Narrative violation: A new study of 21,559 firms in the U.S. finds that “companies that adopt AI tend to grow faster following adoption”.
“Firms making the largest AI investments grow employment by roughly 10% following adoption, while low-intensity adopters see no statistically significant change.”
“Entry-level headcount rises 12% for high-intensity adopters.”
“Gains emerge gradually and are broad across roles, including engineering, sales, administration, and customer service.”
“The results counter predictions that AI adoption will lead to broad job loss.”
The study is based on observed AI spending from Ramp card and bill pay data linked to Revelio Labs workforce records.
Historic!
The EU becomes the very first continent to set clear rules for the use of AI 🇪🇺
The #AIAct is much more than a rulebook — it's a launchpad for EU startups and researchers to lead the global AI race.
The best is yet to come! 👍
Many smart people/AI insiders are saying GLM-5.2 is the first Chinese AI model to match and often beat the American big lab public AI models with no compromises. Incredible timing given current events.
Frontier labs cannot stand independently. Only a handful of governments and industrial hyperscalers can have reliable access to the resources required for AI factories and research.
The most ironic outcome;
Once the cycle ends,
xAI is the only lab that survived
Simply because they pivoted into a cashflow machine, selling compute
The universe has a sense of humour
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
I fear something terrible has happened.
It's not your decision to make, Bernie, whether a price is "unacceptable." That belongs to the people making the purchase, not a government bureaucrat who imagines he knows what a thing ought to cost. If the price is too high, men don't buy it, and Apple lowers it. That is the only authority required: the free judgment of the buyer.
You want to talk greed? Greed is wanting what you did not earn and seizing it by force. Cook offered you a phone you are free to refuse. You offer the public nothing and demand the power to dictate terms to a company you never built, with money you never made.
Apple's "profits" are millions of voluntary choices to trade. Your career is the opposite: taking by law what men would not give you by choice. One of you produced the value. The other just wants the power to command it.
The greed isn't in Cupertino. It's in the Senate seat that confuses a vote with ownership of other people's work.
Asmongold explains Keir Starmer's resignation using a WoW raid strategy and it makes perfect sense
"Labour just performed a tank swap. Starmer had too many debuffs so they pulled him out and brought in a new tank."
"The new guy is going to do the same thing for the same raid. They're tanking the same boss in the same way."
"You're Onyxia. Don't fall for the tank swap. He's not the organization. You didn't win, they just reset your aggro."
This is a new paradigm for interacting with Claude that is significantly more "inline" with all the other human activity org-wide. Once you do all of the under the hood engineering work to make this "just work" (e.g. across tools, integrations, compute environments, memory, security, etc.), Claude basically joins the team in a seamless way - you can talk to it as you would talk to a person and it can help with a very large variety of workloads.
Imo this is the 3rd major redesign of LLM UIUX. The first paradigm was that the LLM is a website you go to, the second was that it is an app you download to your computer. This third one is that it is a self-contained, persistent, asynchronous entity with org-wide tools and context, working alongside teams of humans. It really takes a while to wrap your head around it, but it works and it is awesome.
I’m bullish AI and re-industrialization, and an Elon believer. But boy does this sound like the sort of thinking you hear in the beginning of a bubble.
One of the things that makes @SpaceX so valuable is how valuable it is. The Cursor acquisition costs materially less in dilution because of SpaceX’s high valuation.
SpaceX’s ability to do economically, strategically, and technologically accretive acquisitions is an important component of its value.
There is enormous value inherent to a company with a high value particularly when it is controlled by an entrepreneur that the most talented people want to work for and partner with.
Value begets value.
Talent begets talent.
1. If you need the government to parent for you, you’re a shitty parent
2. If you accept that the government has a role in parenthood, you’re a government slave cuck
3. We know this isn’t about the children, it’s censorship and surveillance, so cut the bullshit
I think possibly the best thing about Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire is how angry it makes a bunch of losers who've never built a thing in their lives.
