Yes, AI based systems as amplifiers of human creativity, judgement, rather than terminators of humanity..

Did no one watch the Matrix? People against machines, and when people blotted out the sun, depriving machines of energy, the machines decided to harvest the energy of human bodies.

Though the approach is great but if you follow the reviews, antigravity 2.0 is quite the disaster both in terms of quality and pricing. It’s really hard to digest the company which is on the frontlines of software engineering talent can’t make a half decent coding product. Even the Gemini 3.5 flash is sub par. Google’s search strength is unmatched which will serve most consumers or users who mostly prompt once, but it will lose users who are into chain of thought searches as they will find ChatGPT and Claude way superior. I’m really rooting for Google though as they have the talent and the control over the full supply chain of ai to provide quality at really competitive prices.

Dr. Fred J. MIT study did not say AI physically "modifies" or damages the brain. Joint study by MIT, UCLA, Oxford, and Carnegie Mellon found that using AI can cause a temporary decline in problem solving skills and motivation, known as "cognitive offloading." Study found that people who used an AI assistant for 10 to 15 minutes performed significantly worse and gave up more easily when AI was taken away, compared to those who never used it. It was Gary Kucher above -- not the MIT study -- who said "just 10 minutes of AI use [can lead] to impaired brain performance.⁠"

It didn't. No access to opus 4.7. awful throttle limits. Gemini flash is sub-par. Had big hopes for this product and Gemini.

What's the cover charge for this Brave New World?

Which shows that even you will be of no use... So companies like amazon or any other country for that matter will become obsolete...

And thus the Matrix begin

The only job that is truly yours is the one that only you can do is so well where you are with what is available. And in today's world, that job also must need to be done by a human. Otherwise, it's not your job.

This is very true and those of you who say it isn’t, I’ve been doing it for 31 years. How many years have you done it?This is very true and those of you who say it isn’t, I’ve been doing it for 31 years. How many years have you done it?

Productivity gains from AI are hitting a token-cost wall as costs to AI model users are rising due to decreasing AI model efficiency. As shown in the chart here, the latest AI model releases are less efficient than preceding versions. The operating cost increases from prior models range from +35-75% (i.e. Gemini 3.5 Flash +75% vs. Gemini 3.1 Pro, GPT 5.5 +70% vs. GPT 5.4, Opus 4.7 +35%). In reality, Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic have all raised effective prices in the last six months, degrading the unit economics of frontier AI as they charge more because each model burns more compute per task. Note that companies are pulling back from AI agent use as budgets have been materially exceeded. For example, Uber exhausted its full year 2026 AI budget in just four months. Earlier this week, Microsoft canceled its internal Claude Code licenses after token-based billing made the cost untenable, this move by a company with effectively infinite cloud resources. AI promised productivity gains, but users are balking at the higher costs. #AI #TokenCost #Productivity

@Pascal, the cardio-as-fuel framing is brilliant because it exposes how reductive the "AI replaces humans" narrative really is. The B2B version I see: boards greenlight massive AI investments, then realise they have no answer for what 40% of the workforce actually *does* next Tuesday. Adoption stalls not because the tech fails, but because the social contract inside the company fractures. The companies getting this right are designing for human contribution upfront, not retrofitting dignity as a change management afterthought.

While the prospect of collective action is rarely examined, the evidence of Ai developing the 'survivial instinct' and resisting termination/shut-down, suggests a much more serious problem. Independent moral awareness, and the assumption of 'right to existence'. And this is the Beta version. If machines learn to be human by example, we are in a world of trouble.

David, At this point we may consider survival of the species, 'soft'.

Unrealistic, yet still plausible. I enjoyed the plot, although parts of it felt a bit too far-fetched for where we are today. What resonated most, however, was the underlying theme of human existentialism — that part is no longer theoretical; it is already unfolding around us in real time. Moments like this make me wonder whether exploring a path in psychology might be worth considering.

It's garbage and slow.

Growing capabilities!!The real power of models is not just their efficiency, but also what and how they can help us discover. Thanks for sharing.

No - the reflections of a oppressed workers becomes evident in work and sleep and income patterns it doesn’t make the robot a Marxist . Seem the research.

This sounds like a math teacher in the 70's when calculators were first introduced into classrooms.

Insane. Gemini 3.5 Flash already outperforming 3.1 Pro while being faster and cheaper... we’re moving ridiculously fast.
