The kicker? The model selector still shows 4.0, which made users feel like they were being gaslit. It’s now confirmed there’s a “safety routing” system at play, and the whole thing has left a subset of die-hard 4.0 fans fuming, while the other 699 million ChatGPT users probably haven’t even noticed. It’s a small drama, but one that neatly sums up OpenAI’s slightly slippery comms style. Then it was onto the big layoff news: Accenture cutting 11,000 jobs in the name of “AI restructuring.” On the face of it, that’s a lot of livelihoods gone, but in context it’s 0.14% of their enormous workforce, and possibly more about trimming fat than AI’s march. Apple also gets a mention, dusting off Siri with plans for a large language model refresh, reportedly arriving next year under the code name Veritas. Classic Apple: late to the party, but with the potential to swoop in and polish the rough edges once the rest have done the awkward experimenting. —— More Useful Resources —— My other daily live show - 30-day building a business in public challenge: https://www.youtube.com/live/Z0Z_1Eg3HUk (day one) Free AI Entrepreneurship Playbooks: https://aiwithkyle.com/catalog Free Quiz: What AI business should you start? https://aiwithkyle.com/tools Free AI Training Business Planner: https://aiwithkyle.com/tools/workshop-builder Free 10-Week ‘Vibe Coding’ AI Summer Camp: https://aiwithkyle.com/courses/10-week-ai-summer-camp —— Time Stamps —— 00:00 Introduction & Show Overview 00:00 What we're covering 01:58 OpenAI Secretly Switching GPT-4o to GPT-5 09:20 Accenture Cuts 11,000 Jobs Due to AI 16:27 OpenDoor CEO's Aggressive AI-First Mandate 21:34 Q&A: Getting Clients for Micro SaaS 25:58 GDP-Val: New AI Benchmark for Economic Tasks 30:01 Apple's Secret ChatGPT Rival App "Veritas" 37:07 Wrap-Up & Where to Find More Content —— Contact —— Best is in YouTube comments.
