Apple raised Mac and iPad prices up to $300, but spared the iPhone. AI data centers consume 70% of the world's memory chips, and GoPro may not survive it. Also: two US AI labs released restricted models the same week.

We got @Google's VP of Search on AI Inside this week.

Liz Reid said that personalizing search results could actually help small publishers instead of burying them.

[Jason Howell @jasonhowell]

@jeffjarvis Liz Reid's filter bubble take was super interesting too: NOT personalizing search creates MORE filter bubbles, because people just go directly to one source and never see anything else.

Check out the full conversation: https://t.co/CX3NuBqxcr

[Jason Howell @jasonhowell]

We also got into why @cohere open-sources some models and keeps others locked (some, she says, are "too good to release"), what actually stops an AI agent from going rogue, and where AI belongs in medicine.

Days after the US government forced Anthropic to pull its two most powerful models offline worldwide, I got @cohere's Chief AI Officer @jpineau1 on the AI Inside podcast to give her take.

She said this is the exact scenario sovereign AI was built for.

[Jason Howell @jasonhowell]

Joelle Pineau on the shutdown: access to frontier AI "can be turned off really quickly." She also acknowledges that Cohere has its own US exposure.

One week ago, top-tier AI was relatively safe. Now a government can switch it off in an afternoon.

[Jason Howell @jasonhowell]

The government gave Anthropic 90 minutes to pull its most powerful AI offline. The call came from Amazon, Anthropic's own biggest investor.
Also: SpaceX bought Cursor for $60B in stock.

"Too Far Gone," my second single, is out today.

I rented a cabin, hauled all my gear, spent a week recording alone. Closet = Vocal booth, bathroom = guitar tracking.

This is the first song I finished.
