Microsoft spent years building Copilot around a single model maker, and the fix turned out to be paying for a competitor's. Amith Nagarajan and Mallory Mejias unpack three stories that matter for association leaders weighing their AI choices. They trace how Charles Lamanna convinced Satya Nadella to put Claude inside Copilot, explain what "model monogamy" cost Microsoft, and consider whether your association should keep its Copilot licenses or equip power users with more. They break down Meta's return to the frontier with Muse Wonder, why its new models are proprietary rather than open-weight, and how to choose between frontier labs when capabilities are this close. They also unpack the Third Circuit's ruling in Thomson Reuters v. Ross, the first appeals court decision on fair use for AI training. Along the way, Amith makes the case that protecting your content starts with knowing where it goes and whose incentives you're trusting. ย ๐ค Join the AI Mastermind: https://sidecar.ai/association-ai-mastermind
