"AI agents are being integrated into people's lives before anyone has built the infrastructure to truly hold them accountable. There's growing gap between what these systems can do and what people affected by them are able to understand." —Anya Svan at Stanford #tsrconf

I’m at Stanford today and tomorrow learning from researchers from all over the world about what they are learning about AI safety, ethics, and governance. #tsrconf

"Instead of asking only whether a model is aligned, we should also ask how controllable is it for the actor responsible for deploying it." —Renata Barreto, eBay safety team, at the Stanford Trust & Safety Research Conference (#trsconf)

So OpenAI DevDay 2026 happened today and we had questions (at the press conference with Tibo, Sam, and Alex). Check out tomorrow morning’s edition of The Deep View for our perspective.

I wrote a commentary on AI's pacing problem, and the factor that's holding back true progress. The dialogue has gotten trapped in the same doom loop that's scuppering so many of today's most pressing issues: polarization. Here's my full article: www.thedeepview.com/articles/wh...

"We're making use of maybe only 5% or 10% of what the possible value of the [AI] technology is." — Dario Amodei at Dreamforce 2026

"The SaaS-pocalypse was not about the end of software, but it may be about the end of software that makes humans do all the work." — Marc Benioff at Dreamforce 2026

"I think you see a real fear that some of these companies developing AI could get too much power and be able to sort of exert undue influence on the economy and push a worldview. And I think the world is right to be afraid of this." —Sam Altman at #Dreamforce #DF26

"In the last six months, there's no question AI went from the labs into what I would consider extremely useful AI." — Jensen Huang at Dreamforce 2026

Humbled that Apple chose to promote our episode on the iPhone Duo and the Apple Event in Apple Podcasts

Here it is: Sabrina Ortiz and I broke down what makes the iPhone Duo different, Apple's surprising move to make the Apple Watch an AI wearable, and other leading AI developments from this week's Apple Event. 📺 youtu.be/yc-t_getvQ8 🎙️ tdv.transistor.fm/episodes/65...

We've got something interesting coming...

Heading to Cupertino... #AppleEvent2026

I've been looking for the best case for the Samsung Fold 8. This UAG Mouve case from Urban Armor Gear is my current favorite. + Grippy textured sides + Protection for back and front panels + MagSafe passthrough + Makes the phone easier to flip open www.urbanarmorgear.com/products/mo...

I'm expecting interesting developments to unfold...

Funny to see Google take a little jab about its camera bar: "It's so iconic that people are starting to copy us a little bit there." Of course it's talking about Apple's iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. #MadebyGoogle

Still reflecting on the remarkable life of Om Malik since his recent passing. Loved the new set of quotes and stories John Gruber shared on Daring Fireball. (Thanks for including me.) We can all learn from the tenacity and the humanity of Om Malik. daringfireball.net/2026/07/exa...

Q&A with Doug Brooks, senior product manager of Apple silicon, about Mac minis becoming preferred AI agent machines, future of on-device AI, and more (Jason Hiner/The Deep View) Main Link | Techmeme Permalink

AI industry heavyweights have changed their minds about LLMs and are lining up behind world models as the path to AGI. The Deep View's latest in-depth report from Nat Rubio-Licht has the inside story. www.thedeepview.com/articles/ho...

So many AI tools are Mac-first or Mac-only. It's the result of years of Apple investing in unified memory, neural processing, and vertical integration long before LLMs were a thing. I did an exclusive interview with Apple's Doug Brooks to learn why. www.thedeepview.com/articles/ho...

Moved by such thoughtful posts about Om Malik's passing this week, here's my favorite Om story. He struggled mightily to get his big break in tech journalism. He once told me "For three years, it was every day a rejection." Here's how he broke through. www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-o...

How Om Malik finally got his big break

(This is the opening anecdote from Chapter Six: The Blogger from my 2016 book, Follow the Geeks, co-authored with Lyndsey Gilpin. Om once told me that "For three years, it was every day a rejection" as he tried to break into tech journalism.
