About This Episode

OpenAI acquired Hero, an AI personal CFO that runs a company's books for them — weeks after its own CFO dispute. Is this the strategic move everyone says it is, or another sign Sam Altman doesn't have a clear direction for OpenAI? In this short, Tadiwa and Elvis break down the Hero deal, the CFO irony nobody talked about, why some investors are quietly backing Anthropic, and what it means when a company acquires something they could've just used as a tool. For anyone watching the OpenAI vs Anthropic narrative — or trying to read between press-release lines.
