Posted on by steve blank How did you go bankrupt?” Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.” Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises Every disruptive technology since the fire and the wheel have forced leaders to adapt or die.

The era of exploration

Large language models are the unintended byproduct of about three decades worth of freely accessible human text online. Ilya Sutskever compared this reservoir of information to fossil fuel, abundant but ultimately finite. Some studies suggest that, at current token‑consumption rates, frontier labs could exhaust the highest‑quality English web text well before the decade ends. Even if those projections prove overly pessimistic, one fact is clear: today’s models consume data far faster than humans

The End of the Stock Market As We Know It

A revolution is brewing in finance, promising to shatter the old walls of Wall Street and bring assets like stocks, bonds, and even skyscrapers onto the blockchain. It’s called tokenization, and it could fundamentally change how we own, trade, and think about value. To understand what this means for the average person, we broke down the concept and spoke with Ken DiCross, co-founder of the blockchain interoperability platform Wire Network, about the future of a tokenized world. 1. What Is Token

Starlink’s In-Flight Wi-Fi Is Faster Than Its Home Internet Speeds: Here’s Why

Starlink is nearly twice as fast as any other in-flight Wi-Fi option, according to the latest report by the speed test site Ookla. (Disclaimer: Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.) The satellite internet company from SpaceX clocked median download speeds of 152 megabits per second and upload speeds of 24Mbps. That means that Starlink’s speeds in the air are faster than some internet providers on the ground. Those download and upload speeds were nearly twice as fast a

But we (and Switch owners) have been waiting patiently for that 1.0 release date, and it looks like it might be just around the corner, with Supergiant confirming that the latest U

When it comes to the humans of Jurassic World, have any of them hit the icon status of Jurassic Park’s original trinity? No one has come close to

EverQuest

This article tells part of the story of MMORPGs. It isn’t always or even usually the pioneers who reap the rewards of the trails they blaze. As often as not, some pragmatic Johnny-come-lately pops in to make off with the booty. Such was the case in the MMORPG space in the late 1990s. There Ultima Online demonstrated that there was an audience for a persistent fantasy world where people could live out alternative existences together through the magic of the Internet.

Zuckerberg Was Wrong About the Metaverse. Can We Really Trust Him With Superintelligent AI?

Mark Zuckerberg once sold us the metaverse. Now he wants us to believe he’s going to lead us into the age of superintelligence. Should we fall for it again? Elon Musk once called him “Zuck the Fourteenth,” a jab comparing Meta’s CEO to France’s King Louis XIV—a monarch infamous for his ego, extravagance, and disregard for limits. It’s a fitting label, especially as Zuckerberg floods the headlines, positioning himself as Silicon Valley’s new AI king. But let’s rewind. Just a few years ago, Zuc

Google is testing a smaller, more reachable Gemini overlay on tablets

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is rolling out a UI update for the Gemini app on Android tablets that shrinks the size of the overlay. The new overlay is about one-third the width of the screen instead of two-thirds and is anchored to the right side. This updated interface only applies to the standard Gemini experience and seems to be part of a slow server-side rollout. There are a lot of AI chatbots you can talk to these days, but I personally use Google Gemini on all my dev

NASA Reveals First-Ever Full Image of Peanut-Shaped Asteroid Donaldjohanson

Scientists with NASA’s Lucy mission are finally wrapping up the process of refining the data gathered by the spacecraft’s April 20 encounter with Donaldjohanson, an asteroid in our solar system’s main asteroid belt. And it’s, uh, as peanut-shaped as we first saw it. Earlier this year, Lucy’s Long Range Reconnaissance Imager snapped an image of Donaldjohansson while quickly swooping past it, at a distance of about 600 miles (960 kilometers), with the smallest visible features measuring around 13

Could Google’s Veo 3 be the start of playable world models?

Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google’s AI research organization DeepMind, appeared to suggest Tuesday evening that Veo 3, Google’s latest video-generating model, could potentially be used for video games. In response to a post on X beseeching Google to “Let me play a video game of my veo 3 videos already,” and asking, “playable world models wen?” Hassabis responded, “now wouldn’t that be something.” On Wednesday morning, Logan Kilpatrick, lead product for Google’s AI Studio and Gemini API, chimed in
