In 1974, the mathematician Douglas Hofstadter used a graphing calculator to find a fractal pattern in how electrons behave. His adviser dismissed it as numerology. The fractal, called the Hofstadter butterfly, is now known to be a real-life phenomenon. www.quantamagazine.org/ten-martini-...

Amazon buying farmland, "de-watering" it to lay cable, creating energy demand double what state currently needs, getting $8 billion in tax breaks. All for whatever Anthropic's next AI model is going to be. This will never be worth the tradeoff.

What is the argument that this isn’t driving up energy use again? Enough to power a million homes. Millions of gallons of water used per year. All for one company, Anthropic. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/t...

Startups are now pitching the replacement of SEO, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). They promise to help companies optimize how they show up in AI overviews.

This seems geared towards brands that want the summary of the company or products to be as positive as possible instead of web publishers
