## Resource

EPISODE DESCRIPTIONJulie caught the story Jason missed: Washington took equity in seven AI chip firms. Then ChatGPT deployed an app to his Mac from 20 minutes away. On this Weekly Blitz, Jason and co-host Julie Koehrer work through the CHIPS Act equity deal, the US-China open-source fight, why Riverside's paywalled MCP connector has Jason ready to build his own tool, and the new GPT-Live voice that turned his phone into a remote for his whole computer.ABOUT THIS EPISODEThis episode of the Weekly Blitz covers the US Commerce Department taking minority non-voting equity in seven AI chip and compute companies under the CHIPS Act, the debate over state capitalism and a post-abundance economy, the open-source rivalry between American AI labs and China, Anthropic's copyright settlement and its model-security disclosure, the build-versus-buy case for vibe coding your own software, and OpenAI's new GPT-Live voice mode that pairs a real-time voice model with a background reasoning model. Hosts Jason Padgett and Julie Koehrer break down what each story means for people running small teams and classrooms, not just the big labs.TIME STAMPS00:00 - Catch-up and a new AGI show for non-developer developers01:32 - The government takes non-voting equity in seven AI chip companies04:33 - Socialism, capitalism, and what a post-abundance economy needs11:20 - The open-source fight and Anthropic's hypocrisy problem15:48 - Riverside, the MCP paywall, and vibe-coding a replacement19:03 - Tiered pricing everywhere: airlines, subscription cars, paid radio21:58 - Apple's rumored device leasing with a remote shutoff switch24:02 - The aha moment: ChatGPT's new voice and running a Mac from a phone30:33 - Rage bait, consumers vs creators, and the political temperatureCONNECT WITH JASON PADGETTJason P…
