Did GPT-5 just break the internet — or expose a blind spot in how business leaders adopt AI?

OpenAI’s highly anticipated launch of GPT-5 turned into a full-blown PR and product mess, sparking backlash from power users, unexpected emotional outcries on Reddit and even forced Sam Altman into public backpedaling. But under the chaos lies a deeper, more valuable lesson: most professionals, even leaders, still don’t understand how to actually use AI for impact.

In this episode, host Isar Meitis breaks down the GPT-5 drama and pulls out the real takeaway every business leader needs to hear: it’s not about the tools - it’s about knowing how to leverage them.

You’ll also get a sweeping view of how AI is slamming into industries, destroying old business models, rewriting workforce strategy, and redefining education, all in just one week.

In this session, you'll discover:

The inside story of OpenAI’s chaotic GPT-5 launch and the software rollout mistake your team must never make
Why 77% of users are missing the true power of ChatGPT and how to join the top 1% who are crushing it
Which companies (Gartner, SAP, Monday.com) are being AI-disrupted in real time and what to learn from their decline
Why reasoning models matter and why most execs don’t even know what they are
What Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Claude’s new features say about the future of AI strategy
The dangerously out-of-touch state of higher education and how AI could radically reinvent learning
The 3-step playbook for leaders building AI-reliant systems without risking catastrophic model breaks
The surprising truth about AI “hallucinations” (spoiler: it’s way less frequent than you think)
