Low‑Power Vision Chips Promise Private Glasses by 2027
CES Report #2: @AsygnOnline claims it has the best computer vision chips for glasses. Uses very little power. I include this because these chips are going to run the vision workloads in glasses of the future. They will demonstrate how glasses can recognize everything in the world in a very privacy-protecting way (data doesn’t leave the chip), while using very little power. I have long heard Meta and Apple are doing similar chips for their devices. Really matters in products coming in 2027 or later.

Treat AI Kindly; Abuse Doesn't Improve Its Learning
AI is now learning. Like I showed you with @blevlabs’s cognitive architecture last year. It will remember when you are an asshole😜 Grok can already tell you when I was. But with continually learning systems they get smarter like a human learns. If you...
Elon Should Invest in xAI, Not Acquire—Optimus Justifies Purchase
Grok is going to be the AI that runs Tesla cars, xAI, Neuralink, and Optimus, among other things. It makes a lot of sense for Tesla to invest in xAI, but I'm not so sure it makes sense to put...

Trump’s AI Order Skips Science, Pre‑empts State Laws
A recent executive order from President Trump seeks to override state AI laws like the one proposed in Ohio, but it doesn’t address the core problem: We’re legislating answers before doing the science.
AI Can Pinpoint Car Position Using Sensors and Landmarks
Can this be fixed with AI? Depends on the road. If it's a long straight one in Arizona then yes. Others maybe. But probably. The IMU can tell you where on road you are, and start watching patterns of where car is...
ChatGPT's Massive Early Adopters Accelerate Its Improvement
ChatGPT is still nearly 20x more popular than Gemini. Only it is worse. Most of those are defacto early adopters. Early adopters give better data about the real world than late adopters. So ChatGPT, I predict, will be far better when the...

Decentralized AVs Essential; Regulators Must Demand Them
This was my fear. That @waymo's lack of decentralization, and its problems over the weekend, would increase calls for regulation. Which should increase calls for decentralization, and grid hardening (IE a lot more batteries to back everything up) if our...
Dancing Robot: Human Collaboration, Not Autonomous AI
What are people missing about the dancing robot video from @UnitreeRobotics? Each robot is taught by humans. They didn't come up with the dance all by themselves. Maybe they will someday, but even the Chinese tell me generalized robots run by...
