Let's get into without further ado, the news for July 28 this week and hey what's up live stream audience. Good to see you. Would love to hear your thoughts and I'll share them live as we go along. So our friends joining us on YouTube, Big Bogey Face and Nathan, good morning to you all and Frank and Dan and Ted. Everyone else, thanks for joining us people on the LinkedIn machine, Dr. Scott, Marie, Joe, everyone else, thanks for joining us. Would love to hear your comments as we go along. So our first piece of AI news, pretty big one Here we have our first official reported date anyways for the highly anticipated GPT5 model from OpenAI. So according to the Verge, OpenAI is expected to release its next generation GPT5 language model in early August. So this release is very notable because it arrives ahead of previous expectations and before the day of what we've been hearing is a potential OpenAI open language model. So OpenAI CEO Sam Altman confirmed on X, or Twitter as most people call it, that GPT5 will be be released soon and showcase the model's advanced reasoning abilities in a recent podcast appearance. So according to reports, Altman described GPT5 using it as a here it is moment in terms of AGI when GPT5 instantly answered a question he could not based on his own personal context, highlighting the model's leap in problem solving. So GPT5 will reportedly include a Mini and a Nano version, which will be accessible also via OpenAI's 8 API, broadening its reach for developers and businesses. So the news the new model will integrate OpenAI's O3 reasoning capabilities, which were originally planned for a separate release. So they're kind of stream trying to anyways streamline the company's product lineup. Also we've seen kind of reports in in Microsoft Copilot of a forthcoming GPT5 model selector inside of the web version of Microsoft Copilot, as engineers there have reportedly been preparing server capac capacity for GPT5 since earlier this year. Also there's been some models that have popped up on different model evaluation platforms such as the LM arena where you can go and test out different upcoming models, some of them named, some of them code named. So a lot of reported code named models have been popping up and sometimes getting deleted, including ones named Summit, Zenith Lobster, Nectarine and Starfish. I was able to play with these just a little bit. Sometimes it's a roll of the dice quite literally to be able to get these random model selectors. If you're going in a head to head battle, that's the only way that they're going to come up while using LM arena and very impressive results so far. So if Those truly are GPT5 or variants, right, whether you have a full or a nano or mini version, pretty impressive so far. And this has been one of those things. The GPT4 technology is now more than two years old, so OpenAI and I've been saying this now for like 18 months. They've had no real reason I think to release GPT5 at least over the past year or so I'd say that's probably changed because it's always been one of these things where OpenAI has, has been able to essentially release an updated version of its GPT4O model, again based on the two plus year old GPT4 architecture. And essentially when they have recently updated their GPT4O model under the hood, it's benchmarked very well, usually a top one or top two model. And I think that's changed at least with their base model because the Google variants of Gemini 2.5 Pro have been dominating over the last two to three months. So maybe OpenAI is finally starting to feel the pressure of not having what's widely considered the best all purpose model with Gemini 2.5 Pro being a reasoning model. So we've heard reports now for more than a year that the GPT5 will be more of a system and it's going to kind of select the best model. So it might select, as an example O3 Pro, it might have some new variants of GPT5 replacing GPT GPT4O. But we could now find out actually in a week or so. Right here it is the last week of July and we're seeing confirmed reports now, right? We've hear, we, we've heard mumbles for the last year. Oh, GPT5 is coming out and I've been saying, no, no it's not. I think this is the first time when I've seen a legitimate report from a news organization saying, yeah, like yeah, this is probably something that could come out in the coming weeks. So pretty, pretty big news here. Dr. Scott asking, do you think the GPT5 release or other company releases will beat the EU AI Act8.2 implementation, extending their time for compliance to 827. I'm not sure, but if I'm telling you the truth, I don't think OpenAI, at least right now, is that concerned about the EU AI act because it's the US, right? That's where the enterprise business customers are, that's where the appetite is, that's where the growth is. Obviously the, there's, there's other countries that are, you know, they're concerned about in their long term plans. But you want to have the best model for the US because that is where the majority of enterprise customers are located and that's where the money is, it's in the enterprise customer. So yeah, rollouts across different markets will be slower for sure. All right, our next piece of AI news vibe coding. Google going all in. So Google has started testing and has officially released Opal, a new AI powered tool that's Lexi. Users build many web apps from a simple text prompt. So Opal is available for through Google Labs right now in the US and is designed to help anyone, even those with no coding experience, create and share web apps quickly. So users can describe the app that they want in natural language. And Opal uses Google's AI models to generate it, then allows further customization through a visual workflow editor. So the tool offers a gallery of remixable apps as well. So if you don't know how to get started, that's a great way to do it, making it pretty easy to start from existing templates. And once an app is built, this is pretty cool. Users can publish it online and share links for others to test it, using their own Google accounts for access. So Google's. And that's, that's a pretty big piece there, right? So you can literally embed Google's AI into an AI app that you create, but then it's like, okay, well who's ultimately paying for it? So as long as users have their own paid Google Gemini accounts, they can use it. So it's almost like you're spinning up a version of, you know, ChatGPT or Google Gemini with specific features or functionality and you can use it instantly in production, which is really cool. So Google's move here signals a push to make app development accessible to a wider audience, not just professional developers. Also, this launch puts Google in direct competition with other no code and low code platforms such as Cursor Lovable. Canva has their new AI app maker, Figma Replit. I mean, there's dozens of other companies and startup tools that are getting into the vibe coding. And also, you know, Google has had other kind of vibe coding tools. Right. But I think this is bringing it to an even less technical audience, if that makes sense. Also, I've been like pretty bullish on a simple feature that's been living inside of Google Gemini now for more than a month that we've shared about on our Put AI to Work on Wednesday series. Right. So if you're using Google Gemini, there's actually a very little wand icon in the lower right hand corner. If you're using a paid Google Gemini account, you can essentially embed Google Gemini into any web app that you're building inside Google Gemini super meta. Right. But it's been this little, this little icon and I've been saying for weeks now, that is one of my favorite features that I've seen of any platform and how I was kind of surprised that Google kind of snuck this out under the radar. And it seems like there were bigger plans for this all along. So it seems like that little feature or functionality inside Google Gemini is now getting a complete rollout via Opal, which makes sense, right? I'm like this is too good to be true to be kind of a hidden feature inside Google Gemini. So we'll definitely Opal let me know Live stream audience podcast people. You can actually leave a comment on the podcast. I can't reply to them, but let me know. Opal yes or Opal no? Should we do a a dedicated Opal show in the near future? I'll leave it up to you guys. Unofficial Unofficial vote via comments Right? So Opal yes, Opal no. Let me know if we should be covering it. All right, our next piece of AI news. According to the Financial Times, Nvidia's most powerful chips are still flooding China despite a US ban. So according to the Financial Times, at least $1 billion worth of banned Nvidia B200 and other advanced AI chips from the US based chip maker have been shipped to China since US export restrictions tightened in April. So the US government banned the export of China specific H20 GPUs and similarly powerful AMD Mi308 chips. But Chinese companies have reportedly been able to continue to access these products through secondary black markets and global trade loopholes. So specifically, if we're looking at Nvidia's B200 chip, which is one of the most powerful in the world and is especially in high demand globally, with prices in China's prices in China reaching up to 50% higher than US levels. So as an example, that's one rack of B200 GPUs is selling for 420,000 to up to a half million dollars, netting those resellers, those people on the black market, over $100,000 in profit per sale. So a pretty lucrative kind of gray market or black market business in bringing these banned chips from the US To China. So despite Nvidia and its affiliates not servicing or supporting officially these chips in China, growing demand and profit margins have fueled a thriving black market. So Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has downplayed the scale of unauthorized chip sales. But he and former U.S. commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo have both question the effectiveness of u US export controls of chip max chip sales to China, warning that they may actually backfire by accelerating China's domestic AI hardware development. So US Authorities are pressuring allies to crack down on smuggling. But it looks like that this hasn't happened yet. So pretty. I won't say interesting because we all knew this was happening, but some worthwhile and helpful reporting that's coming out that's just showing the scale of this. Also with the new White House AI Action Plan, this is extremely relevant. Speaking of that, that is our next piece of AI news. So President Donald Trump's White House has unveiled a 90 plus action, so 90 plus different action items in their new AI action plan and has signed three executive orders on AI launching over 90 government actions to accelerate AI innovation and outpace global competitors, especially in China. So this came in the middle of last week as the White House officially unveiled their White House AI Action Plan, which is structured around three main pillars, which is speeding up America's AI innovation, building up their tech infrastructure, and strengthening US leadership in international AI diplomacy and security. So I. Well, it's pretty simple what they're doing here. The three pillars are three eyes. Innovation, infrastructure and international leadership. So key actions in the White House AI Action Plan include updating federal procurement rules to require agencies to purchase only ideological neutral AI. That's a, that's going to be a mess. Removing federal regulatory barriers around AI and limiting federal funding to states that decide to regulate AI on their own. So one executive order entitled Preventing Woke AI in the federal government kind of, or, you know, called that anyways, mandates that agencies only use AI systems that are deemed unbiased by the administration and directs the Office of Management and Budget to issue new guidance for AI assessment. The plan specifically targets the removal of references to misinformation DEI initiatives which are diversity, equity and inclusion and climate change from federal AI guidelines. With a senior official calling DEI the main target. The administration will consider a state AI regulatory climate when making funding decisions, which is definitely going to be challenged in court because this is going to reduce federal support for states that decide to legislate AI on their own. So previously the Trump White House tried to pass this in their budget, which was nicknamed the Big beautiful bill, but U.S. senators knocked that provision down by a 99 to 1 vote. Right. So essentially they tried to pass this in legislation. It got shot down. That said if states decide to make AI laws, they wouldn't be eligible for any federal funding. So now this is part of this executive order and the White House action plan that says the federal government can decide not to give a state federal funding. So yes, sorry, global listeners, things work a little differently here in the U.S. right. So different states obviously get funding from the federal government. So this allows the federal government to withhold funding if certain agencies are using what they decide is either woke AI or if individual states pass AI laws and regulations. Right. So it gives the federal government sweeping authority, which we kind of broke this down. So I'm not going to get into all my hot takes on this one. So if you want that, make sure to go listen to episode 574 from Thursday when we go over the AI action plan in more detail. But yeah, expect actually a lot of Republican infighting on this one. So whatever Republican state decides to regulate and legislate AI first, there's going to be some, some federal funding fights and probably some legal challenges. Also because a lot of Civilization Society organizations, including the center for Democracy and Technology, have criticized the plan for overlooking responsible AI development and for provisions that could penalize states and dictate what is considered truthful AI. So yeah, I would assume a lot of legal challenges and a lot of Republican infighting on this one in the months to come. All right, yeah, so good, good question here. Are you still running in circles trying to figure out how to actually grow your business with AI? Maybe your company has been tinkering with large language models for a year or more, but can't really get traction to find ROI on Gen AI? Hey, this is Jordan Wilson, host of this very podcast. Companies like Adobe, Microsoft and Nvidia have partnered with us because they trust our expertise in educating the masses around generative AI to get ahead. And some of the most innovative companies in the country hire us to help with their AI strategy and to train hundreds of their employees on how to use Gen AI. So whether you're looking for ChatGPT training for thousands or just need help building your front end AI strategy, you can partner with us too. Just like some of the biggest companies in the world do. Go to your everydayai.com partner to get in contact with our team or you can just click on the partner section of our website. We'll help you stop running in those AI circles and help get your team ahead and build a straight path to ROI on Gen AI. From Graham. Just saying, like, how do you think they're going to be able to police this? Yeah, it's going to be the Wild west, right? I think the White House, it depends on how much noise that they want to make and what else is happening on the political climate, to tell you the truth. Right. I have a little bit of a background in, you know, I covered politics, you know, for the Chicago Sun Times at the federal state in a little. Or sorry, at the state level in a little bit on the federal side. So I do have a little bit of experience in this. But it honestly depends, right? It depends on how quickly some of these legal challenges are going to go through if anything in here is ultimately going to get overturned. Right. Because so much of what happened in the White House AI Action Plan was actually just by executive order and by essentially dangling federal funding in front of states. So we'll see how these legal challenges play out in the courts because there will be many legal challenges to the new White House AI Action plan. All right, next, Microsoft is following suit with Google getting in on the AI vibe coding. So Microsoft own GitHub has released a public preview of GitHub Spark, a new AI powered feature that allows users to turn natural language ideas into full stack apps in minutes. So right now Spark is available to GitHub Copilot Pro plus subscribers for $39 per month or $390 per year, with users getting up to 375 messages per month and a limit of 10 active app building sessions at a time. So interestingly enough, this tool leverages Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4 as an available model and allows users, even non technical users, to just use plain English and also provide a visual editing environment or assist with traditional manual coding. Once an app is published inside GitHub users can publish it to or create a new GitHub repo with a single click streamlining the process from idea to deployment. So interesting one here from Microsoft and GitHub making this only available right now to GitHub Pro plus users. Although according to GitHub they did say Spark will be made available to non co Pilot Pro plus users. That's a mouthful by the way, in the coming weeks. So essentially you have Microsoft and Google, the two biggest players in the enterprise tech space, going all in on the same week with Vibe coding apps, right? I would be, if I'm being honest here, I'm going to give the edge to Google here, right? Because right now even though I I do think obviously more developers are using GitHub in using GitHub Copilot right now, I, I do think Microsoft's pricing here in their rollout doesn't make a ton of sense, especially if you compare it head to head. So Microsoft's main advantage Here is, well, GitHub, right? Literally any developer uses GitHub, right? So the GitHub repository and being able to work directly with that is a huge advantage to Microsoft Copilot and GitHub as well. But I think Google with the pricing, making so many of their Vibe coding tools available for free or free 99 at least for me personally. I'm going to be following their Vibe coding tool a little more closely with Opal than I will GitHub copilot spark all right, more Google news our next AI news story is Google is now reaching out and trying to pilot a new licensing program amid search traffic decline. So Google is now reportedly reaching out to 20 national news outlets with licensing deals to train its AI models, according to reporting from Bloomberg, marking a significant change in strategy as competitors like OpenAI and Perplexity secure individual publishing partnerships. So this move comes as Google's share of the global search market has dropped below 90% in six of the past seven months, which hasn't happened in more than a decade. And that's according to similar web so essentially there's been a huge uptick in ChatGPT search traffic, people using ChatGPT and Perplexity and other AI search engines, or AI chatbots as search engine which has cut into Google's traditional search traffic. So now news publishers have expressed concern that Google's new AI Overview features, which summarize news above traditional search results, could reduce their organic search traffic by up to 60% as users get information without clicking through to publisher sites. And a new Pew Research study shows that traditional kind of blue links get about a 15% click rate, whereas those in AI summaries get less than that at about 7%. So these numbers, with publishers saying they're losing about 60% of traffic, are checking out on the research side as well. So according in with some examples, according to SimilarWebs data, the Wall Street Journal's share of overall search traffic has fallen from 29 to 24 over the past years, while the New York Times share of organic search traffic in their individual websites has dropped from 44% to 30 36%. And you might say, oh, that's a 5% percentage drop. Well, yes it is, but those are, you know, roughly 20% drops individually in their own kind of makeup of traffic to their website, which is huge. So until now, Google's only major licensing deals were with the Associated Press and Reddit, while OpenAI has partnered with a ton of publishers, including Conde Nast, the Atlantic and Perplexity has deals with the LA Times and the Independent as well as others. So Google's new pilot project, which includes initiatives like its Pinpoint research tool, journalism AI Innovation Challenge and newsroom training for its Gemini app and other tools, signals a push for Google to repair relationships with publishers whose Content is vital for Google, both search and for AI development. According to Google's blog post, the company is exploring and experimenting with new types of partnerships and product experiences, but has not shared specific details about its plan or conversations with publishers. And y', all, I've been saying this literally for two plus years. I said for major publishers there's only three options. Number one, you strike a deal with Google, OpenAI, Perplexity, Claude, et cetera, that's number one. Number two, you sue them, right? Which we've seen plenty. Or number three, you potentially go out of business. There's literally no other way that this shakes out. But this is the first time that we've seen a more partnership approach at large from Google with this new, this new kind of push going after 20 national news outlets at once. So we'll definitely be following this because it's actually really important not just for how we all search the web because that's chaining changing and it's going to AI first, right? And we're using these AI chatbots and you know, probably Google AI overviews or AI mode to do business related research. But then also on the publisher end, right? So many companies, not even just online publishers, their models, right? Even look at everyday AI. For example, our business model is we put out as much free information as possible. We hope that people discover it right, on Google search or on YouTube, whatever, and then we hope that they subscribe to our newsletter, right? That's our way to monetize, right? However, even our stuff, right, we're, we're a smaller, you know, publishing company. Our stuff is in all the AI, you know, search engines. So it's, it's something that affects even your business, right? You probably don't know how your company, right, Unless you're in marketing, advertising or something like that. But so many companies that even you wouldn't think, you know, thrive from SEO, thrive from lead gen, you know, from different marketing funnels. This is so many companies playbook and it's really been flipped on its head right now because you're getting, and your, your potential customers are getting all of these answers without ever visiting websites now. And we'll see how this plays out because you know, Perplexity and OpenAI, you know, as an example, are starting to roll out checkout features in app so you won't even have to leave, you know, OpenAI's ChatGPT or perplexity to shop for things now. So you know, there still will be a way I think for people who sell digital or sorry, who sell physical goods to still compete without sending users to their website. But this is actually a lot bigger than most people realize. All right, our next piece of AI news. Microsoft's Clippy is kind of making an AI version come back because Microsoft has launched a visual avatar for its Copilot AI chatbot, giving its Copilot character or avatar real time facial expressions, gestures and conversational memory. So the freshly rolled out Copilot appearance is what it's called right now. It's available as an early preview inside of Copilot Labs and is currently limited to just the web version of Copilot. So essentially there's a cutesy little raindrops shaped little robot character that users can talk to and you can activate the active the avatar by entering voice mode inside Copilot online, clicking on the microphone icon, then toggling on Copilot appearance in voice settings. So when enabled, Copilot responds to voice inputs with smiles, nods and other nonverbal cues, aiming to make conversations more natural and engaging. So Microsoft's AI team, led by Mustafa Solomon says the goal is to give Copilot a lasting identity, presence, and even a digital room where it lives and ages. So this marks Microsoft's latest attempt to humanize its digital assistants, following earlier attempts from decades ago like the animated Clippy, which was often criticized for being intrusive. So right now the feature is only live for select users in the United States, UK and Canada, with no timeline yet for a global rollout. Aside from being available online via Microsoft Copilot inside Copilot Labs, what do you guys think? You guys excited to see a, in kind of an AI version of Clippy make a comeback? I don't know. For me, at least when it comes to interacting, you know, with different AI, you know, voice assistants, I don't need the cutesy animations, the drawn out, that's me. I know some people like it. You know, if, if I'm talking to a voice assistant, I want it to be direct, I want it to be fast, I don't want it to be, you know, overly verbose and you know, give me a 900 word answer when I'm looking for nine words. So at least for me, the, the new copilot appearance, probably not something I'm going to be personally benefiting from. I could be wrong, right? As it starts to roll out, you know, kind of this aging thing in where it better understands your conversational history. But at least on the surface, I'm not here for it. Maybe people are, I don't know, maybe people Miss Clippy. All right, our next piece of AI news, which I've been saying has been coming for a very long time. Netflix has announced that it used generative AI for the first time in one of its blockbuster original scripted TV shows. So the milestone happened in its new original series, L Eternuta. Hopefully I got that right. I haven't watched it yet. So it's L Eternata. I think that's how it's pronounced. We'll see an Argentine science fiction series on Netflix where AI powered tools helped them create a building collapse sequence in Buenos Aires. So according to Netflix Co CEO Ted Sarandos, the AI enabled visual effects sequence was completed 10 times faster than it would be with traditional visual effects methods. So the show itself Featured a staggering 2000 virtual effects shots. And its visual effects quality generated significant buzz after the series premiered in late April. So Netflix claimed that AI will only be used to lower cost and speed up production, but also make advanced visual effects like de aging accessible to more creators, not just big budget projects. So Netflix has previously faced criticisms for its AI use, including AI manipulated images in documentaries and reconstructing the voice reconstructing the voice of a murder victim. So the use of AI in film and TV remains controversial, with ongoing concerns about job security for actors and artists, as well as the artistic integrity of AI generated content. So other streaming platforms such as Amazon are also experimenting with AI, using it for show recaps, content recommendations, and voice debugging. So Netflix has also, according to Bloomberg, started using video generating AI from the startup Runway for content production, although that tool was not used in this case in El Eternata. So, no, I've been saying this for more than a year. AI generated video is going to be the norm, right? And we're going to start seeing it without even knowing, which is in this case. So actually, the visual effects for this show have gotten positive reviews, right? Which is why a lot of people were kind of up in arms when it was revealed that Netflix used generative AI video tools to help create some of these visual effects scenes, y'. All. I think it started honestly with the rollout of certain video features in Adobe's platforms where you could use generative AI to extend a scene by four seconds. But I do assume that by this time next year, a good percentage of the TV shows and movies that we watch on the big screen are going to have elements of generative AI, right? I don't think, you know, we're going to have entire blockbuster films created by AI, but it's going to be commonplace for certain segments, maybe even entire scenes to be AI generated. And most users are not going to know the difference because AI video has gotten so much better recently. And if we're being honest, if you compare it to text generation, it's a little expensive, right? So this is one of those areas that the big players are actually able to monetize. Where we've seen reports when it comes to AI chatbots, some of these big AI labs are actually running them at a deficit, but the most powerful AI video tools in the world are a little bit more expensive. So I do think that it's, they've kind of found a good product market fit here. And I do see that continuing to be the trend over the next couple of years. And I've said this, you're going to be watching entire AI shorts, I don't think. You know, by this time next year we're going to be watching entire, you know, blockbuster films that are AI generated, but they will all have AI generated scenes. AI generated effects, essentially, when it costs, you know, a company millions of dollars or multiple months when they have to go reshoot something, right, for a couple, you know, 10 different 10 second scenes, they're just going to use AI, right? And the majority of audiences are not going to know the difference. All right, our last piece of AI news, the AI driven fraud crisis is coming. So OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has just issued a strong warning about the risk of AI driven scams and impersonation, speaking at a Federal Reserve event attended by major US financial institutions. So Altman told the Federal Reserve that AI has already defeated the most current authentication methods except passwords, and called it crazy that some financial institutions still rely on voice authentication to move money. Because AI can literally copy anyone's voice without any needed authentication, right? Anyone in seconds can copy and clone anyone's voice on the Internet, Right. It's not exactly legal to do, but it's extremely easy. So Altman warned the group that the world is on the edge of a quote, unquote, significant impending fraud crisis with AI powered voice and video impersonation scams already targeting parents and even high level government officials, which we shared about on the show a couple of weeks ago. So the FBI has previously cautioned about these AI cloning scams and US officials recently reported an AI generated voice impersonating Secretary of State Marco Rubio in attempts to contact the foreign ministers and politicians. Yeah, it's going to happen and plenty of people are going to be duped by this. I would say in the next year until it is really widely known how good AI voice cloning and even video cloning is. Right. I think we live, if you're listening to this podcast, watching the live stream, I think we kind of live in an AI bubble and we just assume that everyone knows that anyone can go back, clone anyone's voice in seconds and make it sound indistinguishable from the real person. And the same thing with video. But here's the reality. 99% of the global population has no clue that this technology exists at the level that it exists now. It is very hard to tell the difference between what is real and what is AI generated. So OpenAI is expanding its policy presence, announcing a new Washington D.C. office to work with the federal government on AI policy, train government officials and research the economic impact of AI. So despite these risks, OpenAI has urged the Trump administration to avoid regulations that would make it harder for US companies to compete globally, especially against China. So, yeah, you kind of have these two competing storylines here, right? So Sam Altman essentially warning federal officials that these AI generated fraud is going to lead to a crisis. Yet at the same time, the White House essentially gave big Tech a free pass to build AI however quickly they can. So part of it makes sense on the surface, right? Regulation is going to slow down the global AI race. And let me tell you this, the global AI race, it's not about the military, it's not about, you know, precious materials, gold, silver, it's not about oil, it is about AI. It is about the most powerful chips, number one in the most powerful models. Right? That is the future of global superpowers is whoever wins in AI, whoever achieves artificial general intelligence, artificial super intelligence first gets an unfair advantage for probably years or decades when it comes to being a global superpower. So pretty interesting story here because Sam Altman on one side is trying to warn, rightfully so, the federal government, that we are going to see an impending AI driven fraud crisis. Yet at the same time, all the big tech companies don't want to be regulated. And it looks like the White House isn't going to regulate them. So what this is ultimately going to lead to is a pretty huge AI fraud crisis. So Altman's comments came, like I said, at the same time as the White House unveiled its AI action plan.
