from CEO Medium Podcast Hosted by CEO Medium

This week, the biggest names in business drew lines in the sand. OpenAI fired three safety researchers for talking to an outside safety group, days after reportedly dismissing staff safety concerns.

Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora drew a line through his own company: engineers are protected, everyone else is 'fair game.' Nike CEO Elliott Hill announced a third round of cuts while slashing the forecast. And former LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky quit Microsoft rather than relocate to Redmond. Two hosts break down what each line means for founders building right now.Stories covered: OpenAI fires its safety researchers; LeCun vs Amodei, the founder feud over AI doom; Nikesh Arora's AI workforce doctrine at Palo Alto Networks; Nike's third-round layoffs under Elliott Hill; Ryan Roslansky leaves Microsoft over return-to-office.
