Yeah. Really no way around it. This Pixel Launch was a bad show. You could see how much money was spent on AstroTurfing celeb endorsements and hosting. The staging and presentations were less engaging than QVC. There were no big reveals. It felt horribly inauthentic.

And this is for PIXEL TEN. The TENTH Pixel was something of an afterthought in most of the demos and presentations. Just remember how wild the reactions were for iPhone X.

The hottest trending topic in tech right now is the price hike on Playstation. Google completely dropped the ball here.

Today, my 8 year old desktop feels more than capable.

"Three years into the hype, it seems that one of AI’s enduring cultural impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it," writes Charlie Warzel for @TheAtlantic. He takes a look at how the technology is generating breathless excitement among some, what it means to be "AGI-pilled," and the consequences for young people of effectively telling them that their careers are going to be stymied before they've even begun. "Many people simply don’t know what conclusions to draw about AI, but it is impossible not to be thinking about it," he writes. "Even if you personally don’t believe in the hype, you are living in an economy that has reoriented itself around AI."

Reflections from Black Hat USA 2025 on Deception, Disinformation, and the Marketing That Chose Fiction Over Facts... 🤔

As I was driving away from Las Vegas... pretty damn fast -- as you can see -- I couldn't shake a troubling feeling from Black Hat.

The Narrative Attack Paradox: When #Cybersecurity Lost the Ability to Detect Its Own Deception and the Humanity We Risk When Truth Becomes Optional

The paradox? An industry studying "narrative attacks"—AI-powered campaigns that flood information environments with personalized deception at scale—as external threats, while simultaneously being surrounded by their own #marketing language that had become indistinguishable from the very algorithmic content generation they were warning about.

When the canary in the coal mine—the cybersecurity industry that's supposed to detect digital deception—loses its ability to distinguish authentic capability from algorithmic fiction, what hope do other industries have?

We're living in a Borgesian nightmare where marketing descriptions of #AI capabilities have become more influential than actual AI capabilities.

The problem isn't just technological—it's epistemological. We've built machines that decide what questions we should ask and how we should evaluate the answers.

A direct challenge to marketing professionals: This is your wake-up call. Stop letting #algorithms craft your messages. The most respected brands choose honesty over hype, transparency over clever AI-optimized copy. When your audience can't distinguish between human insight and machine-generated claims, authentic communication becomes your only competitive advantage.

The canary may be struggling to breathe, but it's still singing. The question is whether we're still listening.

There's so much more to think about here—from Borges to McLuhan, from recursive information crises to what we risk when truth becomes optional.

Read the full analysis, or if you prefer, listen to the podcast version included in the newsletter.

Let's keep exploring what it means to be human in this Hybrid Analog Digital Society—especially when the stakes have never been higher.

Robo (and) cop.

Saturday morning outing to take some photos found me immersed in the world of dogs, including this well-trained Boston Dynamics Spot the robo dog sitting in front of a bemused police officer.

The robot dog was on patrol (part of an exhibition introducing the world of forensic science to kids) at the Questacon building here in Canberra.

Watching the dog roaming around interacting with folks and walking up and down the concrete stairs instilled equal parts fascination and unease. But honestly, it was mostly just; whoa..coool!

It is easy to get a sense of the multitudes of potentials these dogs are evolving, both good and evil.

I will be posting some of the other dog photos I shot over the next couple of days. Including more of Spot.

Canada is experiencing its second-worst wildfire season on record (more than 7.3 million hectares have burned so far in 2025) and it's been particularly bad in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Paris Marx writes about how social media, particularly Facebook, has led to the spread of misinformation. False claims include that resources are being taken from one fire to prioritize another, and even that the states of emergency declared are part of a government campaign to take people's rights. "We can become accustomed to the harms of these platforms and the information environment they create, but the social damage really comes to the fore in a moment of crisis when you can see just how bad they are informing people," Marx says.

35 years ago, Jim Sanborn presented the cryptographic sculpture Kryptos to the Central Intelligence Agency in Langley, Virginia. Made from copper, granite, quartz and petrified wood, it has four sections, each of which holds a message in code. Over the years, three of the sections have been solved — by CIA code breakers, a California computer scientist, and the National Security Agency. Now, 79-year-old Sanborn says he's going to auction off the solution to the final message, with the company arranging the sale estimating a winning bid between $300,000 and $500,000. Here's @newyorktimes's story on why he's doing it now, and what he hopes the winning bidder will do with the secret.

As artificial intelligence takes jobs from office workers, drivers and others, where is the fabled universal income that was promised as part of an AI utopia?

@WSJ explores what Elon Musk, Sam Altman and others have said on the subject.

Russia restricts calls via WhatsApp and Telegram, the latest step to control the internet.

@AssociatedPress reports the government's claims: “foreign messengers Telegram and WhatsApp have become the main voice services used to deceive and extort money, and to involve Russian citizens in sabotage and terrorist activities.”

✨ AI’s ‘reasoning’ is more mirror than mind—but that’s okay!
This ASU study reveals that LLMs’ "chain-of-thought" abilities are pattern-based illusions, not true logic.
The authors warn of a "false aura of reliability" in AI outputs, which could mislead in fields like healthcare or finance.
While that might sound disappointing, it’s actually useful insight! Understanding these limits can help us:
✅ Build better guardrails for AI in critical applications.
✅ Develop tests to expose AI’s blind spots.
✅ Shift focus from "human-like thinking" to reliable, transparent outputs.

Big thanks to @agnieszkaserafinowicz for sharing! 🙌

Photo from the 1950s/60s showing a monstrous early mainframe computer, with what is likely a satirical caption: Scientists from the RAND Corporation have created this model to illustrate bow a “home computer” could look like in the Year 2004. However the needed technology will not be economically feasible for the average home. Also the scientists readily admit that the computer will require not yet invented technology to actually work, but 50 sears from now scientific progress is expected 10 solue these problems. With teletype interface and the Fortran language, the compter will be easy to use and only

A new study from two researchers at the University of Amsterdam looks at what makes social media so terrible — and found that it's not algorithms, non-chronological feeds or humans' tendency to seek out negativity. "Rather, the dynamics that give rise to all those negative outcomes are structurally embedded in the very architecture of social media. So we're probably doomed to endless toxic feedback loops unless someone hits upon a brilliant fundamental redesign that manages to change those dynamics," writes @arstechnica's @JenLucPiquant. She spoke with Dr. Petter Törnberg, one of the study's authors, to learn more.

"Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic! If static our hopes are in vain; if kinetic — and this we know it is, for certain — then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature."

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) thinking. Tesla is seated in a dimly lit study or laboratory. He wears a dark, tailored suit, complete with a high-collared white shirt and a neatly tied bowtie, reflecting his elegant style. His slender frame and sharp features are illuminated by soft, focused light, emphasizing his high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, and slightly furrowed brow.
