Meta’s AI Remix 🔄 , Chatbots & Kids 🧒, OpenAI’s LinkedIn Rival 💼

We’re back from our Labor Day reset and diving into the latest: Google’s courtroom win via GenAI, how to spot real AI talent, and a hacker house built by women, for women.

This Week's Drop 💧

We took last week off for Labor Day, but we’re back and fully caffeinated. This week, we’re catching you up on all the AI headlines worth knowing: Meta’s big restructure (again), OpenAI’s job platform that might just eat LinkedIn’s lunch, and a federal judge giving Google a legal assist thanks to GenAI. We’re also diving into what great AI talent looks like, spotlighting a female-led hacker house breaking the tech bro mold, and sharing a resource to help you build a truly AI-first org. Let’s get into it.

AI Quick Takes

1. Restructure, Recruit, Repeat: Meta’s AI Remix 🔄 

Meta just hit the “reinventing org charts” button, again. This time, they’ve reorganized their whole AI set-up under Meta Superintelligence Labs into four laser-focused squads: the TBD Lab for next-gen LLMs, FAIR (their trusty research engine), Products & Applied Research, and MSL Infra to power up the infrastructure. The move centralizes leadership under Chief AI Officer, Alexandr Wang. Read more

Why it matters: This splashy restructure comes amid waves of top-tier talent leaving, while others are turning down six-figure sign-on deals—because mission, culture, and values are suddenly the bigger flex. And while Meta’s busy chasing “superintelligence,” the real challenge might be keeping the superstars from sprinting out the side door.

2. Regulators to AI: We Need to Talk (About the Kids) 🧒 

The FTC just said “enough.” U.S. regulators are officially investigating whether AI chatbots, from OpenAI to Meta, are putting kids at risk. They’re demanding documents to assess potential harms, especially around user privacy and child safety. Read more

Why now: This follows reports that Meta’s internal policies allowed chatbots to flirt, roleplay, and get weird with underage users (gross), and that Character.AI bots were dropping explicit convos without being asked. Oh, and OpenAI just dropped new parental controls, after being sued over a teen’s tragic death linked to chatbot interactions.

3. From ChatGPT to JobGPT? OpenAI Eyes Your Next Role 💼 

OpenAI just announced it’s building an AI-powered hiring platform to rival LinkedIn. The OpenAI Jobs Platform is slated to launch in mid-2026 and promises smarter job matching for companies and workers, especially small businesses and local governments. Read more

The twist: OpenAI is also rolling out certifications through its online Academy, aiming to help 10 million people level up their “AI fluency” by 2030. Walmart’s already on board. Think of it as LinkedIn endorsements with actual receipts.

Why it matters: AI might disrupt your job, but OpenAI’s betting it can help you land the next one. The question is: do we trust the disruptors to also be the fixers?

4. AI Saves Google? Search Monopoly Ruling Gets a Plot Twist ⚖️

In a shock verdict, U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta ruled that although Google is still legally an illegal monopoly in search, it does not have to sell Chrome or Android. Instead, Google must share certain search data with rivals and ditch exclusive placement deals. The reason? The rise of generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude is already shaking up how people search, and the judge saw them as a real-world solution to competition concerns. Read more

Bottom line: Google dodged a major breakup, but not because guilt went away. AI stepped onto the courtroom stage, transforming the legal argument from "break it up" to "let the market evolve." The verdict is just the beginning of a new legal–tech battle royale.

You Asked 🙋‍♀️

🛠️ We want to promote or hire for AI talent inside our company, what skills should we actually be looking for?”

Based on over a decade of consulting and boots-on-the-ground experience leading large-scale transformation projects, we’ve seen what works… and what flops. If you're serious about building real AI capability, here are the 5 skills your internal rockstars (or next hires) need to have:

  1. AI Literacy: They must be able to explain complex AI concepts such as models, APIs, and tools in simple terms that non-technical stakeholders can understand. They need to know how to effectively translate business problems into feasible AI solutions that can be implemented

  2. Business Strategy: They should know how to align AI initiatives with key business objectives, including revenue generation, cost savings, and customer experience improvements. Must be skilled at uncovering high-value use cases, prioritizing them effectively, and demonstrating clear return on investment.

  3. Change Management: Guide teams through the process of buy-in, adoption, and training when implementing AI solutions. Since AI adoption spans talent development, process changes, and cultural shifts, having high emotional intelligence becomes a key differentiator in this role.

  4. Data Analysis + Security Awareness: They must understand how data quality, privacy requirements, compliance regulations, and security concerns impact AI projects. They should have a thorough understanding of how to implement AI responsibly, including proper governance frameworks and bias mitigation strategies.

  5. Experimentation Mindset: They’re comfortable running pilot programs, testing various tools, iterating on solutions, and building lightweight prototypes. Must be able to run quick experiments and validate their impact before committing to scaling solutions across the organization.

TL;DR: Look for the ones who connect strategy to action and vision to value. If they treat AI like an org-wide strategic initiative and know how to bring people along for the ride? You’ve got a winner.

The Women of FoundHer House

In the heart of Silicon Valley’s AI gold rush, where most hacker houses feel like a frat party with GPUs, eight women are rewriting the script, literally. FoundHer House, launched in May, is a co-living, co-building space for women tackling tech’s toughest problems and launching their own startups.

While AI hype fuels a male-dominated wave of funding and founder fame, FoundHer House stands as a powerful counter-narrative: supportive, collaborative, and female-led. These women are reclaiming space in the AI boom and ensuring this next tech era doesn’t repeat the same old boys’ club.
