🤖 OpenAI changes ChatGPT team
Friendly, safe, unbiased? Pick two
Welcome to AI Wire — your smart shortcut to all things AI, without the jargon.
What we’ll cover today:
💸 Anthropic’s $1.5B settlement and why it barely hurts
👨💻 OpenAI scoops up Alex, the Xcode AI tool team
🤖 ChatGPT gets a personality makeover inside OpenAI
📚 Resource: Neil Patel’s guide to $1M AI agents
OpenAI hired the small startup team that built Alex, an AI coding tool for Apple developers.
Apple recently added its own ChatGPT features into Xcode, which made Alex less useful.
OpenAI didn’t buy the product, only the people, showing they care more about talent than apps.
Takeaway: if your startup depends on Apple’s platform, Apple can replace you any time.
If Apple adds native AI into your dev tools, would you still pay for a third-party coding assistant? |

Anthropic will pay $1.5B to settle a lawsuit from writers whose books it pirated for AI training.
Each writer will get about $3K, but Anthropic just raised $13B, so the cost is small for them.
The court ruled that training AI on books is legal under “fair use,” the only problem was piracy.
Big picture: tech companies now treat lawsuits as routine expenses while chasing scarce training data.
🧪 i’m starting oai labs: a research-driven group focused on inventing and prototyping new interfaces for how people collaborate with ai.
i’m excited to explore patterns that move us beyond chat or even agents -- toward new paradigms and instruments for thinking, making,

OpenAI merged its “Model Behavior” team, which shaped ChatGPT’s personality, into its main research unit.
The team leader left to start a new group called OAI Labs, focused on new ways to use AI beyond chat.
This shift shows OpenAI now sees personality as a core part of the product, not a side project.
They must balance making AI friendly but not manipulative, with legal and safety issues adding pressure.

AIs aren’t minds and robots aren’t bodies.
They’re better at some things - usually the things we hate to do.
They’re worse at other things - usually the things we like to do.
Automation more than competition.

I think it’s very healthy for the ecosystem when founders convince other early stage founders to drop what they’re doing and join their company.
It creates more talent clustered on better ideas and the rate at which both sides end up happy is high.
