So much of the news now has fake AI generated images. It's often misleading and I hope this stupid trend reverses.

Kimi K3 is said to be a distilled version of Anthropic Fable. Why isn't Anthropic the one releasing distilled versions? Why aren't they using those for inference most of the time? Compression and routing prompts to the right model - that's the key.
Agents are omniglots. They can read and write in every language. They are going to use products and services in different ways than humans do -- especially search. I just invested in octen.ai

Artificial Agreement: When AI Agrees With Us Too Easily
Artificial intelligence can certainly get things wrong, but the deeper risk is that it agrees with us too easily.

There is about to be a renaissance in software, with apps being built by artists instead of corporate dev teams.
Someday when we understand and program cellular regeneration and genetics, people will be be able to have healthy bodies and live much better. That's a beautiful technical challenge.
This is why headlights and windshields should use opposite polarized lenses. The direct light from oncoming headlights would be less visible through your windshield, but the reflected scattered light would be bright. www.carscoops.com/2026/02/head...

Dear @developers.google.com, I love Antigravity but I hate having to comment on the implementation plans rather than edit them directly.

How will humans adapt to AI? If intelligence and labor become commodities, what will be the new human value system? What will humans learn when they will never be as smart as their phone? What will humans do in an age of abundance?
Humans seem to be so divided in how they use AI. For some, it is like a learning and productivity companion leading to huge economic gains. For others it replaces thinking and learning, causing a downward spiral of ignorance and dependence. Is this a new skill required for human thriving?
The difference between what is possible in a lab and what is deployed by industry seems to be widening. Industry is slow to adopt AI, careful and conservative, and the timelines generally end up being longer than what the smartest people expect.
What are the fundamental sources of value in a world of ASI and robots of all types? I think primary/proprietary data and network effects will still lead to defensible margins. What else?
Today China has huge advantages in manufacturing. Will it will dominate the embodied AI trend? Will it manufacture and iterate on robots with a sustainable advantage? Or will manufacturing evolve so only supply chains, power, and physical space will matter?
Why are so many "news" articles posted with AI generated images? Literally fake news.
