Jaron Lanier: There Is No AI (2023)

Jaron Lanier argues that the term 'artificial intelligence' is misleading; large language models are statistical mashups of human creations, not independent minds. He advocates viewing AI as a tool, not a creature, and promotes data dignity and transparency to manage technological risks.

The three ways AI unlocks transformation in Retail, Travel, and Consumer Goods

The article argues that AI, deployed as a system rather than a collection of pilots, is the first technology to simultaneously address the three taxes of trust, time, and cost that prevent enterprises from acting on their data. It outlines three movements: turning dark data into signal, expanding the question space with probabilistic reasoning, and decoupling human capability from headcount. Governance is highlighted as the true competitive moat.

American AI is locked down and proprietary. It's losing

The article analyzes how American AI companies' closed and proprietary model is losing ground to China's open strategy. AI models have little moat, and China's open release turns compute disadvantage into distribution advantage, closing the performance gap.

Show HN: Building a product for humans and AI agents

The article details the journey of building Competitor Tracker, a tool designed for both humans and AI agents to track competitors. It discusses how AI shifts the bottleneck from development to go-to-market, making building easier but selling harder. The author shares the backstory of failed attempts, the eventual collaboration with a team, and the decision to build a product that is API-first, with MCP and webhook support, catering to both humans and agents. The product sends weekly digests and offers a noir-themed interface with a dog mascot.

Import AI 465: Open vs closed gaps; Kimi K3; Demis' big policy plan

UK's AISI finds the gap between open and closed models on cybersecurity is shrinking. Chinese company Moonshot AI releases Kimi K3, a frontier-level model with some brittleness. Demis Hassabis proposes a FINRA-like standards body for AGI. Research shows LLMs can smuggle side channel tasks, evading monitors.

AI Is the Best CoFounder

The author argues that AI can serve as a virtual co-founder, filling skill gaps and enabling solo founders to build products cheaply and quickly. They advise starting alone, using AI across all aspects of the work, talking to customers, and only adding a human co-founder when a real bottleneck emerges. This is not against people, but against prematurely adding a permanent partner before the product is validated.

RTK hook makes coding agents more expensive, not cheaper

JetBrains benchmarked the 'Rust Token Killer' (rtk) and found its claimed 60-90% token savings do not materialize; instead, it causes a median cost increase of 7.6% at low reasoning effort and zero effect at high effort. The test reveals a gap between self-reported savings and actual billing.
