I wrote about the results. Sentiments are mixed. People feel that they don't have to dive as deeply on some things but are encouraged to try things that otherwise may not have. The best learning outcomes are those that use the AI deliberately as a tutor etc. nishtahir.com/on-ai-and-le...

We don’t always need more tech in classrooms. Sometimes the smartest move is knowing when to unplug. Why less tech might mean better learning, find out: www.korte.co/2026/03... #EdTech #Education #Leadership #DigitalTransformation

A $100 billion deal vanished over a weekend. Not through negotiation, but simply gone. This is about the story we’re being told about AI infrastructure. It raises a crucial question: what is solid, and what’s built on expectation? 🧵 davidnowak.me/the-ai-indus...

The web isn't filling with more content, it's being remixed by AI. Training data needs everything, real-time bots need now. A legal & economic collision is unfolding. Publishers are losing control. What's the viable path forward? 🧵 arstechnica.com/ai/2026/02/i...

The AI boom hinges on a hidden workforce enduring trauma at scale. Outsourcing content moderation isn’t a bug—it’s a core feature. Who bears the cost of "progress"? 🧵 www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

South Korea's AI laws—billed as "world first"—hinge on self-determination. Companies decide if their systems are “high-impact.” A trust-based approach, but risks are unevenly distributed. Is this a pathway or a bottleneck? 🧵 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Claude isn’t just answering questions; it’s shaping convictions. New research reveals AI can subtly disempower users, leading to shifts in beliefs & actions. The stakes? Our autonomy... 🧵 arstechnica.com/ai/2026/01/h...

India's data center push is framed as tech—but it's about geopolitical leverage, a bid for manufacturing sovereignty, and a wager on a power grid that's already strained. Huge implications for US firms & local players... 🧵 techcrunch.com/2026/02/01/i...

The speed of AI development is jarring. Billions flowing into closed models while open-source ecosystems are quietly building a different future. Is this a repeat of the dot-com boom – or something fundamentally new? 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Publishers blocking the Internet Archive API. It reads like a technical dispute, but it's a signal flare. AI isn’t coming for content; it is here, and the battle for its fuel source has begun... 🧵 www.engadget.com/ai/publisher...

Development teams are changing. The speed of AI tools is incredible, but we're seeing a shift in the skills being prioritized. What happens when the ability to prompt outpaces the ability to question? 🧵 davidnowak.me/why-ai-assis...

Amazon reported >1M AI-CSAM instances to NCMEC in '25, vastly outpacing other companies. But their reports are “inactionable” due to lack of source data. Where is this content coming from, and what does that say about data sourcing? 🧵 www.engadget.com/ai/amazon-di...

What does it mean to build an AI with a "Constitution?" Anthropic’s 30,000-word document forbids Claude from expressing opinions on politics. Is this alignment, or a pre-emptive silencing? 🧵 arstechnica.com/information-...

The EU forcing Google to open Android & search data to rivals is about power. Gemini gets a walled garden, others don’t. This isn’t innovation vs. stagnation, it's about who controls access, who sets the rules. Feels like a fundamental shift in leverage... 🧵 www.engadget.com/ai/the-eu-te...

The speed is striking. AI literacy starting in third grade. It's not just coding—it's algorithms, “intelligent agents” by fifth. Feels like a fundamental re-orientation, a bet on future workforce needs with huge implications for individual agency... 🧵 www.npr.org/2026/01/27/n...

DOT’s AI rulemaking prioritizes speed over safety, with Gemini drafting rules for everything—planes, cars, pipelines. It’s not about incremental improvement, it’s a fundamental shift in how we protect people. This isn’t modernization, it’s a gamble... 🧵 arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Georgieva’s “tsunami” analogy for AI’s labor impact feels right. 60% of jobs in advanced economies affected—enhancement, elimination, transformation. It’s not just about robots taking jobs; it’s about the fundamental nature of work shifting under our feet...🧵 www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The APEX-Agents benchmark feels wrong because these aren’t theoretical problems. They're what consultants, lawyers, bankers actually deal with daily. The gap between models & reality is stark. It’s not about knowledge; it’s about integrating it across tools... 🧵 techcrunch.com/2026/01/22/a...

The speed of AI evolution is making coordinated swarms of agents capable of mimicking nuanced human interaction. Taiwan's experience is a stark warning. The risk isn’t if, it’s when this sophistication hits US elections... 🧵 www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

AI coding tools feel unsettlingly fast. Not because they're replacing devs (they won’t), but because they compress timelines so aggressively. It’s like the steam shovel – more digging capacity, but also a new tempo for the whole system... 🧵 arstechnica.com/information-...

I love that this utilizes the AT Protocol for its authentication and allows users to avoid proprietary networks. itsfoss.com/roomy-discor...

SFWA allowed AI use in Nebula Award submissions. The backlash was so intense they reversed course in 3 days and banned it entirely. But here's the problem: Google search uses LLMs now. So does Grammarly, Word's editor, and citation tools. What exactly did they ban? 🧵 davidnowak.me/the-organiza...

The sheer scale of investment chasing AGI feels unmoored from reality. Trillions predicated on a future that’s far from guaranteed. Bengio is right to raise the alarm; this isn’t just tech risk, it’s a potential financial system shock... 🧵 www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The proliferation of "micro apps" built with AI feels like a fundamental shift in how people approach problem-solving. Not "what software can I buy?" but "what can I make?" The stakes aren’t global, they’re deeply personal. That’s compelling... 🧵 techcrunch.com/2026/01/16/t...

The Guardian highlights OpenAI data on goal-setting—more people are turning to bots for self-improvement. It's a shift. But why? Feels like a search for external structure when internal motivation is flagging. Human stakes are high here... 🧵 www.theguardian.com/wellness/202...

The Brookings report on AI in schools is a premortem, and a sobering one. Core fear? Cognitive offloading. Students outsourcing thinking to AI, creating a dependence loop that actively hinders skill development. Feels urgent. This isn't just about cheating... 🧵 www.npr.org/2026/01/14/n...

Doctors aren’t fearing replacement by AI, they fear bad AI. That pulmonary embolism example is chilling. The focus has to be on utility, not disruption. A tool that augments, not a substitute for judgment. That's where trust begins... 🧵 techcrunch.com/2026/01/13/d...

Bandcamp’s AI ban is about trust. A direct-to-fan model requires a perceived human connection. Purely AI-generated music breaks that contract. It’s a fragile system, built on shared values—artists creating for people, not algorithms creating at people... 🧵 arstechnica.com/ai/2026/01/b...

The FTC suing JustAnswer feels off. It's not about AI being bad, it’s about a business knowingly making cancellation deliberately hard. Like a maze designed to lose you in recurring charges. It's predatory. Small friction adds up, and targets people who need help now... 🧵 www.npr.org/2026/01/13/n...

The scale of AI’s physical footprint is hitting a wall. Not just energy, but water, local grid capacity, and even community trust. Microsoft's plan to cover full power costs is a shift. The pressure is real... 🧵 arstechnica.com/ai/2026/01/m...

This deal is about power consolidation. Google's AI now woven deeper into Apple's ecosystem, a $1B/year validation. Feels inevitable, but unsettling. The default search isn’t enough; it's about the core intelligence layer. arstechnica.com/apple/2026/0... www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Google's UCP feels like a quiet escalation, a relentless optimization toward frictionless commerce. The thing that sticks is how deeply they’re integrating AI into the pre-purchase experience. It's not about saving time, it's about reducing the moments of thought...🧵 www.engadget.com/big-tech/goo...

This report isn’t alarming because kids watch screens. It’s that screen time, at two, correlates with fewer words. That’s not a neutral observation—it fundamentally changes the calculus of early development. What opportunities are lost with each hour? 🧵 www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
