The Latest AI Developments

🛡️ Claude Will Stay Ad-Free

Anthropic went public with a big promise. No ads in Claude. They’re backing it up with Super Bowl spots roasting chatbots that shove ads mid-conversation. A direct shot at OpenAI’s plan to bring ads to ChatGPT’s free tier. Bold when you're still burning cash, but the positioning is clear.

⚡ Positron Takes On Nvidia

Positron just closed $230M for inference chips claiming H100 performance at under a third of the power. Qatar’s QIA led the round. The “Nvidia alternative” pitch is crowded, but sovereign AI money keeps showing up. $230 million worth of showing up.

📣 Alexa+ Is Now Available to Everyone

Amazon flipped the switch on Alexa+ nationwide. Prime members get it free, everyone else gets a limited tier or needs a subscription. But the real play is integrations. Uber, OpenTable, and Ticketmaster are all baked in. Amazon’s betting their assistant that can do things for you, wins.

Interesting AI

David Kipping: “We Need To Talk About AI” is what happens when a Columbia astrophysicist walks into a closed meeting at the Institute for Advanced Study and comes back shaken.

Top physicists in the room agreed AI can now handle roughly 90% of their intellectual work. Not admin. Not coding. The actual thinking. One professor handed agentic systems root access to his entire digital life and said the advantage is so large that privacy doesn’t matter anymore.

Kipping recorded this solo episode because the meeting rattled him enough that he felt people needed to hear it. When the smartest people in the room are holding emergency meetings about what comes next, it’s worth your time.
