The most brilliant move in corporate history?

In a bold departure from its Big Tech peers, Apple sidestepped the $650 billion AI infrastructure spending frenzy, a move likened to opting out of purchasing the US Navy annually. While Amazon, Goo…

FUN FACT:

If no one uses OpenAI, OpenAI dies.

The same goes for many Big Tech corporations and their platforms.

Everyone that leaves them erases their existence a little more, and deepens community another day. Feels good to break up with Big Tech, doesn’t it?

The massive MTerra Solar project, when it is fully completed, will boast 3.5-gigawatts (GW) of solar and 4.5-gigawatt-hours (GWh) of battery energy storage."

Great discussion on the use of agentic AI on the last episode. One thing that I didn’t think you got to address (unless I daydreamed over it) is this issue of programming “cognitive debt”. Wondering what your thoughts are on it. It’s easy foretell that such debt can also lead to other debts earlier in the process, such as “spec development” debt, or even earlier, as in “problem definition” debt. And there’s the big danger of, as with most debts ignored to grow uncontrollably, complete cognitive bankruptcy. A valid concern?
