OpenAI has announced a major restructuring plan that involves transferring an equity stake valued at over $100 billion to the non-profit organization overseeing it. This move is part of a broader strategy to transition OpenAI from a non-profit to a public benefit corporation, alongside a tentative agreement to resolve financial issues with Microsoft, which has invested over $13 billion in OpenAI since 2019. The revised agreement includes a clause that limits Microsoft's access to OpenAI's most advanced technologies if they achieve artificial general intelligence. This transition is under scrutiny from regulators and raises concerns about OpenAI's commitment to its foundational mission of ensuring that artificial intelligence benefits humanity.The financial implications of OpenAI's restructuring are significant, particularly with an estimated computing cost problem of $350 billion. This staggering figure not only highlights the challenges OpenAI faces but also sets a concerning precedent for other tech companies relying on cloud computing resources. If OpenAI struggles with these costs, it could lead to higher API pricing, throttled access, or abrupt contract changes that would affect managed service providers (MSPs) and their clients. The podcast emphasizes the importance of diversifying partnerships and negotiating flexibility in contracts to mitigate potential volatility in the AI landscape.In other industry news, N-able has launched CATMIP, an initiative aimed at standardizing AI terminology in cybersecurity and IT management. This effort seeks to address the inconsistencies in terminology across different tech vendors, which can lead to errors and ambiguities in AI command interpretation. Meanwhile, Kaseya has reshaped its leadership with a community-first message, appointing new executives to enhance its AI-first platform, Kaseya 365. These changes reflect a shift towards a more community-centric approach for managed service providers, although the podcast cautions that new titles alone won't resolve existing integration challenges.Adobe and Coro are also making strides in integrating AI into their offerings. Adobe has introduced AI agents in its Experience Cloud, with over 70% of customers already adopting the new tools designed to enhance customer experience processes. Coro has released a new version of its cybersecurity platform tailored for small and mid-sized businesses, leveraging AI to simplify security processes. The podcast concludes with a discussion on the decline of the open web, the normalization of AI as a technology, and the importance of aligning AI adoption with business goals rather than treating it as a standalone strategy. Four things to know today 00:00 OpenAI Restructures With $100B Equity Transfer While Confronting $350B Compute Crisis03:58 N-able Pushes AI Standardization While Kaseya Reshapes Leadership for AI-First Future06:51 Adobe Targets Customer Experience as Coro Brings Enterprise Security to SMBs08:28 Open Web Fades, AI Normalizes, and Strategy Matters More Than Ever  This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://scalepad.com/dave/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

In this episode, Niels Brabandt, founder of NB Networks and international expert on sustainable leadership, addresses one of the most difficult challenges leaders face: guiding organisations through crises, restructuring, and redundancies. Drawing on real-world cases, Niels Brabandt explains why vague justifications, such as “the market” or “the economy,” undermine trust, and why leaders must take accountability for difficult decisions. He highlights the triple preparation every organisation needs: transparent processes, robust support systems, and trained leaders, while showing how poor communication or lack of empathy can cause irreparable damage to brands, careers, and lives. This episode offers executives and decision-makers a practical framework for handling layoffs responsibly, protecting organisational trust, and demonstrating authentic leadership under pressure.

Top 3 Gaming News From Last Week:NetEase Shuts Down Another Western Studio (Game Developer): NetEase has closed T-Minus Zero Entertainment. This marks the third Western studio closure as part of a broader reassessment of business priorities and has raised concerns about the stability of Western studios under NetEase's ownership.IGN Publisher John Davison Exits Following Major Layoffs (Kotaku): John Davison, IGN's publisher since 2019, announced his departure at the end of August 2025 following significant layoffs affecting 12% of the editorial union. The exit represents broader instability in gaming media as the largest gaming outlet globally faces consolidation pressures.Ubisoft and King Showcase AI Production Acceleration (Business Insider): Major studios revealed how AI tools are transforming game development, with Ubisoft's FaceShifter reducing 3D head creation time from a week to half a day, while King uses AI as a "co-pilot" for playtesting at scale and level tuning across thousands of Candy Crush Saga levels.Top 2 Game Dev Issues I Thought About From Last Week:1. People vs. ProductMost companies overindex on product analysis while treating people issues as taboo - You can ruthlessly critique and analyze the product all day, but giving critical feedback to individuals often gets labeled as "toxic" or grounds for termination. This creates a toxic positivity culture that stunts growth.People are the engine that builds the product - Without improving your team's capabilities through honest feedback (both positive and constructive), you're fundamentally limiting your organization's potential. The product can only be as good as the people making it.Recognize and leverage both skillsets - Some folks excel at people management (mentoring, developing talent, giving balanced feedback), others at product work (analysis, problem-solving, execution). The rare ones who master both are gold. The challenge is that people-focused contributions are harder to measure than code commits, leading to these employees being undervalued.2. Why Our Game Design Process Sucks"Ooh, that's cool!" is not a design philosophy - Too many designers are really just players in disguise, borrowing features from other games without connecting them to clear design objectives. Real design starts with objectives, not with "wouldn't it be cool if..."Lack of rigor kills games - Your team's design specs are missing crucial elements: user flows, edge cases, knock-on effects to other systems. Without tools like logic trees to map out the full implications of a feature (seeing the whole elephant, not just the parts), you're essentially doing "RNG design" - throwing random features at the wall and hoping they stick.This is a massive competitive advantage waiting to be claimed - Getting design process right is a huge source of "alpha" because frankly, most companies - even successful ones - are terrible at it. The fact that games with fundamental design flaws still succeed proves that nobody really has this figured out.2 Game Dev Lessons: #1. People vs. Products#2. Why Our Design Process Sucks -> Don't RNG Design

Project 2025 has emerged as one of the most ambitious and controversial blueprints for American governance in recent memory. Initiated by the Heritage Foundation and backed by a coalition of over 100 conservative organizations, the project's stated mission is to radically restructure the federal government and centralize executive power, promising what supporters call a return to accountability and efficiency. Critics, meanwhile, warn of its sweeping threats to democratic norms, federal checks and balances, and the livelihoods of millions.Unveiled in the form of a 900-page manifesto titled “Mandate for Leadership,” Project 2025 provides granular directions, agency by agency, for an incoming administration determined to overhaul how Washington operates. According to the Heritage Foundation, the “heart of the project” is dismantling what they label as an unaccountable bureaucracy that has “drifted too far from the people's will.” Kevin Roberts, Heritage's president, bluntly declared, “All federal employees should answer to the president.” This vision is animated by an expansive concept known as the unitary executive theory, essentially arguing that the president should have direct control over all executive branch agencies, shedding their current independence.For listeners wondering about concrete changes, consider the plan for the Department of State. Project 2025 advocates for the wholesale removal of agency leadership officials before Inauguration Day, replacing them with individuals hand-picked for strict ideological alignment. Kiron Skinner, who penned the State Department chapter, envisioned a department led exclusively by loyalists, aiming to “remove those not aligned with the president's priorities.” This move is designed not just to hasten the implementation of foreign policy goals, but to prevent bureaucratic resistance—a key grievance among the plan's authors.Just as striking is Project 2025's approach to the federal workforce. Its architects call for the resurrection and expansion of “Schedule F,” a controversial employment status for federal employees. Schedule F would classify hundreds of thousands—if not more—career civil servants as political appointees, stripping them of longstanding job protections. The stated goal is a government “purged of entrenched opposition” so that “key decisions reflect the president's will on day one.” Critics like the National Federation of Federal Employees describe this as a “scheme to purge career professionals,” warning it would turn public administration into a partisan machine vulnerable to corruption.The plan doesn't stop at restructuring government jobs. Project 2025 lays out a 180-day playbook, which includes ready-to-sign executive orders to immediately strip environmental regulations, curb civil rights protections, and overhaul social welfare programs. According to the Center for Progressive Reform, executive actions under this strategy have already targeted the rollback of climate rules, weakened worker safety standards, and eliminated agencies altogether. The swift elimination of the Consumer Financial Protection Board and US Agency for International Development, as documented by Government Executive, was meant to signal a new era of “government efficiency” but resulted in “widespread layoffs and institutional chaos.”Project 2025's policy ambitions also extend to social issues. In its blueprint, it calls for curtailing access to abortion, undoing LGBTQ protections, and limiting federal action on racial equity. The ACLU describes these proposals as “an unprecedented rollback of civil rights and liberties,” comparing their scope to a rewriting of American society's basic fabric.Proponents lay claim to a mandate from voters frustrated by government gridlock and what they see as bureaucratic overreach. Opponents counter that this is not reform but a consolidation of power. Legal experts from across the spectrum worry that such an agenda could collapse the traditional American barrier between politics and administration, risking both the appearance and the reality of authoritarian rule.Several milestones now lie ahead. With ongoing lawsuits from labor unions and scrutiny by watchdog groups, the coming months promise court battles and congressional hearings over Project 2025's legality and impact. Congressional Republicans and administration officials are preparing for rapid implementation, while a coalition of civil rights organizations and some lawmakers are vowing organized resistance.The stakes for American governance have rarely been higher. Whether Project 2025 becomes a historical footnote or a defining blueprint for the future will depend on political will, legal battles, and the choices made in the next critical year.Thanks for tuning in to this week's deep dive.

The English courts have been called upon several times in the last few years to reevaulate what should be considered fair in Part 26A restructuring plans.Within 2025, the Court of Appeal handed down two key decisions on distressed utility company Thames Water and upstream energy engineering firm Petrofac's restructuring plans.Those decisions, combined with another Court of Appeal decision handed down last year on German real estate group Adler's restructuring plan, have reconfigured the approach to assessing whether a restructuring is fair.There are now new tests for evaluating whether a restructuring plan is fair, and a focus on fair allocation and what contributions stakeholders are making to the restructuring, as well as what they get out.To unpack recent trends in Part 26A restructuring plans and what the recent Court of Appeal decisions mean for the future of UK restructuring plans, 9fin's Will Macadam sat down Kirkland & Ellis partners Kate Stephenson and Kon Asimacopoulos, and David Allison KC of South Square.

In this episode of Mining Stock Daily, Trevor Hall and Craig Hemke of TF Metals Report delve into the relationship between the Trump administration and the precious metals market.

AI Weekly News Rundown From August 10th to August 17 2025Hello AI Unraveled Listeners,In this week's AI News Rundown,

Somya Mehra: From Top-Down to Collaborative—Reimagining Organizational Restructuring Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. During a business unit split and reorganization focused on creating smaller teams, Somya and her fellow Scrum Masters were invited to create the new structure process. After hearing feedback that teams felt excluded from previous changes, they decided to include teams in the reorganization process to give them a sense of control.

Michael McNair: How Trump Administration Is Driving The Dollar Lower There has certainly been a lot of chaos in the financial markets since Trump started his second term. Even aside from the tariffs, we've seen the dollar index plummet in the time Trump's been in office, amidst numerous comments from Trump cabinet officials about how they feel the dollar is just too high. Meanwhile, as the tariff policies have frequently changed, while the commentary from the Trump team often leaves you feeling like you're getting less than the full story, fortunately, I have some good news. Because I've mentioned fund manager Michael McNair, who months ago wrote a thesis on the signs he's seeing that the Trump administration is already actively implementing Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors Stephen Miran's plan, that he laid out in his 41-page paper titled "Restructuring the Global Trading System." Which I might also add came out one month before Trump named him for the position of chairman. Fortunately, I was able to catch up with Michael, who then proceeded to give a master class on some of the intricacies of what's going on right now. Which with all due respect, I simply think you will not find anywhere else. So especially if you're not sure what to make of the first half year of Trump's second term, and want to know what the plan really is, and if it will ultimately be able to be successful, you will want to watch today's show!. - To find Michael McNair on twitter go to: https://x.com/michaeljmcnair To read Michael's most recent paper titled 'The Dollar Squeeze: How the Trump Administration Reversed Capital Flows Without Capital Controls,' go to: https://medium.com/@mcnai002/the-dollar-squeeze-how-the-trump-administration-reversed-capital-flows-without-capital-controls-d32e4e728a34 - Get access to Arcadia's Daily Gold and Silver updates here: https://goldandsilverdaily.substack.com/ - To get your very own 'Silver Chopper Ben' statue go to: https://arcadiaeconomics.com/chopper-ben-landing-page/ - Join our free email list to be notified when a new video comes out: click here: https://arcadiaeconomics.com/email-signup/ - Follow Arcadia Economics on twitter at: https://x.com/ArcadiaEconomic - To get your copy of 'The Big Silver Short' (paperback or audio) go to: https://arcadiaeconomics.com/thebigsilvershort/ - Thank you for watching!

Series: First Love Living | Restructuring Authority | August 10, 2025Before Ephesus lost their first love – they HAD a small but mighty church that was changing the world.  Ephesus was the gateway between Asia & Europe, along with being the guardian of the temple of Artemus (Diana – Wonder woman!), and hosted one of the greatest libraries of the First Century.  It was a city that had a higher percentage of literate people than almost every other city in the world.  It garnered wealth and influence and shared it through the thousands who passed through.  And even though the Christian community was small, it celebrated some of the greatest leaders and teachers of the new Christian era – Paul, Timothy, the Apostle John, Priscilla & Aquila, Apollos, and more!   Of all the churches of the first century, it's the church MANY of us pastors & leaders aspire to become. This summer, we'll dig into the Scriptures regarding Ephesus, and especially the letter Paul wrote to it, gleaning from the story how to grow and keep a “First Love Life” with God.

In this special episode, Gresham Harkless is in a defining phase of his journey, weighing whether ongoing adjustments can fix deeper issues or if it's time to let go and start anew with a clean slate.   Despite attempts to streamline and restructure, there's still a disconnect between the business's operations, culture, and direction, further strained by the challenge of juggling too many roles and ventures at once.   Gresham emphasizes that the complexity and volume of moving parts have made it difficult to be fully present and effective, both internally and with clients.   In addition, Gresham is exploring whether beginning again, with the wisdom and tools he gathered, could open the door to a clearer, more purpose-aligned future.   Blue Star Franchise: http://bluestarfranchise.com Browse the Franchise Inventory: https://bluestarfranchise.com/franchise Is franchising right for you?

While Andrew Jackson dismantled the Second Bank of the United States by withdrawing federal funds and vetoing its recharter, the Federal Reserve is a far more complex and entrenched institution, created by the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 with a perpetual charter.     Potential Steps Trump Could Take   Trump could work with Congressional allies to draft a bill transferring key Fed functions (e.g., monetary policy, bank supervision) to the Treasury. This might involve creating a new Treasury division or empowering the Treasury Secretary to oversee interest rates and money supply. Frame the Narrative: Like Jackson, Trump could rally public support by portraying the Fed as an elitist institution that prioritizes Wall Street over Main Street. He could argue that placing monetary policy under the Treasury ensures democratic accountability. Leverage Political Capital: With Republican control of Congress, Trump could prioritize this agenda, using budget negotiations or debt ceiling talks to pressure lawmakers. However, he'd need to overcome resistance from moderates and filibuster threats in the Senate. Historical Precedent: Before the Fed, the Treasury managed some banking functions (e.g., under the Independent Treasury System post-1836). Trump could cite this as a viable model, though it was abandoned due to inefficiencies. Executive Actions to Increase Treasury Influence:   Trump could nominate a Treasury Secretary and Fed governors who support closer alignment between the two entities. While the Fed chair cannot be fired mid-term without cause, Trump could appoint a like-minded chair when the current term ends (e.g., Jerome Powell's term as chair expires in 2026).  Trump could issue orders directing the Treasury to study or assume certain Fed roles (e.g., payment systems or debt management). While symbolic, such moves could signal intent and pressure Congress. Treasury-Fed Coordination: Trump could push for formal agreements (e.g., a revised Treasury-Fed Accord, like the 1951 agreement) to give the Treasury more say in monetary policy, short of full control.
