Altman Calls for Robot Taxes and a Wealth Fund, The New Yorker Investigates Sam, Meta’s Models

Today we’re covering the biggest AI stories of April 7th, 2026. OpenAI published a 13-page policy document outlining how society should prepare for superintelligence — with Sam Altman proposing robot taxes, a national wealth fund that pays dividends to every American, a four-day workweek, and emergency playbooks for AI that can no longer be shut down. The New Yorker dropped a 100-interview deep dive into Altman’s career, surfacing unseen memos from ex-chief scientist Ilya Sutskever and private notes from Dario Amodei that independently reach the same conclusion — both calling the problem at OpenAI “Sam himself.” Plus, Meta is preparing to release its first models built under Alexandr Wang’s Superintelligence team, though reports suggest the company already knows they won’t be competitive across the board, and a community workflow from a one-person eLearning agency that replaced an entire production team with a single AI pipeline spanning NotebookLM, Perplexity, and video generation tools.
