Well, this situation is confusing.

The agentic AI stack has standards for connecting tools and defining skills, but it still has no standard protocol to share assets across organizations and platforms. Today that means copying files, custom point-to-point integrations, and fragmented vendor-specific marketplaces. This week we launched OpenSharing, the next evolution of Delta Sharing and the first open protocol to cover agent skills, AI models, and unstructured data. It is now a Linux Foundation project, available on GitHub. @fredericl covers the full story for @thenewstack: thenewstack.io/databricks-op…

The daily brief in the Gemini app is pretty useless, but AI Inbox in Gmail may be worse. I had high hopes for these, but both are pretty pointless in their current state.

What did United do for MAGA to try to bankrupt it?
These morons actually think airlines are going to divert all international flights from NYC, NJ, CHI, LA, SF, DEN, PHI, SEA and other cities to red states because of Markwayne’s edict. Stunningly stupid.

They should’ve just brought back Google Now and everybody would’ve been happy.

Tried to make a video with Gemini Omni. It insisted that “co-work” should be pronounced “cow-work.” Told it to fix it twice. Didn’t work. And now I’m out of Gemini tokens until the afternoon…

This is very real. Been driving through there for almost 20 years. First there was Adobe and LinkedIn, now it’s every major player. One data center after another.

I just handed in my resignation at OpenAI
Feb 28
Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.
Community note
Government officials have contradicted Sam’s claim, saying OpenAI will allow the DoW to use their models for “all lawful purposes”. This could allow for uses Anthropic refused to engage in, namely mass surveillance tools and weapons systems with no human oversight. x.com/undersecretary…

Great conversation with @fredericl at @thenewstack about NanoClaw and why minimal code is a security philosophy, not just an aesthetic. He asked what's next for NanoClaw. My answer: it's gonna get smaller. thenewstack.io/nanoclaw-mini…

Anthropic tells me that nothing is changing about how people are using the Agents SDK and OAuth flow for OpenClaw etc. today. I specifically asked about these personal agents running locally. thenewstack.io/anthropic-age…

Most teams buy GPU compute and assume their models will just scale, but in reality, much of their investment isn't efficiently utilized. Lightning AI CTO @lantiga sat down for an interview with @thenewstack and @fredericl, and explained how Lightning helps AI teams get more from each dollar of compute. From training to inference, teams can speed up their models while saving on GPUs. It’s not just about the GPU or kernel level, it’s profiling, chunking, and overlapping every part of your pipeline.

🙏When my house burned down, my next-door neighbors were also impacted. One of the people who lived there was an older, autistic gentleman who loved his baseball card collection & classic, B&W 50's/60's TV shows on DVD. If anyone would like to donate items for him, my PO Box is:
