So we’re just… talking to software now?

ElevenLabs has been the go-to for voice for a while. Now they've turned that expertise into agents that actually get things done. You set one up, it talks like a real person, listens, responds, and helps handle the task — support calls, bookings, whatever the job is. Not a demo, not a "press 1 for sales" situation. It's ready to deploy. Feels like one of those shifts where the interface quietly changes. Less typing, less clicking, more just saying what needs to happen and letting it play out.
Sam's taking no prisoners

Elon Musk just tried to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion, and OpenAI hit him with a “no thanks.”
Musk, who helped start OpenAI before leaving in 2018, says the company has lost its way—too closed off, too profit-driven, not the open-source AI utopia he envisioned. So, he and a group of investors made an offer to take control and, presumably, set things right. This comes after Musk sued OpenAI last year, arguing that its for-profit shift betrayed its original mission.
OpenAI’s response? A hard pass. CEO Sam Altman even joked that OpenAI would buy Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) for $9.74 billion instead. Beyond the billionaire drama, the real question is: should AI be controlled by one guy with a lot of money, or... a different guy with a lot of money?.
