Laying off people due to AI is tacit admission of lack of moat. Combined with AI’s elimination of IP I’m interested to see what startups start competing from a lean basis going forward.
Amazon has announced that it will cut an estimated 14,000 jobs from its corporate workforce as it focuses on “reducing bureaucracy, removing layers, and shifting resources,” according to the company. https://t.co/yH6zkrDGpk

The way tiny networks take down large language models like it's nothing. Bigger isn't always better.

Samsung’s Galaxy XR is finally here, and with it, a perfect middle-ground of price and features to simultaneously turn up the competitive pressure on both Meta and Apple. Over many years I had been...

Go and create something! Life is short, opportunities are rare to spend on yourself.

Actually, re-posting this as someone inclined to think "hot damn, these are dark times we're going through" thanks to the generally doom-filled feed you get on X.
Beware of people telling you that “these are dark times.” They are invested in you believing this. They are counting on financially profiting off you hating life. They are not your friends. Live it up. There’s a reason you’re here right now.

Damnit, only two more weeks of GBBO left. Going to have to find some other tether to sanity.

In addition to running @RtoVR, I also host the Inside XR Design video series with deep dives exploring key concepts that make great immersive content. See all the episodes here: https://t.co/jwXSCyKqQ4 or read on for a summary of each to see if there's one you want to dive into.

Amazing reference.
Stunning. This has to be some of the best footage of a plane emerging into the centre of a hurricane I’ve ever seen. Meteorologically, Melissa is absolutely textbook. https://t.co/p6QyzOYGkY

So, yes this is great news for IP and the little guy. Bad news for the AI industry yet it was entirely avoidable. The only reason it happened was because of the desire to make direct profit from the output of GenAI text and image models. Now nearly every ML field will suffer :/
In huge positive news, the Australian government just ruled out handing the work of their country’s creatives to AI companies for free 🙌 They resisted the well-funded tech lobby & shut down proposals to upend copyright law. This shows what creatives organising en masse against

NEO just proved every major AI lab built their vision models wrong 💀 OpenAI, Google, Anthropic... they all use the same approach: train a vision encoder, bolt it onto an LLM, pray the alignment works. NEO said "what if we just... didn't do that?" and built a native

The issue is simply building without a problem to solve. You can work on purely abstract problems for a certain amount of time, but in business it’s a bridge out over a chasm. It needs to reach a solid tangible place before budget (and that budget can be consumer goodwill) runs
Gen AI is what happens when you ship something about 8 years too early and hope it doesn't catch up with you.

Grim thought. If money isn't value, being fiat currency. The government modifies this at will after all. Then we're not creating value. The SV dream was the value. The better way of working, the better lives. Everything that's been stripped away. We're actually in the asset
