AI's Speed, Glasses, and California Migration
1/ AI’s Incredible Iteration Speed
The pace of AI iteration right now is genuinely unprecedented. If the ancient philosophers like Plato or Aristotle were alive today, they would not just be writing. They would be building, testing, shipping, and iterating nonstop.
2/ Zuck: Glasses Are the Ideal AI Form Factor
Glasses sit at the perfect intersection of context, vision, audio, and always on compute.
Once AI understands what you see, what you hear, and what you are trying to do in real time, the interface disappears.
3/ Are AI Leaders Leaving California?
This trend keeps popping up. Talent is increasingly unbundled from geography, and the gravitational pull of California is weaker than it used to be.
Between remote work, tax considerations, and new innovation hubs forming, the center of gravity for AI will continue to decentralize.
4/ AI IPOs Coming in Q1?
If this happens, it will be a massive signal. Public markets validating AI companies would mark a new phase of the cycle.
Less speculation, more fundamentals, and a clear separation between real AI businesses and hype driven ones.
5/ Mobile AGI?
This idea sounds wild until it suddenly does not. As models get smaller, faster, and more efficient, running powerful agents directly on mobile devices becomes realistic.
That changes privacy, latency, and cost in a huge way. Local intelligence is coming back.
