GPT-5 & OpenAI Open Weights / Genie-3 Worlds / 1-Day Gene Editing / Robot Dogs / RtoA #7

In this episode of The Road to Abundance, Gordon Mullan and Govind Shukla dive into one of the most explosive weeks in AI so far. OpenAI stunned the community with a rare double launch, releasing GPT-5 alongside brand-new open-weights models, and the ripple effects are already being felt across the tech world. DeepMind’s Genie-3 is here too, offering playable, promptable, physically consistent worlds that could change how games and simulations are built. We also explore how CRISPR-GPT is turning complete beginners into gene-editing experts in just a single day, and why some jaw-dropping robot dog demos are making people wonder if it’s time to rethink where this is all heading.
