OpenAI Acquires TBPN, Show Continues Daily at 11am Pacific
By
–
TBPN has been acquired by OpenAI! The show is staying the same and we’ll continue to go live at 11am pacific every weekday. This is a full circle moment for me as I’ve worked with @sama for well over a decade. He funded my first company in 2013. Then helped us fix a serious logjam during a critical funding round a few years later. When I took my second company through YC, he was president at the time, and then when I joined Founders Fund, the first deal I saw in motion was the post-ChatGPT round in late 2022. And as we started growing TBPN last year, he was the very first lab lead to join the show. Thank you to everyone that has been a part of TBPN until now. The last year has been the most fun and rewarding part of my career and we’re excited to have more resources than ever going forward.

Block’s 40% Staff Cut and AI-Centered Company Restructuring Strategy
By
–
NEW EPISODE: @jack & @roelofbotha unpack @blocks 40% staff cut and rebuilding the entire company as a mini-AGI. This isn’t “use AI to make people more productive.” It’s making the company itself the intelligence. If you’re a founder or operator wondering what work looks like in the next 5 years… this is the episode. The evolution looks like: • Manager mode = Pyramid 🔺 (command & control) • Founder mode = Flat ➖(founders decide fast) • Dorsey mode = Circle 🔵 w/ AI at the center, humans at the edge, and decisions flow from customer inputs → AI → humans steering it I’ve tried killing org charts before. Brutally hard. But we never had these tools. This is rewriting the CEO playbook for the AI era. Buckle up. 00:00 Existential Dread & Hope 02:56 AI Replaces Hierarchy 07:22 Block’s New Three Roles 26:47 Flattening the Company, Fast 35:23 Getting the Board to Buy-In, Fast 36:50 Building a Great Board 41:29 Founder CEO Lessons 48:18 Second Acts & Conviction 56:22 Timeless CEO Traits

Azure’s OpenAI Traffic Share Grows 4x in 10 Weeks
By
–
The LangSmith Signal: Azure's share of OpenAI traffic grew nearly 4x in under 3 months. We're sharing how devs are building agents, by the numbers. While most orgs started by connecting directly to OpenAI, over the past 10 weeks we've watched Azure's share of that traffic grow from 8% to 29%. We've analyzed this trend via LangSmith Observability data across more than 6.7 billion agent runs. Our hypothesis: 💡 Early adopters moved fast and went direct, but the enterprise wave is now arriving in force 💡 Azure gives teams the compliance, security, and procurement infrastructure they already have in place 💡 Azure traffic 4x-ing in 10 weeks likely indicates AI development is maturing quickly
