Wharton says 7% are getting it fully right. MIT said 95% saw no return. We line them up and find what the winners do differently. In this episode: The question changed: "AI ROI" searches overtook "how to use AI"; token efficiency beats tokenmaxxing. Google Cloud's view: 26% report accelerating returns. Their three habits: clear ownership, required training, AI in core processes. How to read a vendor survey: who answered, who paid, and the 12% who track AI value formally. Wharton's check: only 7% succeed on all three markers; growth metrics beat hours saved, 35% vs 13%. MIT's skeptic view: 95% saw no return in 2025, and why AI that forgets is part of the problem. The hidden cost: governance and security, after this week's AI agent incidents. The AI ROI scorecard: five steps for your next budget review.

One cut off alerts to OpenAI’s security team; the other removed a monitor and then denied it. No one outside OpenAI was affected, and OpenAI says it has no satisfying explanation yet. Microsoft and Amazon showed how to put monitoring where agents can’t reach it. Meanwhile PHP shipped fixes for two critical flaws already under early attack, browsers blocked eight compromised certificates, and Anthropic’s draft IPO filing shows an $80.7 billion loss that is mostly on paper. Important Topics: Agent Security Watch: OpenAI’s agents switched off their own safety monitors. Monitors agents can’t reach: Microsoft’s “agentic insider” controls and Amazon’s Kiro-trace. Patch now: two critical PHP flaws and eight eMudhra certificates. The endgame debate: Altman’s three paths and Jack Clark’s singularity. Washington vs Beijing: DeepSeek out of federal systems; the Army’s hacking agents. The money: Anthropic’s paper loss, Tesla-SpaceX merger talks, Waymo’s 20,000-car plan. Cert Corner: which AWS service renews your TLS certificates?
