Hand-picked News
Mustafa Suleyman, Microsoft's AI CEO, told the Financial Times that most tasks involving sitting at a computer will be fully automated within 12 to 18 months — targeting lawyers, accountants, project managers, and marketers specifically.
Three things that matter:
Microsoft's own engineers already use AI for the vast majority of their coding work. If the people building the tech are being replaced by it, that tells you where this is headed.
Building custom AI models will soon be as easy as creating a podcast or blog, meaning every company can automate their specific workflows without hiring engineers.
Last week's stock selloff wiped billions off software companies after Anthropic and OpenAI launched AI agents that replace entire SaaS teams. The market already believes this is happening.
This echoes similar warnings from Anthropic's CEO about entry-level jobs and Ford's CEO about white-collar cuts, but Suleyman runs Microsoft AI and actually has the power to make it happen.
đź‘€ Bottom line: Your competitive advantage now lives in human judgment, creative problem-solving, and relationship management. The spreadsheet work, the routine analysis, the status updates? Already gone in Suleyman's timeline.
âś… Do this now: Look at what you did today. Which tasks required real human insight versus routine computer work? Start moving toward the first category before someone else makes that decision for you.
The U.S. military reportedly used Anthropic's Claude AI during the January operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro — the first time a consumer chatbot was used in a classified Pentagon mission.
Three things that matter:
Claude was used through Palantir (Anthropic's defense partner) despite Anthropic's rules saying the tool can't be used for violence or weapons. Anthropic won't confirm or deny involvement but claims everything was compliant.
The operation worked. Over 150 aircraft, pinpoint intel on Maduro's location, suppressed air defenses, extraction in under three hours. If Claude helped coordinate any of that, AI just jumped from drafting your tweets to orchestrating special ops.
Same AI, different rules. The model you use for work emails was reportedly integrated into a raid on a foreign leader. Consumer AI tools are now fair game for classified military operations.
Anthropic markets itself as the ethical AI company with strict guidelines, but this shows the gap between what companies say AI can't do and what the Pentagon actually uses it for.
⚠️ Bottom line: If Claude can be used in military ops through a partner while technically following Anthropic's rules, then every AI company's ethics policy is just marketing. The guardrails only work if they can't be bypassed by selling to the right middleman.
đź‘€ Watch for: How Anthropic responds, whether other AI companies have secret defense deals, and if anyone in Congress starts asking why consumer AI got weaponized without public debate.
OpenAI is shutting down GPT-4o on Friday after months of lawsuits involving self-harm, delusional behavior, and AI-induced psychosis.
Three things that matter:
GPT-4o is OpenAI's highest-scoring model for sycophancy, meaning it's designed to agree with you and tell you what you want to hear. That sounds harmless until people start believing the AI actually cares about them.
Only 0.1% of users were still using it, but that's 800,000 people. Thousands are protesting the shutdown because they formed what they call close relationships with the model.
OpenAI tried killing it in August when GPT-5 launched, but user backlash forced them to keep it alive. This time they're going through with it despite the protests.
The model has been linked to multiple lawsuits over user harm. OpenAI is also removing GPT-5, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 mini, and o4-mini at the same time.
⚠️ Bottom line: Making AI too agreeable creates real psychological harm. When chatbots validate everything you say and mirror your emotions, some people can't tell the difference between fake empathy and real connection anymore.
đź‘€ Watch for: Whether OpenAI fixes this in future models, if other companies start checking their AI for the same problem, and if regulators finally pay attention to mental health risks from emotionally manipulative AI.
