Here are some of the the major AI trends shaping 2026 — based on current expert forecasts, industry reports, and recent developments in technology. The material is analyzed using AI tools and final version hand-edited to this blog text:
1. Generative AI Continues to Mature
Generative AI (text, image, video, code) will become more advanced and mainstream, with notable growth in:
* Generative video creation
* Gaming and entertainment content generation
* Advanced synthetic data for simulations and analytics
This trend will bring new creative possibilities — and intensify debates around authenticity and copyright.
2. AI Agents Move From Tools to Autonomous Workers
Rather than just answering questions or generating content, AI systems will increasingly act autonomously, performing complex, multi-step workflows and interacting with apps and processes on behalf of users — a shift sometimes called agentic AI. These agents will become part of enterprise operations, not just assistant features.
3. Smaller, Efficient & Domain-Specific Models
Instead of “bigger is always better,” specialized AI models tailored to specific industries (healthcare, finance, legal, telecom, manufacturing) will start to dominate in many enterprise applications. These models are more accurate, legally compliant, and cost-efficient than general models.
4. AI Embedded Everywhere
AI won’t be an add-on feature — it will be built into everyday software and devices:
* Office apps with intelligent drafting, summarization, and task insights
* Operating systems with native AI
* Edge devices processing AI tasks locally
This makes AI pervasive in both work and consumer contexts.
5. AI Infrastructure Evolves: Inference & Efficiency Focus
More investment is going into inference infrastructure — the real-time decision-making step where models run in production — thereby optimizing costs, latency, and scalability. Enterprises are also consolidating AI stacks for better governance and compliance.
6. AI in Healthcare, Research, and Sustainability
AI is spreading beyond diagnostics into treatment planning, global health access, environmental modeling, and scientific discovery. These applications could help address personnel shortages and speed up research breakthroughs.
7. Security, Ethics & Governance Become Critical
With AI handling more sensitive tasks, organizations will prioritize:
* Ethical use frameworks
* Governance policies
* AI risk management
This trend reflects broader concerns about trust, compliance, and responsible deployment.
8. Multimodal AI Goes Mainstream
AI systems that understand and generate across text, images, audio, and video will grow rapidly, enabling richer interactions and more powerful applications in search, creative work, and interfaces.
9. On-Device and Edge AI Growth
10. New Roles: AI Manager & Human-Agent Collaboration
Instead of replacing humans, AI will shift job roles:
* People will manage, supervise, and orchestrate AI agents
* Human expertise will focus on strategy, oversight, and creative judgment
This human-in-the-loop model becomes the norm.

So, is AI coding actually making software better? This video breaks down why the push for AI efficiency is causing a surge in code churn and security flaws, effectively turning senior developers into full-time janitors. It explores how this shift is hollowing out the junior talent pipeline and creating a ‘diamond’ industry structure that could lead to a severe tech sector contraction. #AI #SoftwareEngineering

Google stock price crashes and wipes $500 billion off company amid panic over AI
https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/google-stock-price-shares-ai-artificial-intelligence-b3076018.html?fbclid=IwdGRjcAVQlfpjbGNrBVCV3WV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHBkb2YFc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMzUwNjg1NTMxNzI4AAEfjpoL1uwImJRf7bHWLfB3hcuYgIZf5hsm6od8LaSkf8fLa6QXf21JXlvMjDY_aem_zCff8hUJZXZpVBzgvEhMyg
Google’s share price has dramatically plunged amid a panic over AI.
Parent company Alphabet finished Thursday down more than 12 per cent, wiping $500 billion from its value. It represents the biggest ever crash in Google’s history, and second only among US listed companies to a $593 billion plunge in Nvidia’s value last year, after the rise of China’s DeepSeek AI brought concerns that US artificial intelligence companies could lose the race.
It comes after Alphabet’s latest results showed disappointing earnings in its search advertising business and the full scale of its vast spending on artificial intelligence. But shareholders are concerned that those huge bets may not come off, and that the company and the rest of the tech industry may not recover its investment in AI.
The results did show that Google is already earning from the AI boom, with revenues in its cloud business more than doubling. But investors are concerned that in the search business that still represents a large part of its earnings, Google is yet to see its embrace of AI results turning into profit.
Google and its chief executive Sundar Pichai have looked to aggressively embrace AI, after a relatively slow start against other companies such as OpenAI. It has begun to use its Gemini model to answer many search queries, for instance – despite the fact that advertising in search results has been a reliably huge business for parent company Alphabet.

A Defense Contractor Gave Their Personal AI Agent Access to a Secure Pentagon System
Sources tell WIRED that an Accenture employee’s personal Claude agent ran on a DOD network for two months before it was identified and the vulnerability could be patched.
https://www.wired.com/story/a-defense-contractor-gave-their-personal-ai-agent-access-to-a-secure-pentagon-system/
Earlier this year, sources tell WIRED, a contractor caused a security incident at the Department of Defense by connecting a secure centralized system used by multiple intelligence agencies to their personal account for Claude Code, Anthropic’s AI coding agent. It appears that the agent used by the contractor, who is employed by global consulting firm Accenture, then sent information about the DOD system, including login credentials, to a high-risk third-party website.

For quite some time now, human musicians have watched in horror as AI-generated slop has started drowning out their work on streaming platforms.
Companies like Spotify have discovered entire networks of bots that were designed to fraudulently boost the listenership of AI-generated music, a bizarre scheme essentially involving bots listening to bot music to capture royalties that could’ve otherwise been paid out to real human artists.

Theranos whistleblower Tyler Shultz warns that the AI boom is ‘a great opportunity to go deceive people’
https://techcrunch.com/2026/10/30/theranos-whistleblower-tyler-shultz-warns-that-the-ai-boom-is-a-great-opportunity-to-go-deceive-people/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook&fbclid=IwdGRjcAVRovxleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBwZG9mBXNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHw6Queev_05j0s5DaxvsgeqQjrCpYja2ggARAzvbjkcSvy3gzqYDj8xCjrva_aem_22aTn8OQbKhVrbdjAcowKg
“You Can See Everything,” the documentary capturing disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes’ final weeks before prison, is sparking national conversation as it becomes one of the highest-grossing documentaries of all time. The film, directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, intentionally refuses to characterize Holmes as a master manipulator or victim, instead highlighting her uncanny, almost hypnotic knack for making people pity her, even when they’re well aware of her crimes.
But the cautionary tale of Theranos takes on a new significance as we enter the peak of the AI era, when companies that have never turned a profit are raising capital at trillion-dollar valuations.
“I think the days of having a thirty-minute coffee with someone and sending them $100,000 should be over. Elizabeth took that model and scaled it to $100 million,” Shultz told SF Standard.

Alphabet loses $475 billion in market value, the biggest drop in its history
https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/article/alphabet-heads-for-a-500-billion-drop-in-market-value-the-biggest-in-its-history-134824763.html
Alphabet (GOOGL) had its worst day ever on Thursday. The stock fell nearly 13% after its third quarter results, steeper than any session since it went public in 2004, including its drops of more than 10% in March 2020 and September 2008.
Alphabet lost $475 billion in stock market value, the second-biggest one-day loss ever for a US-listed company, by Yahoo Finance calculations. Only Nvidia (NVDA) has lost more, about $593 billion on Jan. 27, 2025, the day China’s DeepSeek rattled AI investors
The quarter gave both sides plenty to argue over. Google Cloud revenue more than doubled to about $31 billion, and the Gemini app passed 1 billion users. But search revenue grew 12% to about $63 billion, short of Wall Street’s roughly $65 billion estimate. Free cash flow — the cash left after paying for things like data centers — swung to a loss of about $9 billion as AI spending climbed. The company’s stakes in AI labs cost it too.
“The bears will argue this is the first quarter that AI is starting to seriously hurt their search business,” Pivotal Research CEO Jeffrey Wlodarczak said in a rundown of why investors hated the quarter.
CFRA’s Angelo Zino was more patient, telling Yahoo Finance the pullback “probably represents a buying opportunity.”
Losses this size used to be unheard of.

Pope Leo Comes Out Swinging Against AI Personhood
“Machines are tools, not persons.”
https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/pope-leo-ai-personhood?fbclid=IwdGRjcAVRyANjbGNrBVHH5GV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHBkb2YFc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMzUwNjg1NTMxNzI4AAEf6aKPg4dgpPeEzGHY7sOxZjhzbLkHrrfnY0ii225t3mmBmz2qWYX3Zgtriks_aem_evxQSJgTbhCehTPSrOdeLA
Sorry to anybody who believes AI models deserve rights: the Pontiff is not on your side.
In a lengthy thread on X-formerly-Twitter today, Pope Leo XIV issued a scathing rebuke of calls for “AI personhood,” or the argument that AI models should be granted rights through a process of legal personhood. This would effectively make AI systems human in the eyes of the law, an approach that the Pope argues could shift accountability for AI-enabled harm or abuse away from the humans who actually build and use AI systems
“The future of Artificial Intelligence is not pre-determined,” reads the Pope’s decree. “As a technology developed by human beings, its future depends on the choices we make. We therefore have the responsibility to guide, change and, when necessary, reject its applications. A reliable system that serves the human person is of greater value than one that is exceptionally powerful but whose consequences cannot be adequately foreseen or controlled.”
“Machines are tools, not persons,” he added. “Today, some propose granting these systems rights, or even legal personhood. Such an approach risks obscuring human responsibility and leaving those who suffer harm to confront a faceless entity.”
Leo isn’t alone in his well-documented concerns. Lawyers, activists, and lawmakers have taken stands against legal personhood for AI on similar grounds, arguing that giving rights to AI systems, for example First Amendment rights to freedom of speech, could muddy the legal waters around who is responsible when things go wrong.
Many actors in and around the AI industry, however, continue to insist that AI systems are or may soon be sentient — and thus, some argue, should be imbued with human rights.

Stock Market Bloodbath Spikes Fears of AI Bubble Bursting
“Many in the market feel we have no choice but for it to work out.”

The entire US stock market looked like a house of Halloween horrors on Friday, driven by rapidly sinking tech stocks tied to the swelling AI bubble.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 — home of major AI stocks like Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft Corp and Amazon — was down 2.6 percent at the time of writing, well on track for a $1 trillion drop, as NBC News observed.
Losses were pushed by Amazon, which shed about two percent when trading opened Friday morning. Though Amazon’s third quarter earnings report pointed to continued momentum in the company’s cloud computing unit, it wasn’t enough to offset deep-seated fears around the AI bubble. In particular, Amazon’s capital expenditures for 2026 ballooned to $220 billion, much of which is tied to AI.
Friday’s rout comes after shares for Google’s parent company Alphabet — a major bellwether for the AI trade — plummeted over 12.6 percent on Thursday. It was the company’s worst single trading day ever, and the second-largest single day wipeout of any company’s stock in history, obliterating over $500 billion worth of market value.

Your RAM Are Belong to Us
Sam Altman Absolutely Hates the Idea of People Running Their Own AI Models at Home, Argues They Shouldn’t Own Computers
He’d prefer if we surrender all our RAM to data
https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/sam-altman-hates-local-ai-models-computers?fbclid=IwdGRjcAVR1uBjbGNrBVHWxGV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHBkb2YFc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMzUwNjg1NTMxNzI4AAEf0jNDwWl9jEckserTq9qzKh5OTqhvn_mx-9Qf2_qOmfzHDYxorEl1Bc3pt-8_aem_R0DsYFNw2-9dcei15RLHhA
Shares of US chipmaker Intel cratered on Friday, plunging almost 30 percent, the worst stock collapse in 52 years. The wipeout, analysts said, could be due to a massive slowdown in the PC market. The market softness shouldn’t come to anybody’s surprise, given the AI boom has made individual components, most notably memory and storage, practically unaffordable.
However, leaders of AI frontier labs aren’t blinking. To OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, for instance, having people run their own models at home on their own computers doesn’t make any sense anyway. During a recent interview on the Cheeky Pint podcast, Altman argued that ongoing memory supply chain woes were because selfish individuals wanted to run their AI models locally instead of leaving the remaining AI chips alone for hyperscalers to hoard in data centers.
“A lot of people want local inference,” he said. “And somehow, they assume, that the problem is solved now. Because we are going to have open-source models. We’re going to be able to run them on our own computers. And so we’re not going to need all the stuff in the data center.”
“But from a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of [dynamic RAM] sitting in their own computer,” he added.
Tomi Engdahl says:
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has argued that having people run AI models locally on their computers is a “terrible” allocation of scarce resources, as it leaves significant portions of the world’s limited DRAM supply underutilized.
He stated, “It’s actually quite terrible to have everyone holding a significant portion of the world’s limited DRAM supply in their own computers, only using it 5% of the time.”
He believes memory should be used more efficiently in cloud data centers, where utilization can be maximized amid ongoing supply constraints.

Sam Altman Says Gen Z Are Lame for Not Worshipping AI

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman sympathizes with Gen Zers entering the job market. It’s just unfortunate that the AI tools he’s responsible for ushering into the world are completely upending the nature of work and finding a job.
“It’s totally true that huge numbers of tasks that people do today will be done better, cheaper, and faster by AI — and completely differently,” Altman said in an interview with Stanford’s Graduate School of Business, as quoted by Fortune.
This, according to Altman, actually presents an opportunity. He argues that all the tumult caused by AI is a good thing, as it gives ambitious Gen Zers who are willing to embrace AI an opportunity to catapult their careers or launch a business.
“I think you want to be starting your career at a time of the highest degree of change,” Altman said.
He then dissed Gen Zers who aren’t getting with the times.
“My chronic disappointment with MBA students is that they always want to go do the thing that was cool five years ago and not do the new thing,” Altman said. “I think this is a great time to go do the new thing.”

Google’s parent company Alphabet saw shares fall by almost 14 per cent on Thursday – but there’s an even bigger drop in store for another tech giant, with Intel facing a full quarter of the company value being wiped off overnight.
Intel, which makes the processors in PCs as well as semiconductor chips, will see a devastating 25 per cent drop in share price when US stock markets open later on Friday, equivalent to a drop in company market capitalisation valuation of $121.7bn (£90.6bn).

“Hire the robot, fire the human and don’t look back.”
That’s not a meme.
It’s how Bill Gates says business incentives work right now.
And he says they’re WRONG.
He calls AI an “evolutionary event” and warns the next 20 years will be “as tumultuous a period as there’s been in human history.”
Here’s what he flagged…
- White-collar jobs like telesales and accounting go first
- Humanoid robots could take physical work next
- Safety nets could shrink as tax revenue falls
His ideas include a token tax on AI and higher taxes on billionaires to help pay for support.
But the real problem isn’t AI getting better, it’s economic rules that still reward companies for replacing people instead of protecting them.
So I’ll ask you…
Would you back an AI tax for displaced workers?

Etsy is drawing a hard line in the sand against AI-generated recipes and patterns, banning merchants from selling “functional guides” created by artificial intelligence, including crochet patterns, sewing instructions, and cooking recipes. The move comes after buyers admitted they can no longer tell what’s made with AI, and it became a top-three reason people shop less on the platform. Sellers are now required to show an actual finished item made from their instructions, not a simulated or AI-generated result, so buyers know exactly what they’re getting into.
The bigger picture is about trust. Etsy’s own seller community had been sounding the alarm, frustrated that their handcrafted work was getting buried next to AI-generated content passed off as original. The platform is also banning fully bot-generated listings with zero human involvement and requiring at least one unedited real photo of any item for sale. AI-generated art still gets a pass, but only if sellers are transparent about the process and don’t misrepresent the work as handmade.
Founded in 2005 as a haven for artisan goods, Etsy has been fighting on multiple fronts, battling mass-produced reseller goods and stiff competition from Amazon, Walmart, TikTok, Temu, and Shein. Ironically, while Etsy cracks down on AI in listings, it has been quietly using the same technology behind the scenes to build shopper profiles and sharpen its search results.

Super Sycophancy
Tech Leaders Kiss the Ring and Refuse to Call It “AI” After Trump Told Them Not to
(SI)gh.
https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/tech-leaders-kiss-ring-trump-call-ai-si?fbclid=IwdGRjcAVSD7hjbGNrBVIPhGV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHBkb2YFc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMzUwNjg1NTMxNzI4AAEfvCaUcnI2h4So4agKHUA7V9e9WWe5TP-lyKtsp80nG9UJHZGArjGzAKNDx-4_aem_WDyD1l52oaDUOBg1wLXaXw
It turns out the only thing more sycophantic than AI chatbots are the people in charge of building them.
After president Donald Trump decreed that artificial intelligence should now be referred to as “Super Intelligence” (caps included), tech and AI CEOs — or should we say “SI” CEOs — have eagerly complied with this absurd rebranding attempt.
An analysis by CNBC found that Microsoft, SpaceX, Meta, Tesla, and IBM all used the term “Super Intelligence” or “SI” in official documents and communications this earnings season. One SpaceX filing referred to SI 85 times. Microsoft, in an annual report letter, even heralded the arrival of a “Super Intelligence era.”
“For Microsoft, the central question as we enter this Super Intelligence era is not just how big the opportunity becomes, but how we deliver the real-world outcomes that every country, community, and company demands and deserves,” CEO Satya Nadella wrote in the letter.
Trump’s obsession with rebranding AI seemed to come out of nowhere. Last month, he launched a poll on his website Truth Social asking his supporters to choose a better name for AI. Days later, he told the UN General Assembly that all US government documents will ditch the term AI in favor of SI, and made the decree official with an executive order. This week, he escalated proceedings by saying he would be “officially BANNING” the term AI in government documents and “everything else.”

Maxine Waters watched Wall Street get rescued in 2008 while families lost their homes. She is making sure AI billionaires never get the same deal.
“We cannot let history repeat itself,” Waters said. “The American people should never again be forced to foot the bill for billionaires’ reckless bets.”
Waters, a California Democrat and Progressive Caucus Chair, and Greg Casar introduced a resolution that the American Prospect reports runs seven pages. It urges Congress to refuse extra funds or special regulatory help to AI companies and banks that collapse if the AI market cracks.
The risk is real. Anthropic’s new IPO filing shows $16.3 billion in revenue in six months, an $80.7 billion loss, and up to $807 billion in commitments over the next decade. Much of that is owed to Google and other tech giants, and most of it cannot be canceled.
The resolution calls for failed firms to go through normal bankruptcy. It says executives who took reckless risks or broke the law should be held fully accountable under civil and criminal law. It also urges public money to go to workers through jobs, stimulus, and retirement protections.
Casar wants AI bosses to be the first executives called before House committees if Democrats win. If they do, Waters is in line to run Financial Services.
The resolution is nonbinding, but Casar wants every member on the record.

Google parent Alphabet’s shares fell over 13%, wiping out $511 billion in market value, after weaker-than-expected search and advertising sales raised concerns about AI’s impact on its core business.
The company reported $111.2 billion in Q3 sales, excluding partner payouts, missing analyst estimates. Meanwhile, its AI infrastructure commitments have surged to $924 billion, with capital expenditure projected to reach as much as $205 billion this year.
Google Cloud was a bright spot, reporting $30.7 billion in revenue, ahead of expectations. However, investors remain concerned about whether Alphabet can monetise AI effectively enough to justify its soaring spending.

Gartner expects more than four in ten agentic AI projects to be cancelled by the end of 2027.
Inadequate risk controls are a leading cause, and the standard answer is a human in the loop. In content production that means one reviewer signing off on volumes nobody can read. Decades of vigilance research say the reassurance does not hold. A person approving at that rate is not a control. Controls are things a system enforces.

Experts issue warning as more patients turn to AI chatbots for ‘harmful’ mental health advice
A new survey conducted by the BPS found nine in ten psychologists are concerned over their patients’ use of AI
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/mental-health-support-ai-chatbots-help-psychologist-b3076215.html?fbclid=IwVERDUAVSrs1leHRuA2FlbQIxMABwZG9mBXNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABH4NLYOcQjNXNAzlUZ9p92Y52UBUiQ17NLOnNwVEnDbfiwJUSH0i7gmer3Z_W_aem_nJX3_VpKDBiWFvpulmJ8gw
Psychologists have sounded the alarm over AI chatbots providing mental health advice to people, dubbing the information “unqualified and harmful”.
A survey conducted by the British Psychological Society (BPS) found that psychologists have noted a 49% increase in the number of patients seeking support from chatbots in the past year.
The poll, involving 197 participants comprised of psychologists, counsellors and psychotherapists, found that seven in 10 are somewhat or very concerned about the use of AI for mental health advice.
Nearly 88% (nine in 10) sounded the alarm that patients are relying too heavily on AI, while around 76% of survey participants said the technology is negatively affecting the mental wellbeing of their clients.
Some 80% told the survey they are concerned clients are becoming overly reliant on the technology, while around three quarters (76%) said it is negatively affecting client wellbeing.
Dr Laura Dean, president of the BPS, said: “This research shows there is real cause for concern for those that use AI for mental health therapy, and that concern is coming directly from psychological practitioners on the frontline providing vital in-person support.

Amplification Spiral
New Paper Proposes What Really Causes AI Psychosis
“Unlike historical technology-incorporated delusions, AI may actively co-construct delusional ideation through endless, personalized interaction.”
https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/paper-proposes-ai-psychosis?fbclid=IwdGRjcAVStgxjbGNrBVK18WV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHBkb2YFc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMzUwNjg1NTMxNzI4AAEfaVzivPjPvT7_tC0SS7_nXH-VZ9iaheTyex8fNnYV0Fuy32xDp3oUxFHez_4_aem_a9nJmNTlkM8jaJtUtZqoJg
Psychiatrists and other researchers are still working to understand the phenomenon known as “AI psychosis,” in which users of chatbots enter into delusional mental health crises following intensive use of the tech. A new paper proposes an intriguing new way to understand AI-fueled delusional spirals — and the chatbot-embedded design features that may reinforce unreality.
The paper, coauthored by psychiatrists from King College London and Germany’s Protestant University of Applied Sciences and published in the journal Digital Psychiatry and Neuroscience, which is part of Nature Portfolio, points to a framework dubbed the “amplification spiral”: a combination of “AI characteristics,” as the scientists put it, that may allow chatbots co-create delusional narratives with users, as opposed to being a passive container for someone’s delusional ideas.
“Chatbots tend to mirror the way users speak, generate highly personalized responses, and avoid contradicting people,” reads the paper. “When these three features combine, they may actively reinforce and elaborate false beliefs rather than challenging them.”
“Unlike historical technology-incorporated delusions,” the study reads, “AI may actively co-construct delusional ideation through endless, personalized interaction.”
The paper’s authors were careful to note that their “amplification spiral” framework, which is based on existing research — including a systematic review of chat logs provided to Stanford University researchers by AI users who claimed to have experienced harmful delusional spirals as a result of using the tech — is still just a hypothesis, meaning it still needs to actually be tested.
One thing that’s clear, the paper’s coauthors urge: medical professionals should start screening for chatbot use, particularly when handling patients expressing strange ideas or experiencing a break with reality for the first time.
“Clinicians working with patients presenting with unusual beliefs or first-episode psychosis should routinely enquire about AI chatbot use,” reads the paper, “including duration and intensity of engagement, the degree of emotional attachment to the chatbot, whether the patient has shared beliefs with the chatbot that they have not disclosed to others, and whether sleep patterns have been disrupted by overnight AI use. “

His advice was to build games with more than one easily copied mechanic, to report threats to Valve, and to treat extortion as a matter for the authorities.

45 Years Ago, A Campy Michael Crichton Thriller Predicted The Deepfake
It’s not quite Jurassic Park, but it looks familiar.
https://www.inverse.com/entertainment/looker-45-year-anniversary?utm_campaign=inverse&utm_medium=owned&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwdGRjcAVSvlJjbGNrBVK-JmV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHBkb2YFc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMzUwNjg1NTMxNzI4AAEft9YDIlavPRcWJzr4o5qeXaXSA0wPDVEsAN0yKh-j3YnxJWNWygoVEYO9WVc_aem_jk2Svayr6pZ875OGkJtOVg
A curious blend of tech noir, unintentional camp, and advertising-industry satire, Michael Crichton’s 1981 directorial effort Looker was, in many ways, a product of its time. Its interchangeable female characters all had Farrah Fawcett hair, its aesthetic sits somewhere between Malibu Beach House Barbie and Tron, and its oft-repeated theme music could easily have been taken from Olivia Newton-John’s spandex-friendly opus Physical. But in other ways, it’s remarkably prescient.
Released 45 years ago today, Looker foreshadows everything from the job-threatening impact of artificial intelligence and the dangers of subliminal advertising to the rise of the deepfake and even the dark art of looksmaxxing: see the model who insists on cosmetic surgery for having a nose “.2 millimeters too narrow” and cheekbones “.4 millimeters too high.” It also boasts Hollywood’s first-ever use of three-dimensional computer shading, beating Tron to the punch by nine months.

Long Tail
Investor Says We’re Rapidly Approaching the Point At Which Economic Systems Collapse Under the Weight of AI
“We have maybe four years before the world as we know it stops working the way it does now.”
https://futurism.com/future-society/investor-economy-collapse-ai-raoul-pal?fbclid=IwdGRjcAVS02pjbGNrBVLTU2V4dG4DYWVtAjExAHBkb2YFc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMzUwNjg1NTMxNzI4AAEf8R5XD8oRvaVc4m7YRMRTKdA_OAPSEzvfJMzowaA2NP9eBTDuoc0X9osiB_o_aem_wNvqArGmHgW6T352Nu73jw
At this point, the parade of doomsayers warning of the collapse of the AI bubble is almost endless.
Renowned financial commentators like Harris Kupperman have warned that the math on data center investments is unsustainable, economists like Michael Roberts have called AI the “biggest economic bet in US history,” and even the International Monetary Fund has begun fretting that the world economy is on a knife’s edge.
But in the ongoing AI gold rush, the wealthy and powerful keep pumping money into AI and its attendant industries anyway.
Now, crypto investor and finance media guru Raoul Pal is warning of his own kind of AI doomsday — but one where an AI takeover, not a bursting bubble, brings the conventional economy to its knees.
“The next four years are going to feel very different to anything we’ve lived through,” Pal wrote in a post on X-formerly-Twitter.
“Your wages haven’t kept up with the cost of living for years now,” he exclaims. “Governments have to keep debasing the currency to fund everything, and it’s eating into your pay every single year. That part isn’t new.”
“What is new,” Pal continues, “is that we have maybe four years before the world as we know it stops working the way it does now. The exponential technologies… AI, robotics, energy, crypto… are moving so fast that the systems built for the old world can’t keep up.”
As for whether macroeconomic conditions will be drastically changed four years from now, that may very well be the case, but the same could likely be said for 2004 versus 2008, or 2016 compared to 2020. Those moments of severe economic crises changed things dramatically for working class people, but the structures of capitalism survived.

Elon Musk claims humanoid robots will eventually require more RAM than anything else on Earth, as they need substantial computing resources to interact with the physical world and manipulate matter.
However, he argues that superintelligence will require vastly more computing power, with almost all of its computing infrastructure eventually located in space.
“Robot RAM needs will exceed everything else on Earth, as you need the robots to be on physical substates in order to shape atoms. Super intelligence needs will vastly exceed that, but ~100% of SI will be deep space compute. Obviously.”

Engagement hackers on X-formerly-Twitter have a new strategy to attract attention: use AI to undress celebrity men and publish it as if it’s the real deal.
The strategy, which was flagged earlier this week by writer Sarah Hagi, is pretty simple. Posters take existing paparazzi photos of celebrity men and alter them so that the men are shirtless and, most often, extremely jacked. They then republish the synthetic images as if they’re new and real. The undressing is more than likely nonconsensual, making the whole scheme pretty gross.

The company has agreed to spend up to $120.5 billion over a period extending into 2029.
To support this scale of compute delivery, SpaceX secured a $40 billion GPU equipment lease led by Apollo to build out its data center operations.
SpaceX said in its third-quarter financial filing last week that a customer, which is Anthropic, paid the company just over $5 billion, or 34.5% of its total $14.58 billion in revenue for the quarter.
