China just held the world's first humanoid robot MMA fight 🤖🥊 One robot literally knocked the other's head off mid-match. This is real, not sci-fi. Welcome to 2026.

Jürgen Schmidhuber (@SchmidhuberAI) on the AI infrastructure trap: "If you invest $1 trillion today into GPUs for data centers, within five years you're going to lose $900 billion. Somebody is going to lose $900 billion in the near future. Because there is no business model to recuperate all these losses."

Andrew Bosworth (@boztank), CTO at @Meta , on Meta's advantage over its competitors: "It's the collection of all four of those things (Model, product, distribution, consumer experience) that we see as our superpower relative to the competitors — most of whom, whether it's @Apple or @AnthropicAI , @OpenAI or @Google , only have one of those things."

Andrew Bosworth (@boztank) , CTO at @Meta : "The era of the monolithic model kind of died around @llama 3 launch. There's one model and just let's test how smart this model is — that was how good it's going to be at lots of things. We're now in a world where when you're using these harnesses, they're shopping underneath to lots of different models depending on the task."

The AI labs just quietly changed the game. It's no longer "who has the smartest model" — it's "who builds the best product with it." OpenAI, Anthropic, everyone is shifting from selling intelligence → selling outcomes.

Andrew Bosworth (@boztank) , CTO at @Meta, on the AI model arms race: "Models are available. You can go rent a model. You can use Anthropic's. You can use OpenAI's. They're great models." The real value, he argues, is in the product — and Meta's edge is understanding users better than almost anyone else.

Meta's #1 selling feature on their AI glasses isn't AI. Meta's VP of Wearables (@ahimel) broke down the exact 8 RULES that separate the winners from the Google Glasses and Humane Pins of the world. Media: Big Technology Podcast

A World Cup goal just got disallowed because of a sensor chip inside the ball. Not a bad call. Not a foul. A touch no human eye — not the ref, not 4K replay — could detect. The machine was right. Nobody wanted it to be. This is the AI trust problem in one play 🧵

Ranjan Roy (@ranjanxroy), VP Industry Lead – Retail at @Get_Writer, says one of the biggest AI career opportunities over the next few years won't be building better models—it'll be understanding how information flows through AI agents. As companies move from simple prompts to autonomous agents, context engineering, knowledge organization, and reliable information retrieval will become critical skills. "The more you can start to grab a hold of how information flows through these agents... it's going to be a really, really interesting space." This is one of those shifts that's easy to overlook today—but could define the next generation of AI experts. - Big Technology AI Summit

Alex Stamos (@alexstamos), former CSO at @Meta, pushes back on the Mythos hype cycle: "Everybody pretends that Mythos was the breakthrough, but that is not true for people in the security world who've been paying attention. This Rubicon was crossed well last year with the Opus 4 series with the GPT-5 series. That is when the models became better or as good as the best human bugfinders." - Big Technology AI Summit

"It's anti-capitalist." 🔥 Alex Kantrowitz (@Kantrowitz) on why a government stake in OpenAI is a massive conflict of interest — the same people deciding which AI models launch would also profit when they win. - @CNBC

Mike Krieger (@mikeyk), @AnthropicAI Labs Lead (@instagram co-founder), on what makes frontier models like Fable different: "For me it's the sort of scope and scale of delegation. These models are still spiky in capabilities — in some ways they're a better engineer than me. In other ways, I was complaining today that it missed a descender in the UI." - Big Technology AI Summit
