💬 Summary

To everyone out there working on groundbreaking AI research…

Let’s break it down:

• OpenAI researchers helped build the most valuable model IP on the planet. They got six figures and a mission patch. Microsoft got the exclusive license. Sam got a multi-billion-dollar for-profit arm and total control.

• Zuck shows up and offers those same researchers $100M+ to switch stories. No nonprofit halo, no saving humanity. Just compute, comp, and “build God with us.”

• Sam cries foul. Why? Because the myth breaks: 1 that you’re part of a meritocracy 2 that you’re “on the journey” 3 that it’s about ideals, not exits.

Meanwhile…

• Scale AI workers in the Philippines were getting ghosted on pay while tagging data for $2/hr. Alexandr Wang becomes a billionaire. Meta buys half the company. Lays off 200. Wang walks into a new gig.

• Anthropic and OpenAI staff who helped push frontier alignment? They watched their orgs raise at $15–80B valuations and get nothing unless they were on the secret early cap table.

• Google DeepMind researchers? They’ve shipped more papers than any other lab. Most of them will retire with zero startup upside, while Google repackages their work as “Gemini.”

What happened?

Tech work used to come with a story: “You’re an owner. You’re early. You’ll make it.”

But that’s done. Today’s tech worker is pre-union labor in a zero-equity gig economy with a gold badge.

You’re just in time labor for capital-scale compute. And you’re still being told you’re a chosen one.

⸻

Who wins?

• Founders who lock the cap table before Series B

• VCs with double-digit preferences

• Corporates like Microsoft and Meta, who now own the model stacks and the labor

Everyone else? You’re a smart mercenary with branding issues.

⸻

Zuck isn’t the villain here in fact he’s briefly rebalancing things.

Sam’s mad because the theater curtain fell—and half the cast walked off stage for a better

💬 Summary

Isa Fulford, the research lead for OpenAI’s new ChatGPT agent, needed to order a bunch of cupcakes, so she asked the AI tool to do it for her. “I was very specific about what I wanted, and it was a lot of cupcakes,” she says. “That one took almost an hour—but it was easier than me doing it myself, because I didn't want to do it.” OpenAI has launched a new agent for ChatGPT that uses a virtual browser to complete tasks and can generate downloadable files, specifically PowerPoint presentations and Excel spreadsheets. While not a full replacement for the Microsoft suite of workplace tools, the features included in this agent from OpenAI could obviate some users’ reliance on Microsoft’s...
