Summary
We maybe have a roadmap for GPT-5, but also, is it not really GPT-5 just a renaming of what they already have in the pipeline? It’s kind of weird. Elon gives his conditions for dropping his takeover bid. Utility companies say the AI hype is real, but what if, in the end, the end users don’t actually show up?

| 0:25.9 | Here's what you miss today in the world of tech. |
| 0:33.1 | The whole Elon bid thing has sucked up all the attention, but in the background, |
| 0:37.3 | this has |
