Satya Nadella says the tech industry needs to move past “slop vs sophistication” arguments and view AI as a “cognitive amplifier”, not a human substitute

As I reflect on the past year and look toward the one ahead, there's no question 2026 will be a pivotal year for AI.

This is such an interesting idea. The first step of building or using LLMs has always been making text cosplay as pixel-problems (gotta fit words into a component that evolved to render videogames). Why not skip the encoding and just put the text in an image? 🫠

The summary judgement that training off purchased books is fair use still carries weight, but now the pirated case is off Anthropic's books... Over to you, Meta.

@mgsiegler If you ask Perplexity (or Google, for that matter), the AI summary usually lists Chrome's user base as 3.45B people. I checked right after the bid PR launched, wondering how they came up with $34.5B - then realized they'd done the same search I did and just 10x'ed it

Perplexity's unsolicited $34.5B bid for Chrome with claimed VC backing is clearly a marketing stunt and maybe a signal to the judge in Google's antitrust case

I get the strategic need to build AI browsers, but I also watch users close chat interfaces on websites, instinctually, right after the cookie alert.

OpenAI is close to releasing an AI-powered web browser that will challenge Alphabet's (GOOGL.O) market-dominating Google Chrome …

I think it's worth contextualizing the concept of “AI Browsers” against the behaviors people might want to automate. Looking at top websites by visits and time spent, we can quickly see these browsers are mostly search and shopping plays. Not a small slice! [image]

What can we take-away from Dec's LLM blitz and o3's arrival? 1. The best models will think longer 2. We're gonna need more reasoning training data 3. There will be an increased focus on inference in 25 4. Builders need to stay flexible; a cheaper or better model arrives tomorrow
