  • Pope's AI manifesto reframes the conversation 13 hours ago by The Deep View

    Welcome back. Google’s new AI glasses show how the next wave of AI hardware may succeed by being subtle, lightweight, and tightly connected to the smartphone already in your pocket. Meanwhile, OpenAI revealed details to The Deep View about how ChatGPT’s personality is designed, tuned, and personalized, indicating how human preferences are becoming a critical aspect of AI product design.

  • Report: Workers are lying about their AI skills 2 days ago by The Deep View

    Welcome back. On The Deep View Conversations, I talked with Lambda’s Robert Brooks IV about how the AI race over compute and infrastructure is shaping up.

  • Google remakes Search with AI once again 6 days ago by The Deep View

    Welcome back. Microsoft’s decision to open-source its agent security tools is a signal that the industry recognizes agents are moving faster than safeguards. Figma is taking a smarter path by putting agents inside designers’ existing workflows, rather than treating AI as another chat box. And Google’s latest Search overhaul shows how quickly AI is being pushed into products that billions already trust.

All in all, AI is clearly becoming much more embedded. — Jason Hiner IN
