"Nobody has actually lost their job to AI. They lost it due to the promise of AI." - @tankots Meta cut 8,000. Intuit cut 3,000. Anthropic is paying $1.25B a month for compute. China is winning the open-source war. And the Pope just called for AI to be disarmed. This week we covered these topics and more with: - Erik Bernhardsson (@bernhardsson) is running the GPU cloud powering it all at @modal. - Tanay Kothari (@tankots) is running $100M in marketing with two humans and a swarm of agents at @WisprFlow. - Richard Socher (@RichardSocher) is building recursive self-improving superintelligence at @Recursive_SI and the future of AI search at @youdotcom.
