There are atleast seven other companies and not MS alone..

Cognizant, Infosys, Tata, Wipro, HCL, Capgemini, Microsoft and Adobe

China will also slow down. They are catching up with SOTA models due to distillation https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/cybersecurity-advisories/aa...

I cannot believe that the central crease could disappear altogether!

Suspiciously could not see reviews of it yet - usually bloggers like mkbhd get their hands on early, and they release the reviews moment the embargo is off, usually when live event is over. This time nothing.

The interesting thing is, most messages were ending with just one question of his. Examples:

- ..Does this polynomial map have any symmetry or other structure that makes this cancelation less miraculous?

- Given this structure can you see the non injectivity in a transparent way?

- ..But why is the jacobian from x u r to P Q R just a monomial?

- ..Is there a general theory of such twisted jacobians and do you have any sense why those particular dilation weights were used?

- Given this weight structure, why exactly is x given by a cubic equation from P,Q,R?

Also, looks like Terence Tao was doing lot of work and asking LLM to verify. This is inverse of the LLM trend, where LLM does the work and humans verify.

> ..because the entire AI bubble is a result of everybody running out of hypergrowth ideas, mostly because we're flat out of new interfaces.

Really? I thought the AI bubble happened because something genuinely novel had been invented. People immediately saw practical uses for it, and then it took on a life of its own - funding, superfunding, $trillions becoming part of day to day lingo.. etc.

AI is not in the same class as Vision Pro, which Ed Zitron is comparing it to. I personally found the overall tone to be a bit hyperbolic.

That would work other way too, EVs would be expensive to upgrade to newer models. Though nowadays it is not that big a concern, but battery pack replacement at some point need to be accounted for.

> Altman and other OpenAI executives have suggested that each of America’s leading AI developers allot 5 per cent of their equity to a vehicle like the Alaska Permanent Fund, a sovereign fund that invests the state’s oil wealth into stocks and pays dividends to the state government and residents.

Sounds like it is for benefit of public rather than govt' office, and this would continue to benefit public even after current US administration is out of picture.

OP to me sounds more authentic and seems to have inside information.

After a quick search I found a publication actually mentioning about these tools:

Ford previously told Business Insider that it had developed two bespoke AI-enhanced scanning tools that helped validate that cars were properly assembled before rolling off the lot. The tools, called AiTriz and MAIVs, both debuted in 2024. https://autos.yahoo.com/policy-and-environment/articles/ford...

And after doing cursory research on these tools, it is clear they are rudimentary (as compared to SOTA LLMs), they were essentially smartphone mounted on stands and doing visual checks using the camera - so OP could be very right.

Slow breathing (in yoga: pranayama) instantly down-regulates your nervous system by boosting vagal tone and lowering sympathetic "fight-or-flight" activity. When your breath lengthens, it signals your brain that you are completely safe, dropping your heart rate and lowering blood pressure.

It is perhaps very relevant what Chris Olah (Anthropic co-founder) said to pope..

I am a scientist. I lead a research team that studies the internal structure of these models—what is actually happening inside them. And I will be honest: we keep finding things that are mysterious, even unsettling. We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience. We find evidence of introspection. We find internal states that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease.

My feeling seems to be getting validated. Offlate GPT 5.5 seems to be more precise and to the point, whereas Opus 4.7 is verbose, not in bad way, but still is kind of distracting. This aligns with the report finding where they say Opus 4.7 looks at 'surrounding enviornment' and bring in those aspect during task completion.

Google seems to have made an official post on Reddit describing the feature set in detail:

[Edit]

And, the feature set references the 'AI mouse pointer' from this Deepmind blog..
