GPUs are a scarce resource and if you run multiple companies that are all using AI then you’ll have to play favorites.

Matt Levine had a newsletter on the topic of Musk’s investors now having to guess which company he’ll focus on. Looks like Tesla lost this round.

This is another tone deaf AI pitch from a tech CEO. A valuable feature for workers would be intelligent summaries of meetings you didn’t attend.

A deepfake me that can attend my Zoom calls and make decisions is at best hype and at worst insulting to other meeting attendees.

I’ll make him a deal. I’ll use this tech when Zoom’s CEO uses this tech to attend Zoom calls for earnings reports and his leadership meetings so he can spend more time with his family.

After Pixar’s layoffs, the other shoe has dropped and Disney is revamping they make movies. They will move away from unique personal stories from their directors lives like Luca and Turning Red.

Instead they will focus on sequels like this summer’s Inside Out 2.

Finding Nemo and The Incredibles are the candidates most likely to be future sequels. They are also going to monitor the performance of their Inside Out spinoff on Disney+ to decide if they’ll keep making shows.

Creativity is done now

On a related note, I’ve had Amazon itself notify me items were not delivered but then make it hard to then file for a refund or a re-delivery.
