Grammarly just rebranded itself Superhuman (yes, like the email app it bought), and OpenAI decided “nonprofit” was too slow for world domination.

Meanwhile, Nvidia’s worth more than most countries, Meta’s burning billions on AI bets, and MoviePass thinks you’re ready to be a Hollywood mogul.

Let’s dive in before the next company renames itself “God Mode.”

Grammarly Becomes Superhuman. Literally.

Grammarly pulls a brand flip, renaming the company to Superhuman and launching a new AI assistant. The move follows buying the email client in July, because if you can’t beat the inbox, become it.

Strategically, this turns a feature into a platform play across writing and mail. Expect tighter cross-surface automation, bundle experimentation, and a harder pitch to enterprise buyers. Risks: brand equity whiplash, SEO debt, and migration headaches for long-time users. Upside: a clearer wedge against Microsoft and Google if the assistant proves sticky beyond email.

OpenAI Goes Full Business Mode

OpenAI will reorganize into a for‑profit to raise more capital, rewrite comp, and move faster; mission-first meets margin math.

The shift unlocks outside capital at scale, sweeter equity for talent, and bigger bets on chips and frontier models.

Tradeoffs: more regulatory heat, greater investor pull on research priorities, and pressure-testing safety promises. Expect quicker ship cycles, pricing moves, and tighter enterprise lock-in; rivals face a higher scale bar. Watch the cap table, board independence, and any safety‑veto in the new governance setup.
