ON_Discourse Breakfast Club for AI Leaders: 6 Months of Madness

​Where are we? How did we get here? What's next?

​There are no answers, only more questions. The first half of 2026 served up:

• ​An IPO race between OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX

• ​Anthropic's $1.5B settlement with authors over pirated training data

• ​ChatGPT slipping below 50% market share for the first time

• ​~40% of enterprise apps shipped in 2026 embedding AI agents (Gartner)

• ​Enterprises tightening AI budgets and demanding ROI

• ​Anthropic suing the Pentagon

• ​Pope Leo XIV's AI encyclical (Magnifica Humanitas)

• ​A $400K state report exposed as 95% Claude-written

​Bring your hottest take, your dumbest take, and your most unresolved question. We'll set the tone for the rest of the year.

​The ON_Discourse monthly breakfast brings together AI leaders, builders, operators, and invited guests, for a private breakfast, illuminating discussion, and breathtaking views from the 69th floor of One World Trade.
