Here's your Lindy Briefing on OpenAI:
THE SIGNAL: OpenAI has finalized a corporate reorganization with backing from Microsoft, and is partnering with Broadcom to develop custom AI chips. CEO Sam Altman anticipates exiting "code red" by January following the release of the GPT-5.2 model.
THE FRICTION: Sources disagree on the severity of potential misuse of OpenAI's Sora. Some outlets, like Al Jazeera, highlight the risk of disinformation and legal action, citing a lawsuit alleging the technology enabled a murder-suicide, while others focus on the potential for verified adults to create erotica using ChatGPT.
THE NOISE: Reports of a "boomer-doomer divide" within OpenAI, while potentially reflective of internal debates, lack concrete evidence and are largely based on anecdotal accounts. Similarly, the timeline and impact of the rumored AI music-generation tool remain speculative.
