What happened

The age of post-processable velocity Something big has shifted for all of us.

Why it matters

I noticed it last week, while preparing for our Axios board meeting.

Common ground

The clearest point to anchor on is this: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says that AI is still awaiting its iPhone moment, and that he needs to learn a key lesson from Apple.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Exaggeration / Hyperbole: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
