Back with @kantrowitz.bsky.social this week talking through the prospects of an OpenAI IPO (eventually), the risks of "AGI or Bust", and the inevitability of a market correction and what that might mean for this moment (and more)...

Behold, the magic of taking 49 words and turning it into 3,000 words.

Always great to chat with @kantrowitz.bsky.social , this month I think we really kick into gear after the bit about "SuperUltraMegaIntelligence" about half way through. All high heat from that point on...

I wrote about Dario www.bigtechnology.com/p/the-making...

Enjoyed this conversation with Ed. Take a look!

The stuff I naturally read and write about I will now *talk* about on a monthly basis with @kantrowitz.bsky.social. 🗣️ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

It’s kind of amazing that Elon’s lost control of Grok

Apple’s $20 Billion Ticking Time Bomb. Time to start thinking about what happens to the company if Google's annual payments go away. It's not pretty. www.bigtechnology.com/p/apples-20-...

In a world where screens fade away and AI steps forward, where is Apple's place? www.bigtechnology.com/p/apple-desi...

@chrislhayes.bsky.social you were right!

The best podcast I've found to keep abreast of AI developments is the Big Technology podcast. I'm glad they had @emilymbender.bsky.social & @alexhanna.bsky.social on this week, and @garymarcus.bsky.social last week. AI skepticism is growing! open.spotify.com/episode/7uo3...

Thanks @kantrowitz.bsky.social for a refreshingly unbiased discussion of China’s AI efforts with Grace Shao. youtu.be/pksvCuoCOWs?...

As Zuckerberg testified that people spend less time with friend content than ever before, OpenAI released a new model that will be a friend that shares with you. Now that AIs have personalities, AI is the new social media. www.bigtechnology.com/p/why-ai-is-...

Social media succeeded by playing to outrage while AI is succeeding just by being useful. Both are discovery tools. Why the difference?

OpenAI is going to call GPT-5 AGI, lock it in

Really good talk with Grace Shao by @kantrowitz.bsky.social Recorded a month ago, so Grace added some notes on her substack aiproem.substack.com/p/podcast-th... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Upon further review, it turns out that social media is indeed biased

Plenty of under appreciated risks for Big Tech as the tariff imbroglio rolls on www.bigtechnology.com/p/big-techs-...

Whoops

The thing about the tariffs-as-a-negotiation-tactic play is it now takes more one bad thing to really send things off the rails

“Biblical demand”

World History Encyclopedia, the second most visited history site, says its traffic fell 25% in Nov. 2024 after AI search tools began presenting its information (Alex Kantrowitz/Big Technology) Main Link | Techmeme Permalink

The World History Encyclopedia lost 25% of its traffic since AI tools started surfacing its info. The web’s old deal (sites publish, search engines send traffic) is breaking. ChatGPT flipped the script, and now more sites will wall off content or die as ad revenue dries up. And the web gets worse

Thanks @kantrowitz.bsky.social for the fantastic discussion with Yann LeCun about LLMs. What they can and can’t do currently. What’s needed to actually achieve reasoning and new discoveries. youtu.be/qvNCVYkHKfg?...

World History Encyclopedia CEO Jan van der Crabben saw his site show up in Google's AI Overviews and ChatGPT. Then traffic dropped 25%. www.bigtechnology.com/p/as-ai-take...

Pretty amazing how Elon Musk's X is now the greatest marketing tool for OpenAI, his arch rival, with all these Ghibli images filling the feed. h/t @mgsiegler.com
