About this episode
September 4, 2026: I look at OpenAI's new GPT-6 Astra model and why even powerful AI agents still may not be ready to take over full jobs. Then I get into the August jobs report, which came in far stronger than expected and complicates the "AI is killing jobs" narrative. Finally, I unpack the Wall Street Journal's argument that AGI may already be here and why the real question is not whether AI can do tasks, but whether organizations can actually change fast enough to use it.
