đź’ˇThe Apple Hint Everyone Missed
Apple is training us for a post-iPhone world

Great perspective from @sineadbovell.bsky.social: #AI isn’t about replacing jobs, it’s a wake-up call for the unmotivated. Those who embrace adaptability and continuous learning will thrive. Time to level up and stay ahead. #FutureOfWork #AIAdaptation
Sinead Bovell@sineadbovell.bsky.social · last yr.Those who treat AI as a magic wand waved over passive ambition will easily be outcompeted, even by AIs themselves. The gap between the motivated and the unmotivated widens. The average and the overachievers. This will be true across all sectors of knowledge work. open.substack.com/pub/sineadbo...

Canadian OpenAI researcher Kai Chen was denied a US green card today. She has lived and worked in the US for 12 years. I hope people are grasping the severity of what is unfolding.
Me two weeks ago.. Beijing sent warning shots that they would restrict critical minerals… the signals were clear. Now it’s a scramble in the US
Sinead Bovell@sineadbovell.bsky.social · last yr.I think one of the most important moves in the escalating trade war is China placing 7 rare earth metals on the export control list. This is a huge signal coming from Beijing—it’s telling the U.S.: watch out. Rare earths are essential to everything commercial to national security.
How we handle AI today shapes future societies, global power, and humanity’s future. Yet, we're doing it amidst rising geopolitical tension, new economic blocs, and military standoffs. open.substack.com/pub/sineadbo...

Who will be the *influencers* of the future? In an AI-mediated world, the signal from a trusted human becomes more valuable as it passes through more rigorous filters. Value shifts from sheer volume and follower count to resonance, trust, credibility and community. open.substack.com/pub/sineadbo...
Foreign influence operations targeting Canadian voters are working on overdrive for this upcoming election. Disinformation is everywhere. youtu.be/xqkwH0kxss4?...
Some of the most important skills for the future are the non-technical skills. Reading, critical thinking, curiosity, play, imagination, teamwork. We must prepare kids to adapt and think critically (and imaginatively) about the world around them. Regardless of the directions technology takes.
Today at SXSW, I attended an AI & energy event featuring private sector investors and Texas-based academics. The unanimous takeaway? Policy chaos is freezing energy investment—jeopardizing U.S. AI dominance.
Powerful remarks by @profgalloway.com on Canada’s unwavering allyship to America. During the Iranian hostage crisis, Canadian diplomats risked their lives to shelter Americans. “Canada hid us.” 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I will joining 🇨🇦CFRB 1010 today at 3:20pm EST to discuss Canada’s sovereignty in the Arctic, the increasing military pacing threat along the northern border, and the impact of tariffs on our national security.
The threat Canada is facing is much bigger than tariffs. It’s a direct threat to our national security by virtue of crippling our ability to defend ourselves against (active) foreign aggression. Including the military pacing threat in Canada’s Arctic.
One of the most consequential technologies to global security is now being scaled during a time of hyper geopolitical uncertainty. Fractures between allies, breakdowns in decades-old transatlantic security packs, shifts towards a multi-polar world.
We’re on the brink of a pretty radical transformation in our economies—billions of AI agents will soon be transacting, negotiating, and making decisions across industries. Should some require a license? open.substack.com/pub/sineadbo...
Should AI Agents Require a License?
We’re entering a world of a billion AI agents transacting, negotiating, and making decisions.

Re: tariffs that are going live to air on Canada tomorrow Which country is the largest buyer of US exports? 🇨🇦 Canada. Purchasing roughly $356.5 billion worth of American goods annually. Why does the 🇺🇸 have a trade deficit with 🇨🇦 ? Canada is the largest foreign supplier of crude oil to the U.S.
You should read DeepSeek terms and conditions before you download the app: -DeepSeek retains user data even after account is deleted -The app has the right to monitor and process user inputs and outputs, including the collection of sensitive or strategic information.1/
I don’t believe DeepSeek is a Sputnik moment. It’s an architectural breakthrough and will (should) serve as a valuable and innovative method US AI companies cannot ignore. But the real Sputnik moment will be if a Chinese AI company builds a model that can do things US AI models are not capable of
Last week, we saw China’s open-source model DeepSeek deliver some stunning performance, showing just how far open systems are coming. And today, OpenAI announced that the free tier of ChatGPT will now get access to their most advanced model, O3-Mini
Imagine threatening tariffs on your biggest ally and the country you expect to get free fresh water from in the future
I’m not sure I understand the migration from TikTok to RedNote, especially given the reasons behind TikTok’s ban
Fertility rates continue to plummet. Historically the drop was driven by couples having fewer children. Now the driving force in fertility decline is *fewer couples.* t.co/J7Vsjt3hLH
We have already reached peak social media. Market is fragmenting, growth rates slowing, and a new technology has entered the market. A hostile environment will simply accelerate the decline of individual platforms. Re: meta’s content moderation decision
Amidst unprecedented global leadership shifts, vacuums, and uncertainty, one of the most transformative general-purpose technologies is coming online. For historians, philosophers & deep thinkers, this is a defining moment for your leadership.
What percentage of students are you willing to falsely accuse of cheating with AI? There is a trade-off between false accusations and detection rates for AI. At a 10% false positive rate, detectors find 80% or less of AI content. At a 1% rate most find 60% or less. Don’t trust AI detectors!
