Summary: In today’s briefing, we analyze the "Financialization of Intelligence." We deconstruct the massive $6.6 billion secondary share sale that minted 75 multimillionaires at OpenAI, alongside the launch of DeployCo, their $10 billion private equity consulting arm. We explore the alarming cybersecurity milestone of Google detecting the first AI-assisted zero-day exploit, actively used by state-sponsored actors. We also dive into the hidden management cost of AI agents, showing how autonomous workflows are actively burning out middle managers. Finally, we cover Cerebras up-sizing its IPO to $4.8B, DeepMind's new AI co-mathematician, and Trump meeting Xi Jinping in Beijing.
