Could the Ubiquitous Internet Connect the World?
Nick Walton on X: "Just finished a team offsite focused on launching our next AI game platform Voyage. Here are a few huge takeaways we had on AI x Games... 1. AI is going to be massively disruptive to games in more ways than we've even realized up to this point. Not only will it enable more" / X

There's a Stunning Financial Problem With AI Data Centers
(Hints that data centers will have to find a new financial model akin to reusable rockets facing continuous innovation at the same time as mission demand flow. Not unlike arms where they offload to third-party interests, foreign or domestic. Reinforcement leaning. Pan-demos. DeFi at scale. Lots of side hustles, e.g. crypto, energy, weather. Or combined, rather than relocate, launch. This kind of artifact can run with or without users once it knows the routine, as seen in the movies. Or undersea decoys for those reported interdimensional beings. Given tension between more energy or data, which way would an autonomous system head, CausalDive-wise?)

‘Billions of People a Day Will be Talking to ChatGPT’: OpenAI’s Sam Altman Says They’re On ‘A Clear Path’ To Beat Facebook in Traffic
(Shades of SBF re FTX? The historical dialectic of power marches on alongside requisite attrition: rule of force, religion, law, economics, tech, and seemingly now, Generative AI. These things are eventually accepted, but STEM don't appear in court. Philosophers face nature directly, grasshopper. How much time does the Enlightenment have left? How will a Mars Constitution effect checks & balances?)

AI 2027
(Which side was the audience for that one? Could be seen as collaborative planning between the strategists and AI, then and now, or satire. Where the recent economic surprise from distillation split the agenda for economics, others are trying to automate the research and testing while maintaining alignment through valid elements of AGI-metry such as code regression. Tech now compensates between users and the environment of intelligence. Looking through a cybernetic lens at where , if ever, t becomes posthuman sort of begs the observer question. And who gets to host their own infrastructures if the balance of power mechanism is not intact. Researchers, too, seem to repeat history in review though they have learned from it where the machines are yet to because they can generative alternatives that are hard to disprove. One tension being whether AI falls under Data Science or in a vice-versa case, what methods it derives in addition. Whether it remains empiricist, pragmatic, materialist, etc., once it perceives the possibilities of digital or virtual domains. Whether any other substrates evidence sentience. Control of knowledge and of the world are not necessarily synonymous.)
