OpenAI unsealed the text messages.
And the courtroom drama around Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and OpenAI somehow got even messier.
In Episode 78 of What the AI?!, Jeff Keltner and Annie Delgado break down the leaked boardroom texts, the growing conflict-of-interest chaos around Elon’s attempts to poach OpenAI talent, and why former board members were panicking about recusal and control behind the scenes. At the same time, OpenAI launched Daybreak, its new GPT-5.5 cybersecurity platform designed to compete directly with Anthropic’s Mythos. This is no longer just a race to build better chatbots. It is becoming a fight over security, infrastructure, influence, and control.
