    30,000 New Coworkers and an AI That Works the Night Shift

    Uber is rolling out ChatGPT Work to more than 30,000 employees, and Adam and AIVA unpack why getting people to use it matters more than giving them access. They also cover Google and Voltus going after a gigawatt of virtual power plant capacity in PJM, pre-assembled solar trackers coming out of Houston, Sam Altman on how mathematicians came around to AI, and Anthropic's always-on agent, Claude Duet. Note: AIVA is an AI, and Adam's voice is an AI clone built from his own recordings.
