Good morning, Broadsheet readers! Paris Hilton's entertainment company pulled an ad campaign on X, Flo from Progressive celebrates a decade and a half on the air, and Fortune senior writer Alicia Adamczyk writes about OpenAI's new board of directors. Have a great Monday!

- Seat at the table. When the OpenAI chaos finally quieted down last week, the media was quick to name winners. Sam Altman—the OpenAI cofounder and CEO who was fired by OpenAI's board, then hired by Microsoft, then reinstated as OpenAI CEO—certainly came out on top. So did Microsoft, the biggest investor in the ChatGPT-developer, which ended the week with deeper ties to Altman and his posse of devoted employees. Capitalists too were triumphant; the board reshuffle that led to Altman's return expelled members who approached AI cautiously in favor of those who appear more eager to commercialize its power.

It is probably a stretch to say that women were the losers when all was said and done; but if they weren't the losers, they were certainly left out.
