It's entirely possible that a lot of software developers and product managers will be out of a job in 3 to 5 years. I hope they are planning what they will do in their career pivot?

i keep seeing people say that LLMs are good at search. NO. WRONG. You have just forgotten how good search used to be. Google broke it's own flagship product, and so you are accepting a demented chatbot's half baked gishgallop because we no longer have functional web search.

The trade tariffs with China decimates pricing on everyday goods for the bottom 30% and consumers who are stretched in their finances. It's basically like a tax for the poor. Trump is hurting the very voters he claimed to be serving with these policies.

The newsletter Creator economy and YouTube are getting further and further away from actual journalism and reality Not a fan of what I'm witnessing. Creators are chasing clickbait and using AI in ways that skew away from facts and any semblance of investigative journalism.

As the US is pulling out of Europe, Russia is getting prepared to invade NATO. This is all fairly obvious if you are following German national security updates. In the next few years Russia could invade Europe and China could invade Taiwan literally at the same time. Trump is facilitating this.

Not an accident by the way that OpenAI releases "Reference saved memories" at the same time as Microsoft finally releases Copilot+ Recall, both fairly nefarious data harvesting schemes. Be carefully what you asked for Bluesky.

Artificial intelligence is entering a new phase in 2025. The Forbes 50 AI list is worth a look in early 2025. Should note that former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati’s stealthy startup Thinking Machine Labs is thinking of doing a huge seed round! Maybe $2 Billion. Unbelievable!

The writing platform Substack after poaching Twitter influencers for years, is now trying to poach TikTok Creators with a new partnerships hire and a Notes platform that priorities videos instead of blogs. I guess poaching influencers is your path to fame when you are a small startup.

The difference between Llama-4 and Qwen 3 is going to be the biggest evidence that China has overtaken the US in open source large language models. It's clear Meta AI's team is not very good compared to the AI capex they have spent. It's shocking really.

Trump's understanding of economics outside of getting people to pay him for favors is rather limited. Liberation Day is going to be the worst tariff moment in history of a generation in America's relationships with other countries. You almost have to downgrade the US dollar and credit rating.
