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)
