AI boom likened to fracking as $200B pours into startups
The Financial Times likens today’s AI surge to the fracking boom, noting that AI startups secured over $200 billion in 2023 funding and that compute demand now rivals the energy intensity of oil extraction. The piece warns that, similar to fracking, speculative capital inflows could fuel a bubble.

Microsoft has released a new preview of Notepad for Windows 11 that adds native table support and enhanced AI functions such as Write, Rewrite and Summarize with streaming results. The table feature appears in the formatting toolbar and offers a grid‑based size selector, while AI output now streams live as it generates. Streaming is limited to Copilot+ devices and requires a Microsoft account. The rollout targets Canary and Dev channel testers, sparking debate over whether Notepad is drifting away from its minimalist roots.
Your first question to an AI model takes a moment… But the next ones appear almost instantly, there’s a simple reason behind it. The model keeps a small snapshot of the work it already did. This is called the "KV Cache". When an AI...

Here's the rub. Let's say all the states ban AI toltally except for one. That state would end up out producing all the others 10x-1 within a decade. And possibly 1,000x-to 1. And I bet that the math even supports a...

@PAstynome When World Models really show up in spatial computing devices (in about two years) it will get far worse. And when brain computer interfaces show up it will get far worse again. So, we need to figure out addiction issues now.
@zephyr_z9 TPUs are much more stable on 8 bit training (aqt etc) than NVIDIA chips at massive scale Previous gen was a bit sensitive on topology but looks like less of an issue for ironwood

@w3whq @kenwarner GANs were 2015ish, Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models were 2020ish, aka 5 years later. Timeline expectations are crazy these days!
@JohnThilen @dwarkesh_sp @ilyasut In addition, and that’s the important point, I think GPT-5 is smaller than GPT-4.5.
@JohnThilen @dwarkesh_sp @ilyasut I am speculating that all GPT-5.1 models (instant, thinking, Pro) are the same model but with different inference scaling budgets. Same for GPT-5 Codex. And Gemini 3 Pro and Gemini 3 Deep Think are probably also the same...
@GiorgioMantova @dwarkesh_sp @ilyasut I’d say this is the jump from last gen to current gen, but I think the argument is that further improvements will fizzle out in the next gen if we keep scaling pre-training. Ie it won’t give...
