The Latest in AI

When a CEO Says AI Could Take His Job, You Might Want to Listen

It’s not every day a CEO tells their entire company that AI might take their jobs, including their own. But that’s exactly what Fiverr’s CEO Micha Kaufman did in a leaked internal memo, warning employees to adapt or be left behind.

Kaufman didn’t sugarcoat it: “AI is coming for your jobs. Heck, it’s coming for my job too.” The memo, which has since gone viral, takes aim at the entire workforce—programmers, designers, product managers, data scientists, lawyers, salespeople—you name it.

What’s Going On?

• Kaufman says the impact of AI isn’t limited to Fiverr, it’s affecting the entire labor market. His advice? Learn AI tools fast or risk being left behind.

• Critics are calling Kaufman’s tone “alarmist” and “tone-deaf,” especially given that Fiverr itself could see AI automating many of its freelance services.

• IBM’s Arvind Krishna and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg have made similar comments, but with a more optimistic spin, suggesting that AI might change jobs rather than eliminate them outright.

So What?

While Kaufman’s message may sound grim, it’s a reality check: AI is reshaping the future of work, whether we like it or not. Kaufman’s warning might seem jarring, but it’s also a call to stay adaptable and creative.

As AI evolves, those who learn to work with it will thrive.

OpenAI Drops $3B on Windsurf

Windsurf, an AI-powered coding assistant, was in talks to raise funding at a $3B valuation.

Instead, OpenAI decided to buy the whole shop. This might give ChatGPT a serious boost in the battle against rivals like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Anthropic’s Claude…

Good deal for OpenAI?

• The $3B price tag (more than double Windsurf’s last valuation) shows OpenAI is willing to spend big to dominate the AI coding market.

• The deal hasn’t closed yet, but it would become OpenAI’s largest acquisition ever, topping its Rockset buy and signaling deeper moves into enterprise.

So What?

OpenAI isn’t just building a chat interface anymore. It’s going after developers—arguably the most valuable distribution lever in tech.

With 400M weekly active users and $40B in fresh capital coming in, the company is trying to own every layer of the AI stack. Windsurf could be the missing piece that turns ChatGPT into the ultimate coding copilot.

Also worth asking: was Windsurf bought for its product… or its data to potentially train new code-first models? 👀 

Tool Spotlight

Write it, Hear it with Suno 4.5

Making music used to require instruments, gear, and a whole lot of technical know-how.

Now? You just need a good idea and Suno v4.5, the latest and most expressive music generation model.

Whether you’re crafting dreamy lo-fi or jazz-infused techno (yes, that’s a thing now), v4.5 turns your descriptions into dynamic, genre-accurate music with richer vocals, deeper emotion, and seriously better sound.

Here’s how to make your first track:

1. Log into Suno (you’ll need a paid tier to access v4.5, you can use v3.5 on the free tier).

2. On the left sidebar, click “Create”.

3. Describe the song you’d like to make, be as vivid or weird as you want.

4. Hit “Create” and let Suno turn your words into audio!

Some cool prompts to try:

• A dreamy lo-fi track with soft rain sounds and nostalgic piano melodies.

• Upbeat synth-pop anthem for a retro-futuristic video game.

• Acoustic folk song about leaving your hometown, gentle vocals, and fingerpicked guitar.

• Dark jazz-electronic hybrid with saxophone, deep basslines, and vinyl crackle.
