Altman Out: Reasons, Reactions and the Repercussions for the Industry

What caused the face of ChatGPT and OpenAI to be fired in a 15-minute Meets call? This video, a one-off from my normal videos, goes into the background, possible reasons, reactions and more importantly, the repercussions for the industry. This is everything I could find on what went down.

OpenAI’s New ImageGen is Unexpectedly Epic … (ft. Reve, Imagen 3, Midjourney etc)

I’ve spent quite a while testing the new 4o ImageGen from OpenAI, and comparing it to models released just yesterday, like Reve, Midjourney, Imagen 3, as well as models not yet out. https://app.grayswan.ai/ai-explainedAI Insiders ($9!): https://www.patreon.com/AIExplainedRarely in AI is one model so much better than the rest, as we can see on the chatbot-side of things. Yes, I have a video imminent on Gemini 2.5 and DeepSeek. But for ImageGen, I was very impressed, as you’ll see. Still not perfect, don’t show it a mirror for example, and definitely not photorealistic, but incredibly obedient. You’ll see what I mean. What Sam Altman calls ‘Images in ChatGPT’ will be available to everyone apparently, even free users. There are some filters, but I am sure everyone will soon have access to an unfiltered model of its strength, and its easy to imagine what will come of that.
