AI ON MY MIND

Happy Wednesday!

Today I got into a bit of a online confrontation because I tweeted this:

People got mad.

A bunch of comments said I was ruining the internet.

But the game’s changed.

If you’re not posting constantly, you’re invisible. And if you’re invisible, you’re not building.

I still review everything before it goes out. I still reply. I don’t just turn it on and disappear.

The point of social media is for conversations. It doesn’t matter how that conversation starts.

Someone even went and grabbed the last 100 of my tweets to try to prove a point, but I rebutted and said this:

But people don’t see the bigger picture. They assume that I’m just turning my X account into a bot account. That’s not the case.

Oh well.

TODAY’S TOP STORIES

OpenAI Acquires Jony Ive’s AI Hardware Startup

OpenAI makes headlines with its acquisition of Jony Ive’s AI hardware startup for $6.4 billion, a clear signal of its hardware ambitions.

Why it matters: OpenAI is pushing deeper into hardware, a strategic move to control more of the AI ecosystem in its bid to lead the AI race.

Driving the news:

- The acquisition of Jony Ive’s startup Io enhances OpenAI’s hardware capabilities.

- This follows their recent purchase of AI-assisted coding tool Windsurf.

Zoom in:

- OpenAI's expanding portfolio shows a desire to integrate and innovate its hardware offerings.

- Sources say, "The deal could redefine how OpenAI approaches device integration."

Yes, but: There's potential risk in overextending resources into hardware, which is traditionally not OpenAI's core strength.

Be Smart: OpenAI's move might set a precedent for tech firms aiming to merge advanced AI with cutting-edge hardware.

The bottom line: It’s a bold strategy that could pay off if OpenAI manages to leverage Ive’s design expertise.

Mistral Unveils Devstral

Why it matters: Mistral’s new AI model for coding, Devstral, has outperformed Google's Gemma 3 27B, highlighting a potential shift in developer productivity tools.

What we found: Devstral's design prioritizes efficient use on existing hardware, making it accessible and practical.

How it works:

- It’s built to enhance productivity without requiring specialized equipment.

- Developers can expect seamless integration into current workflows.

Yes, but: The model's efficiency is contingent on how well it integrates with other third-party apps.

The bottom line: Mistral offers a potentially game-changing tool for developers aiming for efficiency and simplicity.
