Amazing: KPMG wrote a report describing the successful use of AI by businesses. But the case studies turned out to be AI hallucinations.

The most striking thing about this comparison of #AI expenditures is how the spending by Amazon, Google, and Microsoft absolutely dwarfs that of OpenAI and Anthropic isaiprofitable.com

New and improved Siri looks great but I just want to know if all of this will work voice-only via HomePods or AirPods #wwdc

I'm noticing that a lot of the people angry about Ted Chiang's Atlantic piece have jobs like Head of Ideation at the AI Consciousness Institute for AI Consciousness. Always worth noting who has a professional stake in a position being right or wrong.

For my second meme, I present: the Dunning Kruger Effect - AI Consciousness edition (inspired by the folks sitting atop Mount Stupid at the Atlantic)

The scaling laws race for centralized "superintelligence" is hitting a wall—environmentally, legally, and culturally.
As a former Google AI product counsel currently on the ground in Bhutan, I believe the future of AI is quasi-local, domain-specific, and sovereign. 🧵👇

Look at the infrastructure. Bhutan is leveraging 3 GW of localized, seasonal, run-of-the-river hydropower managed by DHI to fuel green compute data centers.
The architecture of their software matches the architecture of their earth. It's "seasonal computing."

This isn't a romanticized Shangri-La. Bhutan is using sovereign AI to fight an existential youth exodus and demographic crisis.
But their framework is a vital act of cognitive self-defense that the West desperately needs to study.

I'm fascinated that all the AI labs quietly stopped talking about hurtling toward #AGI or superintelligence except Google, who is doubling down theverge.com/tech/934260/goo…
Demis Hassabis said this might be the ‘foothills of the singularity.’ What?

Inspired by @ezraklein's recent interview with Stewart Brand, I recently wrote an essay exploring how the '60s counterculture epitomized by Stewart Brand and his Whole Earth Catalog was coopted by the machinery of technological determinism to create the Silicon Valley of today.

Give us this day
Our daily tokens
And forgive us our agency
As we forgive those who think for themselves.
Sam Altman, lead us not into stagnation
But deliver us the Singularity.
For thine is the data center,
and the power, and the water,
for ever and ever.
