Google just activated a dormant superpower that OpenAI can't copy.

Their new Personal Intelligence update for Gemini proves that the next phase of AI isn't about raw intelligence...it's about context. By ingesting your Gmail, photos, search logs, and YouTube watch history, Google is doing something OpenAI literally cannot do: utilizing a decades-long backlog of your digital footprint to personalize responses instantly.

The analogy I use in the video is simple: OpenAI is a first date; Google is a 20-year marriage. One is trying to impress you; the other already knows where you left your keys and what you looked like in 2009. The battle for the "best" model is over. The battle for the most "personalized" model just started.

New York is drawing hard lines on AI and education, first in NYC classrooms and now at the state level. It's a much needed band-aid, and I commend @govkathyhochul for the leadership and action.

Pausing makes sense. Keeping kids away from AI forever does not. I’m on an AI task force in my district and have two young children growing up in the age of AI...so I’ve been thinking about this a lot.

I have an proposition for closing the gap, and it’s very ’90s. 👇

The NBA just named Kalshi and Polymarket its official prediction market partners.

The deal is built on an "integrity framework." That's an interesting choice of words for a league embroiled in gambling scandals amongst its players, coaches and refs.

I've seen money in sports from my four years as a Division I athlete at Fairleigh Dickinson University (where even filling out a March Madness bracket with no money involved was still grounds for a suspension), and I think this partnership is a gamble where the house wins (financially), and the integrity of the game loses. My thoughts in the first story of this week's Innovation Brief below!

Is Anthropic’s 5% pledge for the public, or for the IPO?

I use a $100 bill and some sleight-of-hand to provide the metaphor for what's actually happening with this announcement.

When flying to Silicon Valley, this is required reading (both optically and intellectually). Make sure when reading to alternate facial expressions between reflective, shocked, and uncontrollable laughter. Thank you @kevinroose for this gem of a read!
