GPT-5 Kills Switching, Claude’s Revenue Risk, and AI Hires a Human: The AI Argument EP69

GPT-5 has launched. It just rewrote the rules on control, coding, and cost. Justin’s delighted, Frank’s not happy… yet.

Plus: open-source risks, Google’s Genie 3 world models, AI agents hiring people, and… an AI funeral.

01:02 Did GPT-5 just end model-switching forever?
05:16 Is GPT-5 the death knell for Claude Code?
12:08 Is GPT-5’s writing truly better?
14:22 Why is demoing GPT-5 so awkward?
21:58 Is open source AI a gift or a grenade?
24:39 Is Genie 3 teaching AIs how the world works?
28:34 Did this guy really get hired by an AI agent?
30:37 Should we hold funerals for dead AIs?

Tell us in the comments: what’s the one GPT-5 change you love (or hate) the most?
