AI burnout, billion-dollar bets, and Silicon Valley’s Epstein problem

AI firms have been hemorrhaging expertise the previous few weeks. Half of xAI’s founding staff has left the corporate — some on their very own, others via “restructuring” — whereas OpenAI is going through its personal shakeups, from the disbanding of its mission alignment staff to the firing of a coverage exec who opposed its “grownup mode” function. 

On this episode of Trendster’s Fairness podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane dig into the week’s greatest offers and departures, from billion-dollar bets on fusion and robotics to the tech exodus reshaping AI firms.
