AI is only as effective as the infrastructure behind it.

That’s the point Mike Flannery President of Uniti Solutions, makes in his new Forbes Technology Council article, and it’s one every enterprise leader should read.

The demand for high-capacity data transport is accelerating fast. Digital corridors, the fiber-optic networks being built across North America and around the globe, are the foundation that will determine how scalable, resilient, and compliant your AI systems can actually be.

This is the infrastructure story of our era.

I tried bionic legs and e-hiked up a mountain—just the latest example of physical AI entering the real world.

The exoskeleton pushes and pulls on your legs, using AI-enabled software to detect movement and deliver the appropriate amount of power. I felt like a complete dork wearing it, and can only imagine the Strava uproar when these devices become more mainstream.

But there's a real case for these motorized supports expanding access to the outdoors for more people. Fresh air is a tonic that shouldn't be gate kept.

"If the FCC is very generous with their waivers, then presumably they'll issue waivers to a lot of the WiFi router vendors. On the other hand, if waivers are very difficult to obtain...that could potentially create a lot of problems."

Thanks Dwight!

I don't think I had fully appreciated how this works, but it's obvious now. NASA is aiming for a point in space where they know the moon will be. Like throwing to a receiver, but on a somewhat larger and faster scale.

We often hear about the importance of getting enough power to data centers, but without high speed fiber connections, data centers can't deliver.

@RepFedorchak asks today's witnesses to explain why building out our fiber infrastructure is critical in enabling these projects that help American businesses innovate and lead.

Some food for thought re: use of AI. Jobs are bundles of tasks, some of which can be done/aided AI. You still need to understand and manage the output. It becomes a productivity tool. I'm firmly in the learning stage ;-)

The @pmarca episode

Marc is a many-time founder, investor, co-creator of the web browser, co-founder of Netscape, the "a" in @a16z. In this very special conversation, we dig into why we’re living through one of the most unique times in history, and what comes next.

We discuss:
🔸 Why AI is arriving at the perfect moment to counter demographic collapse and declining productivity
🔸 How Marc is raising his 10yo kid to thrive in the AI future
🔸 The 3-way standoff that’s happening between PMs, designers, and engineers
🔸 What’s actually going to happen with AI and jobs (spoiler: he thinks the panic is “totally off base”)
🔸Why AI is "the philosopher’s stone" made real
🔸 Why you should still learn to code
🔸 His media diet: X and old books, nothing in between

Don't miss this one.

[Sandy Petersen 🪔 @SandyofCthulhu]

A guy who worked for TI back in the day told me that after they created the first electronic hand calculator, they got a call from Bell Telephone.

The folks from Bell sounded uncertain and worried. You see, when they were creating the first push-button phone, they did extensive tests to determine the exact best pattern for the numerical buttons - the pattern that would be easiest for people to tap in the dark or by muscle memory.

But now they were concerned they’d completely blundered, because they saw that TI’s machine had the exact opposite layout.

“So,” they asked. “What did your tests show?”

The guys at TI just stared stupidly and said “Tests?”
