At long last @amazon’s Kuiper finally launched. It’s the long-planned low Earth orbit satellite network that will compete against Starlink to disrupt our current internet infrastructure. https://t.co/1o6UguaAuY

This benchmark uses literary character monologues and expert analyses as ground truth to measure how well an agent's generated "inner thoughts" match its motivations and reasoning patterns. Which is fun if you want to gauge Ironman's thoughts on your pitch deck...

Would Tony Stark fund your startup? There's a new AI benchmark that might answer the question. The Turing Test (and others) judge an AI system's conversational ability, but ROLETHINK assesses whether the agent's "internal reasoning" aligns with the character it portrays.

This was (and still is) my core argument: AI development is not just a tech issue—it’s a geopolitical and economic one. Tariffs are not the whole story, though it’s the current mode we’re in. The U.S. and China are engaged in a deepening rivalry in which AI becomes a tool of

If you're fixated only on AI, you're missing the bigger picture. 2 more technologies are converging with #AI to form something called "Living Intelligence." Sorry folks, but we aren't preparing correctly for what's ahead. Read my latest in @HarvardBiz https://t.co/sI3msYJG3T
