Working with AI requires perpetually operating at the edge of sanity. You have to recalibrate your mental model of AI capabilities and your own job description every few months, without getting delusional about seemingly infinite productivity gains, or feeling threatened by losing what you thought was the uniquely human part of your job, or obsessing over the perfect setup, or losing your mind over the clumsiness and jaggedness of agents, or ... Maybe AI literacy needs to be less about prompting and more about improving emotional regulation.

Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY.

Windows/Pavan Davuluri is putting the crisis from the Macbook Neo to full use. The PC market is getting gutted due to unrelated factors (component prices) but MSFT will lose the PC market if they don't react strongly to the Neo

Every religion in history has promised miracles and warned of the apocalypse. Anthropic is the first to file both with the SEC.

It's so weird though. To have been tonked by a team ranked even lower than grimsby town and not feel anything. Truly winning the premier league is a magic elixir whose taste i had completely forgotten.
