Excited to share new @Amazonleo Ultra is fastest satellite internet antenna ever built, delivering simultaneous download speeds up to 1 Gbps and upload speeds up to 400 Mbps, all powered by custom Leo silicon. Plus some more details on our network, which will offer enterprise-grade performance and advanced encryption, with secure private networking that bypasses public internet—connecting directly to AWS and other cloud and on-premise networks. Combo will be extremely valuable for the millions of enterprises, government agencies, and organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity. Team is also kicking off our enterprise preview with select customers using production hardware and software to gather feedback and tailor solutions ahead of next year's commercial launch. Lots of encouraging progress to bring connectivity to customers and partners who need it most. https://aboutamazon.com/news/amazon-leo/amazon-leo-satellite-internet-ultra-pro…
What the HECK is going on with tech? In the last week: Multiple cloud outages, x DMs totally broken, antigravity doesn't work, my watch is showing me 15 year old cal events, mac OS is a mess, email is spammed to hell and every nerd on here is talking like new AI is the second coming
A number of people are talking about implications of AI to schools. I spoke about some of my thoughts to a school board earlier, some highlights: 1. You will never be able to detect the use of AI in homework. Full stop. All "detectors" of AI imo don't really work, can be defeated in various ways, and are in principle doomed to fail. You have to assume that any work done outside classroom has used AI. 2. Therefore, the majority of grading has to shift to in-class work (instead of at-home assignments), in settings where teachers can physically monitor students. The students remain motivated to learn how to solve problems without AI because they know they will be evaluated without it in class later. 3. We want students to be able to use AI, it is here to stay and it is extremely powerful, but we also don't want students to be naked in the world without it. Using the calculator as an example of a historically disruptive technology, school teaches you how to do all the basic math & arithmetic so that you can in principle do it by hand, even if calculators are pervasive and greatly speed up work in practical settings. In addition, you understand what it's doing for you, so should it give you a wrong answer (e.g. you mistyped "prompt"), you should be able to notice it, gut check it, verify it in some other way, etc. The verification ability is especially important in the case of AI, which is presently a lot more fallible in a great variety of ways compared to calculators. 4. A lot of the evaluation settings remain at teacher's discretion and involve a creative design space of no tools, cheatsheets, open book, provided AI responses, direct internet/AI access, etc. TLDR the goal is that the students are proficient in the use of AI, but can also exist without it, and imo the only way to get there is to flip classes around and move the majority of testing to in class settings.

JUST IN: Elon Musk says AI and humanoid robots will "eliminate poverty" and "make everyone wealthy."
Consensus view: Humans will serve as managers and editors, directing teams of AI agents. I'm more intrigued by the reverse. Who's building software that tells humans what to do?
Got a 3,500 word banger coming out tomorrow. Represents months of interviews, customer calls, and late night writing by me. The age of robots has come.
