Summary
July 9, 2026: OpenAI released its new GPT 5.6 lineup, Elon Musk's xAI launched Grok 4.5, and GPT Live showed where voice-based AI may be heading next. Then I get into Uber's Agentic Pods, where the company is embedding AI-proficient engineers inside legal, finance, and HR even as leadership admits it still can't prove the ROI. Finally, I look at the Brown University AI cheating scandal, where students averaged 96 on a take-home midterm and then collapsed to 48 on an in-person final, and why this should worry every leader thinking about AI, skill, and judgment.
