#193: AGI Talk at Davos, Amazon Layoffs, AI for Course Creation, OpenAI Cybersecurity Warning, New Claude Constitution & Credit-Based AI Pricing

World leaders and tech titans are debating AGI timelines at Davos, but Amazon’s latest moves suggest the disruption is already here. Paul Roetzer and Mike Kaput dissect the disconnect between the "powerful AI" promised by labs and the labor market "tsunami" warned by the IMF. From the White House’s "Great Divergence" report to Anthropic’s new 84-page Constitution and xAI’s "human emulators," we explore the friction between technological acceleration and human adaptation. Plus, a look behind the curtain at how SmarterX uses AI to build courses at scale. Show Notes: Access the show notes and show links here Click here to take this week's AI Pulse.
