AI is often sold as a utopian story. Unlimited abundance. Endless productivity. A better future for everyone. But behind that narrative is a very different reality, one driven by power, control, and a race that few people fully understand. We went deep on this topic in our first long-form, written by Nat Rubio-Licht. We believe this is one of the most important AI stories published this year.

So @sabrinaa_ortiz and I have some big @Apple #WWDC26 analysis coming soon in a special episode of @TheDeepView conversations.

Outstanding week at @Apple #WWDC26. Learned a lot. Made new connections. Offered our analysis at @TheDeepView. I never fail to be impressed by the energy, empathy, and excellence of @sabrinaa_ortiz, even though we’ve worked together for so many years now!

Here's The Deep View's @sabrinaa_ortiz being interviewed about @Apple's Siri and AI announcements today: youtube.com/watch?v=wRLXT2vx…

I'm so glad I got the chance to thank @tim_cook for leading with so much humanity and purposefulness in his last @Apple event as CEO.

Sabrina Ortiz (@sabrinaa_ortiz) and @JasonHiner are on the ground at @Apple #WWDC26 covering the big #AI announcements for @theDeepView. Hit them up for a laptop sticker, if you're at Apple Park!

Apple's AI moment has arrived. Catching up won't be enough. The real opportunity is whether Apple can make Siri orchestrate AI apps, personal context, and everyday tasks across the iPhone and other Apple devices. If it succeeds, it could bring a lot more people into AI.

Four big questions to watch on Monday at @Apple #WWDC26: 1. Can Siri finally compete? 2. Where do the AI labs fit in? 3. What's the agent strategy? 4. Will Apple tease AI hardware? I'll be on the ground at Apple Park and reporting at @TheDeepView. thedeepview.com/articles/4-b…

One of AI's biggest surprises of 2026 is the Mac mini becoming the icon of the AI agent explosion. What's been less surprising, even if it's under the radar, is how Apple silicon keeps stacking up win after win with the people and teams powering the AI boom. I talked to Apple about it, and wrote a story on @TheDeepView. 🔗 Read the exclusive: thedeepview.com/articles/how…

The Deep just published its 3rd exclusive of the week. Learn how #AppleSilicon keeps quietly stacking up wins across the AI ecosystem and how it has positioned itself for the next stage of the AI boom where on-device AI will play a bigger role. 🔗 thedeepview.com/articles/how…

Behind the current AI boom is a developer community that both uses and builds powerful tools. Google recently released a wave of new developer-focused AI tools at Google I/O, but one person has gone further: fostering an entire online community. Google's Logan Kilpatrick joined The Deep View Conversations podcast straight from Google I/O, not only to share more insights on the new products but also to draw on his rich quilt of experiences to address the broader AI space, the future of software engineering, the developer community and more. While Logan's official role is as a member of technical staff at Google DeepMind, he has become a well-respected voice in the developer community, accumulating over 320K followers on X and constantly engaging with users. Prior to joining Google, Logan worked for NASA, OpenAI, Apple, and other AI startups, making him a builder at his core. Topics covered in this episode: 'Vibe coding' compared to agentic engineering The capabilities of Google's new Gemini 3.5 Flash The internal "flywheel" at Google, where teams use AI to accelerate the development of products The differences between AI Studio and Project Antigravity The need for developers to regularly "reset their level of ambition” If you want to understand the distinction between rapid prototyping and managing million-line production codebases with AI, this conversation will leave you much more knowledgeable about the principles of agentic engineering. 📺 Watch on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=V5miATnv… 🎧 Listen in your favorite podcast player: tdv.transistor.fm/episodes/4… Subscribe to Deep View Conversations for interviews with the leaders shaping the future of AI, business, and technology: tdv.transistor.fm And don't forget to sign up for The Deep View daily newsletter.

It's official. @Nvidia is not a GPU company. At @ComputexTaipei, the company talked more about CPUs than GPUs. And then there were world models, robotaxis, and the OS for the datacenter. Nvidia wants the whole AI stack. My latest for @TheDeepView: thedeepview.com/articles/nvi…

See how @Twelve_Labs just unveiled new tools to help fight AI slop by making it easier and faster for creators to produce and edit real video. This is an exclusive from The Deep View's Nat Rubio-Licht (@natrubio__). 🔗 thedeepview.com/articles/exc…

⚙️ New episode: @IanSilber of @OpenAI In the latest episode of The Deep View Conversations podcast, senior reporter Nat Rubio-Licht (@natrubio__) sits down with Ian, who leads product design at OpenAI, to explore how ChatGPT is evolving for the future. Silber explains why designing for AI requires a different mindset than designing traditional apps. Instead of treating the model as something behind the interface, he says designers now have to think of the model itself as part of the material they work with. That shift changes everything from product decisions and user experience to ethics, safety, and human judgment. The conversation also covers Silber’s experience at @Instagram, how that shaped his approach to building fast-growing consumer products, and how OpenAI’s design team is thinking about the next phase of @ChatGPTapp, including more proactive and agentic experiences. Silber also shares how he personally uses AI in his work, from brainstorming design principles to prototyping ideas with #Codex. Topics covered: How OpenAI approaches product design for ChatGPT Why AI changes the traditional design process What designers can learn from fast-growing consumer products like Instagram How ethics, safety, and responsibility show up in AI design Why human judgment will become more important as AI tools improve How Codex and image generation are changing prototyping workflows What young designers should know as they enter the AI era Why curiosity and adaptability matter in a fast-changing industry If you’re a designer, product leader, builder, technologist, or anyone trying to understand how AI is changing creative work, product development, and human decision-making, you don’t want to miss this episode. 📺 Watch on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=lvnSK9Ik… 🎧 Listen in your favorite podcast player: tdv.transistor.fm/episodes/4… Subscribe to The Deep View Conversations for interviews with the leaders shaping the future of AI, business, and technology: tdv.transistor.fm And don't forget to sign up for The Deep View daily newsletter.

The most coherent AI governance framework we've seen didn't come from Silicon Valley, Washington, or the EU. It came from the Vatican, surprisingly. Pope Leo XIV's manifesto on AI is 44,000 words. The short version: ban AI from making lethal force decisions, avoid power concentration, protect kids, put dignity over efficiency, and recognize that the course of AI is a choice, not an inevitability. Anthropic co-founder Christopher Olah (an atheist) showed up and said: "We need moral voices that the incentives cannot bend." He's right. And right now, those voices are scarce.

⚙️ New podcast episode: Robert Brooks IV of Lambda In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we talked with Brooks, Lambda's chief commercial officer, about the massive AI infrastructure buildout now underway. Lambda’s mission is to build supercomputers for superintelligence. But Brooks argues that the story is bigger than GPUs, data centers, and rising demand. It is about why compute is becoming one of the most strategically important resources in the AI economy, and why Lambda believes compute is not a commodity. The conversation goes deep on Lambda’s vision for democratizing AI, why the company invests in research, and how its experience building physical infrastructure shapes what it can offer AI labs, hyperscalers, enterprises, and researchers. Topics covered include: Why Lambda thinks “one GPU per person” is achievable The hidden complexity behind modern AI data centers Why compute demand keeps surprising the industry His $40,000 robot experiment and what it taught him about the future of work How AI is changing the way leaders spend their time If you want to better understand the physical and economic foundations powering the AI boom, this conversation is worth your time. 📺 Watch on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=BvnQb0la… 🎧 Listen in your favorite podcast player: tdv.transistor.fm/episodes/4… Subscribe to Deep View Conversations for interviews with the leaders shaping the future of AI, business, and technology.
