🧠 The Memos Behind Sam Altman’s Ousting

New details have surfaced about what really happened during Sam Altman’s dramatic removal from OpenAI in November 2023.

A 52-page memo written by co-founder Ilya Sutskever accused Altman of dishonesty and manipulation.

The memo claimed Altman pitted executives against each other, including Mira Murati (OpenAI) and Daniela Amodei (Anthropic).

Apparently, discussions were even held about a possible OpenAI–Anthropic merger, with Dario Amodei potentially leading a combined company.

According to Sutskever’s testimony, Altman’s removal had been considered for over a year before it actually happened.

👉 Why it matters:

These memos reveal how fragile OpenAI’s leadership was — and how easily the AI world could have taken a completely different direction.

📊 Enterprise AI Adoption Is Skyrocketing

A new Wharton School survey of 800 U.S. executives shows that AI tools are rapidly becoming essential in business.

Most-used tools: ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, followed by Gemini, Meta AI, and Amazon Q.

Top business uses: data analytics, meeting summaries, reports, presentations, and marketing content.

73 % of companies now measure AI ROI through productivity and profit.

88 % plan to increase AI budgets next year.

More than 60 % already have a Chief AI Officer.

👉 Takeaway:

AI isn’t just hype anymore — it’s becoming a core part of everyday business operations.

🤝 “Human-First” AI Startup Raises Big

Former xAI researcher Eric Zelikman is raising $1 billion at a $5 billion valuation for his new startup Humans&.

The company aims to create human-centered AI, focusing on collaboration between people and machines rather than replacing humans.

This reflects a growing movement toward AI augmentation instead of automation.

👉 Why it matters:

It’s a sign that investors are backing a more balanced, human-focused vision for AI’s future — and the funding shows the market’s excitement isn’t slowing down.
