Forget the glossy AI models for a moment. The real power player in the AI revolution is infrastructure. 🔌The 'sexy' part of AI isn't the models—it's the infrastructure. Cathy Hackl (Nokia Futurist) explains that "AI Native Networks" are a necessity. Our current networks can't handle the load of agentic and physical AI alongside humans. The $1B Nvidia investment in Nokia confirms this is where the real money is going. Watch the full episode for the rest of the story. #XR #AI #AIXRPodcast #Nokia #Infrastructure #AGI #Strategy

AI XR News You Should Know From @AIXRPodcast: The AI funding wars are here: $1B seed round for Advanced Machine Intelligence. The first move? Buying up Nvidia chips. It's a compute race. We also discuss the dark side: companies paying people to wear cameras for robot training—a real-life "gargoyle" scenario from Snow Crash. Are we training our own replacements?

The next frontier in AI and tech isn't just in the US. @CathyHackl , Futurist for Nokia and BCG advisor, joins the AI XR Podcast to talk about her work across the Middle East and what it means for global innovation. She explains how nations like the UAE and KSA are skipping the current AI battle and aggressively pursuing the next wave: world models, spatial computing, and a race for quantum supremacy. This future-forward approach is fueled by a desire to modernize and diversify beyond oil, with a surprisingly hopeful public narrative about AI's role in creating new jobs. The discussion also hits on the massive $1B seed rounds in AI, the rise of YouTube as the world's largest media company, and the disturbing ethics of using human data (via head-mounted cameras) to train the next generation of robots. Full episode: Cathy Hackl on AI Native Networks, World Models, and the Future of Global Tech Innovation on the AI XR Podcast.

@ethan_cole_ai DM!

@rshereme @NPSusa Meh. They loved the Iraq war too until they didn’t.

I honestly cannot explain this. Before the strikes on Iran, Republican voters were overwhelmingly opposed to U.S. involvement in a conflict between Israel and Iran. A survey by YouGov and The Economist found that only 23% of Republicans supported U.S. military involvement, while 53% opposed it. However, attitudes shifted almost immediately after Trump ordered U.S. airstrikes on Iran. A survey conducted after Trump’s bombing campaign showed support climbing to 85% among Republicans. For me, this rapid reversal illustrates one thing — Trump has transformed the Republican Party into a cult, where people follow not principles, but a man.

The new data moat isn't individual data—it's group dynamics. Teamily AI is focused on how people are connected and work together, a data set large companies don't yet understand. This is a fundamentally different business philosophy. Watch the full episode for the rest of the story. #XR #AI #Metaverse #DataStrategy #AGI

@dustinhollywood That is amazing!

I can’t share details yet.. but my Venice film format.. I’m bringing it to the U.S.!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌 I finished the software last week and already have major partners involved. All you need is a few amazing people around you that support you and the possibilities are endless. ❤️💪

@HawkEmDownChris Eddie Krainpool of the amazing Mets!

Age yourself by naming an MLB first baseman you grew up watching. I’ll start: Albert Pujols.

@BLVCKLIGHTai @escapeaimedia @Diesol 👏👏👏👏

Genuinely speechless. Winning the Alchemist at the first @escapeaimedia Awards last year felt like a dream; I honestly thought it was a fluke. To come back and take home First Place for the Pioneer award at year two is something I'm still processing. Following in @Diesol footsteps as last year's Pioneer recipient is a true honor. That category means something to me. And watching @JunieLauX take the Alchemist this year? *Chef's kiss.* The torch is in the right hands. Congrats to every single winner and nominee. Second moon man secured! 🌛🌛 Thank you to my peers. You see something in my crazy little world that keeps me going and you all inspire me every day. 🖤 #EscapeAwards

Imagine an AI agent that remembers everything about your group chat with friends. 🤯 Forget local memory. Teamily AI's co-founder explains their "cross domain, long horizon memory," which combines human-human and human-AI chat context. This is the key to creating agents that act like true virtual friends in your group chats. Watch the full episode for the rest of the story. #XR #AI #Metaverse #AGI #SocialMedia
