OpenAI's Greg Brockman says it's not too late to build AI startups
If you're dreaming of joining the AI startup race, it might not be too late to start. "Sometimes it might feel like all the ideas are taken, but the economy is so big," Greg Brockman, OpenAI's cofounder and president, said in an episode of the "Latent Space" podcast released on Saturday. "It is worthwhile and really important for people to really think about how do we get the most out of these amazing intelligences that we've created." Brockman said startups that connect large language models to real-world applications are extremely valuable. Brockman, who cofounded OpenAI in 2015, added that domains like healthcare require founders to think about all the stakeholders and how they can insert AI models into the existing system. "There is so much fruit that is not yet picked, so go ahead and ride the GPT river," he said. Brockman also advised founders against building "better wrappers.""AI wrapper" is a dismissive term used to refer to simple applications that are built on top of existing AI models and can be easily offered by LLM companies themselves. "It's really about understanding a domain and building up expertise and relationships and all of those things," Brockman said. Brockman's comments are part of a Silicon Valley debate about how new AI founders can future-proof their startup ideas. Last year, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said his company would "steamroll" any startup building "little things" on top of its model. He said that companies that underestimate the speed of AI model growth risk becoming part of the "OpenAI killed my startup meme." In a June podcast, Instagram cofounder and Anthropic's chief product officer, Mike Krieger, offered some advice for startups that want to avoid being made obsolete by LLM companies. Startups with deep knowledge in areas like law or biotechnology and those with good customer relationships can survive AI giants, Krieger said. He also suggested that startups play with new AI interfaces that feel "very weird" at first. "I don't envy them," he added, about founders wanting to build in the AI space. "Maybe that's part of the reason why I wanted to join a company rather than start one."

Electra and Surf Air Mobility Complete First Commercial Demonstrations of Ultra Short Aircraft at Virginia Tech
A series of "breathtakingly short" takeoffs and landings showcase how Electra's hybrid-electric aircraft will unlock the new era of Direct Aviation Surf Air Mobility will leverage its operational scale and proprietary SurfOS™ software for next-generation electrified aircraft BLACKSBURG, Va., Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Inc. ("Electra"), in partnership with Surf Air Mobility Inc. ("Surf Air Mobility") (NYSE: SRFM) and Virginia Tech, successfully completed the first series of public demonstrations of its Ultra Short aircraft capabilities earlier this month. The demos – captured as part of a new video series – highlight how blown lift and hybrid-electric propulsion together enable takeoffs and landings in 150 feet or less at Ultra Short Access Points connected to novel airstrips, austere environments, or campus settings. These groundbreaking capabilities accelerate Electra's bold vision for advanced air mobility via Direct Aviation, opening the door to thousands of potential new routes that can be flown once its flagship EL9 Ultra Short aircraft reaches commercial service in 2029. The demonstrations took place at several locations at Virginia Tech, including: A 300-foot by 75-foot paved surface used for takeoff and landing of small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) An access road on a closed test-bed campus research facility managed by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI) in cooperation with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) A grass field at The Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center Electra's EL2 technology demonstrator completed the flights. Ultimately, Electra's flagship EL9 nine-passenger aircraft will enter service with similar capabilities. Surf Air Mobility, via its airline subbrands Southern Airways and Mokulele Airlines, have flown millions of passengers over millions of miles since inception. With Surf Air Mobility's decade of operational experience, existing nationwide commuter scheduled flight network, and proprietary SurfOS software, Surf Air Mobility is creating a platform to enable the launch of new electrified aircraft. Once certified, Electra's EL9 Ultra Short aircraft has the potential to leverage Surf Air Mobility's operations and software platform to bring the aircraft technology to market at scale. "These demonstrations showcased breathtakingly short takeoffs and landings and pinpoint landing capabilities with the power to transform aviation as we know it," said Marc Allen, CEO of Electra. "It's a great credit to our amazing teammates and partners that we are now demonstrating these capabilities in real world, non-airport environments." "What stood out to us immediately was the operational flexibility that the EL9 will enable," said Louis Saint-Cyr, COO and President of Hawai'i Operations. "The aircraft will be faster to turn around, less expensive to operate, and easier to deploy. These demonstration flights were a critical step forward in Electra's journey to commercialization and will solve real pain points with regional air mobility. We're excited to work with Electra to leverage our platform to help bring this novel technology to market at scale." "What Electra demonstrated at Virginia Tech was a first glimpse of how air travel will work in the near future," said Eric Paterson, executive director of the Virginia Tech National Security Institute. "It was a practical demonstration of how the EL9 can integrate into everyday environments, proving it works where it needs to." What is Direct Aviation?Direct Aviation brings air travel closer to home, work, and play. Instead of relying on a few large, congested airport hubs, Direct Aviation uses hundreds of thousands of smaller, more accessible locations. These Ultra Short Access Points can be as small as soccer fields and include underutilized airport facilities, novel air strips, or dedicated spaces near campuses or commercial areas. Enabled by Electra's Ultra Short technology, Direct Aviation removes the chokepoints of traditional aviation that limit access and add time on both ends of the journey due to the reliance on a handful of major airports. This model replaces long, congested drives, packed terminals, and underutilized runways with direct, efficient flights that cater to today's travel needs. A newly released study by researchers from Georgia Tech analyzed regional travel demand and patterns in the U.S. Northeast Corridor, identifying significant demand for Direct Aviation and ideal routes for Ultra Short aviation services. Many of the regional routes identified fall within the 50 to 300 nautical mile range, which is too short for traditional air travel to be practical, but too far or congested for efficient ground travel. Electra's Ultra Short technology will save time for travelers, maximize existing infrastructure, and connect communities currently not accessible by traditional air travel. With Electra's EL9 aircraft, these flights become faster, quieter, and more cost-effective. The aircraft operates at one-third the cost of a helicopter or eVTOL and is 100 times quieter. It integrates with existing aviation systems and is ready to deploy where demand already exists. With over 2,200 pre-orders from more than 60 operators worldwide, the EL9 is already one of the most in-demand aircraft in the advanced air mobility (AAM) sector. In the coming months, Electra will share use cases, sample routes, and operator partnerships that further showcase how the Ultra Short unlocks this new era of Direct Aviation. For more information, visit About Inc. (Electra) is an advanced aerospace company building hybrid-electric Ultra Short airplanes that achieve never-before seen performance advantages to fly people and cargo seamlessly without airports, emissions, or noise.

Apple faces Musk's wrath in explosive AI bias allegations
Apple faces Musk's wrath in explosive AI bias allegations originally appeared on TheStreet. Elon Musk is threatening to drag Apple into court, accusing the tech giant of rigging its App Store to favor OpenAI's ChatGPT over his own AI chatbot, Grok. In a flurry of posts on X, Musk claimed Apple is making it "impossible for any AI company besides Open AI to reach #1 in the App Store," calling the practice an "unequivocal antitrust violation." Musk added that his AI startup, xAI, will take "immediate legal action" unless Apple changes course. Apple has so far declined to comment on Musk's allegations. The Grok vs ChatGPT battle Musk's frustration centers on Grok's exclusion from Apple's "Must-Have" section, even though Grok is ranked fifth among all free apps in the U.S. App Store. His social media platform X, which he claims is the "#1 news app in the world," is also missing from the "Must-Have" list. Meanwhile, OpenAI's ChatGPT sits at No. 1 in the free app rankings and enjoys prime placement in the "Must-Have" section. Apple is also prominently promoting ChatGPT-5, OpenAI's newest AI model, at the top of its "Apps" page."Are you playing politics?" Musk asked in one X post. Musk's legal threat comes shortly after Grok leapfrogged Google's AI app in Apple's App Store rankings following the launch of its new Grok 4 chatbot last month. The news also follows the recent departure of xAI legal head Robert Keele, who announced last week that he had left the company to spend more time with family. Keele also acknowledged there was "daylight between our worldviews," adding that Musk's "vision, commitment, and smarts blew me away on the daily." Musk's longstanding feud with OpenAI Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015, but left its board in 2018. He has become one of its most vocal critics since then, suing the Microsoft-backed company and its CEO Sam Altman for allegedly abandoning its non-profit mission for developing AI "for the benefit of humanity broadly." More News: Warren Buffett's stock sends louder signals than Berkshire's earnings beat Veteran analyst spots unexpected star in Apple's earnings report Nvidia avoids White House crackdown; Trump softens on AI giant Musk had previously warned Apple not to integrate Open AI's technology at the operating system level, threatening to ban Apple devices from his companies if it did. While Apple has remained silent on the matter, Altman responded in his own X post, stating: "This is a remarkable claim given what I have heard alleged that Elon does to manipulate X to benefit himself and his own companies and harm his competitors and people he doesn't like."Continued antitrust scrutiny for Apple Apple is no stranger to antitrust challenges. The U.S. Department of Justice sued the company in 2024 for maintaining an alleged iPhone ecosystem monopoly. In 2021, courts forced Apple to loosen App Store payment restrictions in a major win for gaming companies after a judge maintained its fees were anticompetitive. If Musk follows through with his latest legal threat, his lawsuit could become another high-profile test of Apple's control over app distribution and promotion — this time in the booming AI industry. Whether Musk is simply posturing or preparing for an "immediate" legal blitz, the fight could set a new precedent for how app stores handle AI faces Musk's wrath in explosive AI bias allegations first appeared on TheStreet on Aug 13, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Aug 13, 2025, where it first appeared.
