Some OpenAI shareholders are privately questioning whether Altman is the right CEO to take the company public, citing his side projects and his own admission he's "zero percent" excited about running a public company.

Altman recently asked the OpenAI board to fund Helion Energy and back rocket startup Stoke Space, both companies he holds stakes in, pushing the board to draw a line against executives mixing personal investments with company decisions.

The frontrunner to replace him is board chair Bret Taylor, who built Google Maps, served as Facebook CTO, and chaired Twitter. His selling point over Altman seems to be that he focuses on one job at a time.

Meta will begin laying off roughly 8,000 employees on May 20, with a second round of cuts planned for later in 2026, as Zuckerberg restructures the company around AI efficiency.

Executives say the scale of future cuts may shift depending on how AI capabilities develop, signaling the layoffs are tied directly to how fast the company can replace human work with AI-assisted workflows.

Meta is profitable and sitting on $60 billion in annual profit, so this isn't a distress move. It's a bet that fewer people plus better AI tools equals a leaner and more competitive company.

A humanoid robot built by Chinese smartphone maker Honor completed a Beijing half-marathon in 50 minutes and 26 seconds, beating the human world record of 57 minutes set by Uganda's Jacob Kiplimo in March.

The winning robot used autonomous navigation and a liquid-cooling system developed largely in-house. Last year's winning robot finished the same race in 2 hours and 40 minutes, making this a massive single-year performance leap.

China's latest five-year plan explicitly targets humanoid robots as a strategic priority, and three Chinese companies already rank as the world's only first-tier vendors by shipment volume. This race was basically a press release with legs.

The M5 Mac Studio slips from summer to October 2026, and the OLED touchscreen MacBook Pro moves to 2027, both delayed purely because Apple cannot secure enough memory to meet launch demand.

Apple is already paying Samsung double its previous DRAM price to stockpile chips, but AI datacenters are consuming memory faster than fabs can produce it, leaving consumer hardware to wait in line.

The Mac Studio is reportedly ready to ship. Apple is choosing to delay rather than launch and disappoint. That's a reasonable call, but it means the RAM story from the last article just got a product casualty.

Memory makers Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron can only meet about 60% of DRAM demand by end of 2027, with SK Group's chairman warning the shortage could stretch to 2030.

New fabs are coming, but almost none go online before 2027, and most will prioritize high-bandwidth memory for AI data centers over the general-purpose DRAM used in phones, laptops, and gaming handhelds.

Production needs to grow 12% annually to close the gap, but only 7.5% growth is planned. That math means higher prices for consumer electronics are baked in for the next several years.
