ARD #99 – AI: Reset to Zero"},"content":{"rendered":"

The theme today: the AI industry is <\/span>stumbling at a \u2018failure to communicate\u2019.<\/strong> (Yes, the cool quote from 1967 movie \u2018Cool Hand Luke\u2019)\u2014 <\/span>
From <\/span>frontier AIs to frontier AI gadgets<\/strong> like smart glasses, and beyond. <\/span>Balancing fear and optimism<\/strong> is a critical issue, both for <\/span>users and regulators<\/strong>, and we\u2019re seeing industry stumbles around it. These are imperatives being driven, right in front of us, by what I\u2019m calling the <\/span>\u2018Blip 2.0\u2019<\/strong> \u2014 Anthropic\u2019s latest models taken off the market by the US government last Friday \u2014 but it applies far more broadly across the <\/span>US AI industry, enterprise and consumer<\/strong>: OpenAI, Google, Apple, Meta, Snap and others, into 2027 and beyond. Three events, each with my Take first \u2014 and my Overall Take.<\/span>
MP TAKE:<\/strong> The longer this Blip stretches out, the <\/span>greater the risk it spills onto other frontier AI companies beyond Anthropic<\/strong> \u2014 and that has bigger implications for <\/span>AI demand versus the multi-trillion-dollar budgets<\/strong> going into AI data-center and power infrastructure in the US and beyond. Especially in the teeth of <\/span>two more mega-AI IPOs to go<\/strong>, and despite investors leaning into the <\/span>\u2018Greed\u2019 part of this AI Tech Wave cycle.<\/strong>
We\u2019re in <\/span>day six<\/strong> now \u2014 longer than most observers expected. <\/span>Blip 1.0<\/strong> \u2014 when Sam Altman was fired and re-hired \u2014 took barely a weekend. Yesterday I half-joked this could end up more like the <\/span>US-Iran Hormuz negotiation that\u2019s now well past day one hundred<\/strong>, always \u201cimminently\u201d about to resolve. Hopefully it doesn\u2019t go that long. But at the core of it is a <\/span>failure to communicate<\/strong>: a lot of emotion, drama and personality friction with the US government, especially around policy and the Defense Department. The substance is straightforward \u2014 the cybersecurity risks of Anthropic\u2019s latest <\/span>super-scale<\/strong>, 10+ trillion parameter Mythos and Fable models versus the broad benefits no one really denies. And the other companies are <\/span>not standing still<\/strong>: OpenAI, Google and a whole host are also training much larger models from the current sub-2 trillion size LLM AI models. And Elon \u2014 now with a three-trillion-dollar-plus public currency vehicle SpaceX behind him \u2014 just closed a $60 billion acquisition of AI Coding leader <\/span>Cursor<\/strong>, which announced its own mega-LLM. Even with a relatively quick resolution, the Blip 2.0 now makes this <\/span>new category of uncertainty a permanent part of investor calculations going forward<\/strong> \u2014 and it <\/span>boosts open-source alternatives in the near term. Especially from China. Which ironically is one of the US government\u2019s primary geopolitical competitive concerns.<\/strong>

MP TAKE:<\/strong> Google in my view, remains the <\/span>most interesting consumer AI company at scale globally after Apple.<\/strong> Particularly because of its <\/span>OEM-supplier-driven global ecosystem<\/strong> of ChromeOS\/Chrome and Android laptops and smartphones. Although Google doesn\u2019t have the <\/span>vertical tech stack down to the silicon level<\/strong> that Apple does, it does have <\/span>over half a dozen global software platforms that each engage billions of mainstream users<\/strong> \u2014 YouTube, Gmail, Maps, Google Docs\/Drive, Chrome and others.<\/span>
Android 17 lands on Pixel today \u2014 less than 1% of the Android install base \u2014 but it\u2019ll roll out across Google\u2019s <\/span>dozens, if not hundreds, of OEM partners<\/strong> worldwide. What matters is what it carries: the latest Gemini features, in particular <\/span>Gemini Omni<\/strong>, the multi-modal model with industry-leading image, music-generation and other capabilities, becoming mainstream-available on regular phones without a premium \u2014 until heavy usage tips into subscription tiers or a-la-carte pricing. The only other company with a similar capaability is Apple, which is partnering with Google on Gemini. This, along with <\/span>world-class models<\/strong> around Gemini and DeepMind, makes Google <\/span>the one to watch alongside Apple in consumer-AI leadership at scale<\/strong> \u2014 state-of-the-art models reaching billions over the next few months.<\/span>

MP TAKE:<\/strong> Apple remains in the global consumer-AI <\/span>\u2018catbird seat\u2019<\/strong> for mainstream AI applications to billions \u2014 despite its perceived <\/span>\u2018lateness\u2019<\/strong> to the AI party. Apple is <\/span>just beginning to participate in consumer AI at scale<\/strong> \u2014 not because it\u2019s late to AI, but because <\/span>AI has been late.<\/strong> Beyond its \u2018mainframe\u2019 AI focus on enterprise and AI-coding developers, the <\/span>mainstream consumer opportunity<\/strong> is only now opening up: the technologies <\/span>beyond chatbots to AI agents<\/strong> are just being developed, and the experimentation around AI wearables and hardware platforms has <\/span>barely started.<\/strong>
And for the first time in fifty-plus years, this hardware innovation <\/span>does not have the Moore\u2019s Law tailwinds<\/strong> of declining supply-chain costs and prices that other tech waves enjoyed in spades \u2014 you\u2019re already seeing 20-30-40%+ increases in laptop, computer, smartphone and other gadget prices in the non-Apple universe from memory and component shortages. As a result, this AI hardware-device wave will likely roll out <\/span>smaller, and more initially expensive, than most waves before it.<\/strong> And Apple, for now, is the <\/span>best globally positioned company for it<\/strong> \u2014 especially with a new CEO and hardware chief who cut their teeth at Apple for decades in hardware and semiconductors, <\/span>John Ternus and Johny Srouji.<\/strong> Just getting started this Fall 2026.<\/span>

For longtime readers, in narrative order: <\/span>\u2018Apple\u2019s supply chain locks out most tech memory pressures\u2019<\/strong> in <\/span>AI-RTZ #1010<\/a><\/strong>; <\/span>\u2018A clearer view on Apple\u2019s AI wearables\u2019<\/strong> in <\/span>AI-RTZ #1002<\/a><\/strong>; <\/span>\u2018OpenAI\u2019s own OS-driven AI smartphone in 2027\u2019<\/strong> in <\/span>AI-RTZ #1078<\/a><\/strong>; and <\/span>\u2018Long-expected Apple Cook-to-Ternus CEO shift activated\u2019<\/strong> in <\/span>AI-RTZ #1063.<\/a><\/strong>
These products \u2014 the latest multi-modal models on Android phones, the smart glasses rolling out not just from Apple next year but three or four models from Meta later this year, and Google\u2019s new glasses with Samsung \u2014 all carry the same need to communicate around their <\/span>societal impact.<\/strong> And do so with respect for user fears, right or wrong. Society has real concerns about the inappropriate use of these technologies. Google ran into exactly this over a decade ago: within days of the first AI smart glasses shipping, wearers were being called <\/span>\u2018Glassholes\u2019<\/strong> for recording everything. Just as the government is freaking out over the cybersecurity implications of Anthropic\u2019s models, society has big questions about how these innocuous-looking gadgets get used.<\/span>
AI devices potentially stretch the mainstream user\u2019s personal-tech budget beyond laptops and smartphones<\/strong> \u2014 adding <\/span>$500 to $2,000-plus<\/strong> on top of <\/span>$1,000-plus laptops<\/strong> and <\/span>$500-plus smartphones<\/strong>, before you even address <\/span>gaming consoles at $500-$1,000<\/strong> or tuck in a high-end <\/span>foldable at $1,500-plus<\/strong> \u2014 at a time when <\/span>chip and memory costs are creeping toward 50% of the buildable \u2018bill of materials.\u2019<\/strong> <\/span>Only Apple is best positioned to play this extra AI-device hardware game at scale in 2027 and beyond.<\/strong> Everyone else is hoping for the best \u2014 <\/span>OpenAI, Google and Meta on the big end, and everyone else on the smaller end<\/strong> \u2014 especially in a world where <\/span>price pressure for everything is still on a global uptrend<\/strong>, both from AI supply-chain \u2018infrastructure inflation\u2019 and US-vs-world geopolitical \/ trade \/ tariff dynamics. <\/span>Moore\u2019s Law technology benefits for mainstream users are suspended through 2030<\/strong> \u2014 especially for hardware-driven tech and AI innovations. The companies, and AI researchers, have to learn to communicate in a <\/span>simpler, clearer, pragmatic and honest way \u2014 with respect<\/strong> \u2014 and work with governments and regulators proactively, so we don\u2019t get more blips.<\/span>
MP Take: Snap has long been the tech industry\u2019s <\/span>R&D lab posing as a social-media company<\/strong> \u2014 even with a billion users and over <\/span>450,000 developers<\/strong> who\u2019ve experimented with its AI smart glasses for over a dozen years. The running joke in Silicon Valley is that <\/span>Evan Spiegel has been Meta and Zuck\u2019s senior product manager in reality<\/strong> \u2014 his \u2018Stories\u2019 format was rapidly \u2018emulated \u2018 by founder\/CEO Mark Zuckerberg into Instagram years ago, making the \u2018Gram\u2019 the cultural staple among young folk. With <\/span>\u2018Specs\u2019<\/strong> \u2014 essentially Apple Vision Pro-class functionality in a glasses configuration, no pucks, at a <\/span>$2,200<\/strong> price \u2014 Evan now goes up against Zuck\u2019s vast AR ambitions and resources. It\u2019s a <\/span>labor of love<\/strong>, backed by his super-voting stock control. The stock is <\/span>down over 30% this year at a ~$9 billion market cap<\/strong> on a billion users. At some point, Snap may make a great <\/span>friendly acquihire \/ acquisition candidate<\/strong> for a bigger tech company \u2014 Meta, Apple, Google, Amazon and others. (These are not stock recommendations.)<\/span>
Sources, in narrative order: <\/span>CNBC<\/strong> \u2014 <\/span>Snap founder\/CEO Evan Spiegel unveils $2,195 \u2018Specs\u2019 AR glasses<\/a><\/strong> (and on <\/span>YouTube<\/a><\/strong>). <\/span>Fast Company<\/strong> \u2014 <\/span>a look at Snap\u2019s \u2018Specs\u2019<\/a><\/strong>. <\/span>The Verge<\/strong> \u2014 <\/span>Snap is finally about to ship AR glasses, and they cost a fortune<\/a><\/strong>. <\/span>Smart Glasses Guy<\/strong> \u2014 <\/span>enthusiastic early-adopter review<\/a><\/strong>.

The <\/span>smartphone, before all else.<\/strong> It\u2019s a unique capability to add cool AI to it bottom-up, leveraging user data and context with respect for user privacy \u2014 especially for <\/span>Apple and Google.<\/strong> Apple in particular, with Siri AI this fall, is essentially in pole position to be the AI-device company over the next 18-24 months as it rolls that out \u2014 because it leverages your own data with a lot of personal AI training on <\/span>local models, with privacy, trust and security.<\/strong> Apple is also doing a relatively better job communicating the need for this in simple terms \u2014 including parental controls for children, as it showed at WWDC a few days ago.<\/span>
AirPods with cameras<\/strong> \u2014 the thing I was hoping to see from Apple this year, now looking like late 2027. Why? Because we need <\/span>ambient collection with trust and privacy<\/strong>, and Apple has a better shot at doing it. These cameras won\u2019t necessarily take pictures of people \u2014 they\u2019ll be aware of things that can feed <\/span>local data, with security and privacy<\/strong>, so the local AI systems become more knowledgeable about what matters to me and can answer questions in an <\/span>agentic form.<\/strong> Meanwhile I\u2019ll keep playing around with <\/span>AI smart glasses for 2028 and beyond.<\/strong>

AI as a technology wave has drawn a historic degree of fear \u2014 from regulators and users alike \u2014 relative to any tech wave before it. Part of the reason is the founders themselves: Anthropic\u2019s Dario Amodei has been consistently vocal about safety, calling as recently as a week or two ago for more government involvement in regulating these later super-scale models.
MP Take: Safety is core to Anthropic\u2019s DNA, and that\u2019s a good thing. But the fear is real and historic, and the Blip 2.0 shows what happens when the communication around it stumbles. Better, simpler communication with regulators is exactly what should have headed this off.

As AI smart glasses roll out from Apple, Meta, Google and Snap, society has real concerns about the creepiness factor \u2014 recording and recognizing people without their permission. Google hit this a decade ago: within days of Glass shipping, wearers were being called \u2018Glassholes.\u2019 There\u2019s even a sub-industry now to disable the recording light on Meta glasses for a hundred dollars.
MP Take: Just like the government is freaking out over the cybersecurity implications of Anthropic\u2019s models, society has big questions about how these innocuous-looking gadgets get used. That needs to be communicated more clearly \u2014 by the companies, working proactively with regulators \u2014 so we avoid more blips.

Snap\u2019s stock is down over 30% this year at a roughly $9 billion market cap \u2014 but it has a billion social users and over a dozen years of AI smart-glasses innovation. Over 90% of the stock is controlled by Evan Spiegel through 10-to-1 super-votes, so any deal would have to be friendly.
MP Take: At $9 billion in a world trading AI in the billions and trillions, Snap is possibly a friendly acquihire or acquisition candidate down the road \u2014 for Meta, Apple, Google, Amazon or others who\u2019d value its wearables and glasses IP. These are not stock recommendations.

Snap\u2019s new \u2018Specs\u2019 are basically Apple Vision Pro functionality in a glasses configuration \u2014 bigger and thicker than Meta\u2019s, but far more capable, with no pucks, at a $2,200 price. Available for pre-order now, shipping this fall. This is not a mainstream price \u2014 it\u2019s absolutely an early-adopter product.
MP Take: I\u2019ve been an AI smart-glasses fan for a long time and owned Snap\u2019s glasses from the very beginning. Without today\u2019s memory and component shortages, \u2018Specs\u2019 would probably be a few hundred dollars cheaper. Snap has been a real leader here, and Evan Spiegel has been innovative from day one.

Across both enterprise AI and consumer AI gadgets, the through-line is the same: a failure to communicate. There\u2019s a tendency among tech folks and AI researchers to assume regular people won\u2019t understand the complexity \u2014 to just ship the products and let users figure out the risks on their own. At a time of so much fear, that\u2019s not good enough.
MP Take: AI companies need to communicate in a simpler, clearer, pragmatic and honest way \u2014 with respect. They need to work with governments and regulators far more proactively, so we don\u2019t get more blips. Avoiding the failure to communicate is a critical one across both the enterprise and consumer sides.

Anthropic\u2019s Mythos and Fable are 10-trillion-parameter \u2018super-scale\u2019 models \u2014 versus the 1-to-2-trillion-parameter models typical at OpenAI, Google and others. More training data, hundreds of millions of dollars and years of pre-training are what make them so potentially good \u2014 and so potentially dangerous, able to scan decades of code and surface deep cybersecurity vulnerabilities. That dual-use power sits at the heart of the day-six standoff with the US government.
MP Take: This is the technical core of the Blip 2.0. The capability that scares regulators \u2014 finding huge vulnerabilities across forty or fifty years of code \u2014 is the same capability that can secure systems, with the right processes built in cooperation with governments. Rivals are training toward the same thresholds fast: Elon\u2019s newly Cursor-fortified xAI, OpenAI, Google and the larger open-source models out of China are all heading to a trillion-and-a-half parameters and up. The questions raised around Anthropic\u2019s models are coming quickly for everyone \u2014 which is exactly why this needs to be communicated and resolved better.
Both are daily. Both are free. Both are about AI. But they\u2019re different mediums carrying different messages.<\/em>
