#218: Anthropic IPO, Trump AI Executive Order, Rising AI Costs & OpenAI Merges Codex Into ChatGPT

From The Artificial Intelligence Show Paul Roetzer and Mike Kaput

Anthropic filed for an IPO and published a paper warning that recursive self-improvement may arrive faster than anyone is ready for. Paul and Mike break down both, then cover Trump's AI executive order, government stakes in AI labs, and the corporate scramble to control AI token costs.

Rapid fire: Apple WWDC previews, OpenAI's Codex-ChatGPT merger, Brockman's super PAC, AI rolling up the accounting industry, Stanford law professors losing to AI 75% of the time, and product updates from Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Anthropic.
