So… is ChatGPT actually coming for your job? In this episode, I walk you through the GPT-5 release, what’s new, what’s noise, and why I think most folks won’t even notice a difference. We’ll talk about how AI is being used at work, why the headlines can be misleading, where the tech still falls short, and why job-loss predictions are far from straightforward.

  • OpenAI’s “phD-level intelligence” claim
  • New email and calendar integration
