the Stargate LLC consortium behind the training run, the hundred-thousand-GPU cluster in Abilene, Texas, and what the scale really tells us about the future of AI development.

Is this a genuine leap in intelligence, or is "AGI" the marketing that justifies a multi-billion-dollar infrastructure bet? Episode #334145 — open it directly at myweirdprompts.com/334145
