usually a fan of Zeynep's accounts, but AI will get better and better at customer service until it's at least as good as humans, … a big part of that will be systems engineering, including architectures that enable one AI interaction to share with the next www.nytimes.com/2026…

Recent commentary
AI reviews are especially annoying because they are great at raising issues that appear to be legitimate to overworked associate editors, but which are in fact nonsense.
in response to the flood of nonsense papers, too much of reviewing has become, "gotcha!", you used AI or you messed up a rule, desk reject. boom. science.
as confusing and chaotic as AI is right now, we'll be looking back at right now as the best days. the AI companies are competing for users, it's easy to access and mostly it's getting better. i can look up advice on products and it's mostly legit. when will the enshittification start?? :(
wouldn't it be neat to see where your AI computations happened, how many computers it involved, maybe even amount of power used … i imagine that information is harder than I might think to have access to real-time, but wouldn't it be cool?
there are far too many "AI" conferences being started.
