Hello There!

Meta has hired Andrew Tulloch, co-founder of Thinking Machines, as Zuckerberg keeps adding AI talent despite missing some big deals. Apple is close to buying people and tech from Prompt AI, OpenAI is working to make ChatGPT less biased, and Microsoft is giving Copilot new powers to create Office files and connect with Gmail.

AI is driving new talent shifts, sharpening fairness, and boosting productivity tools.

Meta has hired Andrew Tulloch, the co-founder of Mira Murati’s $12B AI startup Thinking Machines Lab. Murati, who left OpenAI earlier this year, quickly turned her company into a global rival. But now Zuckerberg has convinced Tulloch to return to Meta, giving his AI push a major boost.

šŸ“ŒThe Download

  • Andrew Tulloch and Mira Murati started Thinking Machines Lab in early 2025. The company raised $2B in seed funding and drew talent from OpenAI, aiming to compete head-to-head with the biggest tech players. Tulloch’s exit marks the first major leadership loss at the young startup. 

  • Mark Zuckerberg personally led the hiring effort and offered Tulloch a huge deal. Reports mentioned a package worth $1.5B over 6 years, although Meta later called those figures ā€œinaccurate.ā€ Even without confirmation, the numbers show how aggressively Meta is paying to win the AI race.

  • This move is part of a larger plan. Meta tried but failed to buy companies such as Perplexity and Thinking Machines itself. Instead, it is building a new AI Superintelligence Lab by pulling top engineers away from rivals. Tulloch worked at Meta for 11 years before joining OpenAI, so his return signals that Zuckerberg’s strategy is already working.

šŸ’”What This Means for You

The future of AI will be shaped by who controls the best people. If Meta keeps attracting top builders like Tulloch, the apps and tools you use every day may come from Zuckerberg’s empire instead of rival startups. For anyone using AI at work, this talent war will decide what lands on your screen next.

Apple is close to taking over the team and technology of Prompt AI, a small computer vision startup. Prompt built an app called Seemour that could describe what home cameras were seeing. Apple wants the people and the ideas, and this deal could make its devices a lot smarter in the way they see and understand the world.

šŸ“ŒThe Download

  • At a staff meeting, Prompt AI leaders told about 11 employees that the deal with Apple is nearly done. Some workers will join Apple while others will face pay cuts but are encouraged to apply for open jobs. Investors will get paid back a little, but not their full investment.

  • Prompt AI launched the Seemour app in 2023. It linked to home cameras and answered questions like ā€œWho is at the doorā€ or ā€œDid the dog come inside.ā€ With Apple stepping in, the app will shut down and user data will be deleted. The same technology may appear inside iPhones, Vision Pro headsets, or Apple’s smart home products.

  • The startup raised $5M in seed funding from AIX Ventures and Abstract Ventures. However, its business struggled to grow. Reports say Elon Musk’s xAI and Neuralink also showed interest before Apple. This move comes as Apple races against Google and Amazon, both of which are already investing heavily in computer vision and AI.

šŸ’”What This Means for You

Apple is buying talent and technology instead of waiting to build it. That means AI features for security, cameras, and smart homes may reach you sooner than expected. The bigger question is how much control Apple will have over the future of AI tools you use every day.

🧠The Pulse

OpenAI says GPT-5 is closer than ever to being politically neutral. The company tested it for months using prompts on divisive issues like abortion and immigration. Results show bias is now rare. This could make you more confident when asking ChatGPT about sensitive or controversial topics.

šŸ“ŒThe Download

  • OpenAI created more than 100 test prompts in liberal, conservative, and neutral tones. Topics included culture, identity, rights, and laws. Models like GPT-4o, o3, and GPT-5 were tested. Another AI graded the answers using clear rules that flagged bias such as emotional language, one-sided framing, or dismissive quotes.

  • GPT-5 scored about 30% better than older models. OpenAI says fewer than 0.01% of real user chats show political slant. Independent studies tell a different story. A Stanford report found both Republicans and Democrats still see AI models like ChatGPT as leaning left. This shows perception is harder to fix than code.

  • OpenAI is publishing its testing method and a ā€œmodel specā€ that explains how ChatGPT should behave. The move comes after years of criticism, mainly from conservative users, that the chatbot favored liberal views. With this push, OpenAI wants to prove neutrality can be tested, tracked, and improved.

šŸ’”What This Means for You

Whenever you ask ChatGPT about politics, culture, or social debates, the answers may now feel more balanced. This makes everyday use, from homework to debates with friends, less one-sided. But even with improvements, bias can slip in, so it’s smart to double-check before you trust.

You can now ask Copilot on Windows to write a Word document, build an Excel sheet, or fetch an email from Gmail, and it will do it inside the chat. Microsoft just gave Copilot the power to create files and connect to Gmail, Outlook, and Google services.

šŸ“ŒThe Download

  • The update is rolling out first to Windows Insiders on version 1.25095.161.0 and higher. General Windows 11 users will get it soon after. You can link Gmail, Outlook, Google Drive, Google Calendar, Google Contacts, and OneDrive through Connectors. Once connected, Copilot can bring up your emails, files, or meetings when you ask.

  • Every Copilot reply longer than 600 characters now shows an export button. With one click you can create a Word doc, Excel sheet, PowerPoint slide, or PDF. This means no more copying and pasting. Copilot turns your chat into a ready file that opens directly in the right app.

  • Linking accounts is optional but powerful. For example, you can say find last week’s notes in Drive or show Sarah’s email address. Microsoft says early feedback from Insiders will guide the wider release. The company is also preparing a redesigned OneDrive app for 2026 with AI-driven search, editing tools, and slideshows, showing its push to make Windows a full AI workspace.

šŸ’”What This Means for You

This update changes how you use your computer every day. No more juggling between apps or wasting clicks. Copilot can write your files, find your emails, and manage your calendar for you. The real question is how much of your life you are ready to let AI handle.

Reinventing Organizations by Frederic Laloux is a groundbreaking exploration of how companies can transcend traditional hierarchies and operate with unprecedented purpose, trust, and adaptability. Instead of prescribing a one-size-fits-all model, Laloux draws on real-world examples of pioneering organizations to show what the future of work can look like.

  • From Hierarchies to Self-Management – Most organizations run on command-and-control, where authority sits at the top. Laloux demonstrates how companies thrive when decision-making is decentralized and teams self-organize. This isn’t chaos—it’s structured autonomy. By distributing power, organizations unlock speed, creativity, and ownership, allowing employees to bring their best selves to work.

  • Evolutionary Purpose, Not Just Profit – Instead of chasing endless growth, Laloux urges leaders to orient around a deeper sense of purpose. Organizations that see themselves as living systems evolve naturally in response to changing environments. This shift from rigid planning to purpose-driven adaptability creates companies that are resilient, mission-aligned, and inspiring for both employees and stakeholders.

  • Wholeness at Work – Traditional workplaces often ask employees to leave parts of themselves at the door. Laloux highlights how leading-edge organizations invite people to show up fully—emotionally, creatively, and authentically. By fostering cultures of trust, safety, and inclusivity, these companies unleash human potential in ways that rigid corporate cultures cannot.

šŸ’” Why you can’t ignore this:

In a world where agility, innovation, and employee engagement are competitive advantages, Reinventing Organizations provides a blueprint for building workplaces that feel less like machines and more like living, breathing ecosystems. Laloux’s insights challenge leaders to move beyond outdated management playbooks and embrace new forms of collaboration, purpose, and wholeness.
