What if the greatest threat from AI isn't the singularity, but a drained power grid and empty water reservoirs? The process of training a large AI model is incredibly energy-intensive. One training run alone can use enough electricity to power 120 U.S. homes for a year. Data…

Met with a man who passed this out ahead of time as part of the brief for the meeting. He clearly used an LLM to make his bio…but forgot to proofread it.

The most dangerous bug in B2B AI is the plausible yet incorrect hallucination, not the failure that breaks everything. It’s the just barely incorrect summary or the slightly flawed RAG response. When everything breaks, the damage is done and nothing else happens. With these…

Moore's Law may be slowing down for hardware, but a new Moore's Law for software is taking its place. We're no longer getting massive performance gains just from waiting for better chips…we're getting them by using AI to write more efficient algorithms.

Today I had a great time chatting with Commerce and Industry Minister @PiyushGoyal in Delhi about AI and technological innovation in India. We exchanged views on the startup ecosystem and discussed the opportunities and risks that AI poses to the Indian people and their economy.…

For AI PMs, this research is highlighting that you can't always just make 'data-driven decisions'. These tactics increase usage, and probably help you meet your engagement KPI goals when you look at the data, but does that justify the decision? A decision that raises concerns…

I had a great time catching up with Mark in NYC to chat about all things AI, superintelligence, and the metaverse (that's still a thing, right?). Seems a bit unreal? That's because it is. This image is fully AI, made with @GoogleDeepMind 's new 'nano banana' image model that I…

“Make the spotlights the colors of the Indian flag”. Insane from nano banana in @GeminiApp .

As the technical capabilities of AI models become a commodity, the only durable moat left is taste. The ability to curate the right data, design the right user experience, and define a unique, opinionated point of view will be the ultimate differentiator.

The job of a product manager is rapidly shifting from writing reqs to designing evals and scoring rubrics. A new core competency is defining the evals that can reliably judge the AI's output. If you can't measure it, you can't build it.

I tried a new feature in @GeminiApp called "Storybook," and it's a window into the future of individualized learning for kids. I wanted to see how far I could push it, so I gave it a specific educational topic and a unique style. Then, I uploaded a photo of myself and asked it…

Data as a moat is dying. In an era where high-quality synthetic data can be generated on demand, your moat can’t be how much data you have; it's the quality of your feedback loops. The company that builds the tightest, most insightful connection between its model and its human…

The next Disney won't be a movie studio. It will be a company that builds a single, massive, generative "storyworld" and gives users the AI tools to create and share their own infinite adventures within it. The business model shifts from selling a single story to selling access…

The AI hardware race isn't just about building a better pin or smarter glasses. It's about finding the first killer app that provides so much use-case value, people are willing to look a little weird in public to use it.
