The Deep View

AI is often sold as a utopian story. Unlimited abundance. Endless productivity. A better future for everyone. But behind that narrative is a very different reality, one driven by power, control, and a race that few people fully understand. We went deep on this topic in our first long-form, written by Nat Rubio-Licht. We believe this is one of the most important AI stories published this year.

I'm glad @DemisHassabis put forward such specific recommendations on how to police frontier AI models going forward. I break down his proposals on @TheDeepView. There's been too much fear mongering about AI in 2026 and not enough people putting forward actual proposals and being willing to have them put under the microscope. The world needs creative thinking and bold ideas to start more public dialogue around the future of AI. If we want to see AI take a different trajectory, then it's up to all of us to engage in the dialogue. thedeepview.com/articles/demis…

In the legal complaint filed today, Apple eviscerates OpenAI with a trove of evidence showing an illegal campaign of stealing its trade secrets. It's hard to look at this lawsuit in any other light until OpenAI comes forward to defend itself. thedeepview.com/articles/apple…

GPT-5.6 outperforms Anthropic's latest models on key agentic benchmarks. But the bigger story is putting agents within arm's reach of 1 billion people. Read our analysis from @JasonHiner: thedeepview.com/articles/gpt-5…

This is the kind of journalism you can expect from The Deep View. Senior Reporter @Sabrinaa_Ortiz spent weeks reporting on why Google AI Overviews reveal AI's biggest weakness. It's about how AI shapes what we know, trust, and believe. Must read. thedeepview.com/articles/why-g…

Always a pleasure joining @LeoLaporte and friends on This Week in Tech (@TWiT). We dug into the biggest stories shaping AI and tech right now: what's real, what's hype, and where it's all headed next. Watch the episode: youtube.com/watch?v=DfIvzk…

Time to update @ChatGPTapp on your iPhone. @OpenAI just launched a significant upgrade to voice processing. I use ChatGPT Voice almost every day. I have it assigned to my iPhone Action Button so it's become the fastest way for me to launch a quick chatbot session. Looking forward to the new hands-free "Hey Chat" option as well. @sabrinaa_ortiz dug into what's changing and why it matters: thedeepview.com/articles/how-o…

⚙️New episode: Caroline Ingeborn of @LumaLabsAI In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we sat down with Caroline Ingeborn, COO of Luma, an AI lab dedicated to omnimodal intelligence, to discuss where generalized physical AI could take us. Rather than focusing only on video models, Luma takes an omnimodal, or multimodal, approach, creating models that understand text, video, images and audio. This, said Ingeborn, is because humans don't think in one modality. These kinds of models have many potential use cases and could even help researchers achieve general intelligence. Luma's primary audience right now is the creative industries, such as entertainment, advertising and marketing. Ingeborn said she sees the technology as enhancing the creative experience rather than replacing creative professionals. Topics covered include: +Where AI fits into creative workflows +The ethical lines of AI in creativity +Luma's mission towards generalized physical intelligence +Physical AI's potential impact on the labor market +The different approaches to building world models +The dangers of centralized power in physical AGI If you're following the progress of world models, physical AI and robotics, and the use of AI in creative fields, then this episode offers a deeper look at how these technologies are being used today and the transformative impact they could have in the future. 📺 Watch on YouTube: youtu.be/ISueKJW-uqg 🎧 Listen in your favorite podcast player: transistor.fm/shows/tdv/epis… Subscribe to Deep View Conversations for interviews with the leaders shaping the future of AI, business, and technology: tdv.transitor.fm And don't forget to sign up for The Deep View daily newsletter.

Q&A with Doug Brooks, senior product manager of Apple silicon, about Mac minis becoming preferred AI agent machines, future of on-device AI, and more (@jasonhiner / The Deep View) (Visit Techmeme dot com for the link and full context!)

RT @jasonhiner: Everyone is talking about AI agents. But the bigger long-term story is what comes next: world models. Large language mode…

AI industry heavyweights have changed their minds about LLMs and are lining up behind world models as the path to AGI. @TheDeepView's latest in-depth report from @natrubio__ has the inside story. thedeepview.com/articles/how-w…

More and more, experts are coming to the consensus that world models, or AI that can understand the physical world, are the key to human-level generalized intelligence. But in an industry that's poured billions into betting on models that can only understand language, where does the next frontier lay? For our latest @thedeepview long form, we break down the anatomy of the world model market and discuss how language models may be a stepping stone towards AGI, rather than the endgame. thedeepview.com/articles/how-w…

So many AI tools are Mac-first or Mac-only. It's the result of years of Apple investing in unified memory, neural processing, and vertical integration long before LLMs were a thing. I did an exclusive interview with @Apple's Doug Brooks to learn why. thedeepview.com/articles/how-a…

AI leaders such as @AnthropicAI's @DarioAmodei have long argued a safety pause only works if all labs agree. In June, the US government essentially forced one, at least temporarily. The who and how of future pauses is now a live policy question. thedeepview.com/articles/us-go…

The US government's standoff with Anthropic achieved something the AI industry thought was impossible: a pause in releasing the most powerful frontier models. Will it reset norms and expectations? thedeepview.com/articles/us-go…

Paid partnership: 80% of marketers feel pressure to adopt AI. 6% have it fully embedded. The gap isn't the tools. It's the data you're feeding them. @Supermetrics 2026 Marketing Data Report breaks down what's actually blocking AI ROI in marketing. supermetrics.com/marketing-data…

Reports are saying the @WhiteHouse and @AnthropicAI have agreed to a deal to release #Mythos to a select group of about 100 companies and government agencies. This comes the same day @OpenAI released GPT-5.6 to a select group of organizations, based on a request from the US government to limit access. 🔗 cnbc.com/2026/06/26/us-…

Anthropic releasing Claude Tag marks a bigger shift than you might expect: The shift from AI as a tool to AI as a coworker. Read my latest analysis for @theDeepView thedeepview.com/articles/why-c…

⚙️ New episode: @EvanSpiegel of @Snap. The Snap CEO joins The Deep View Conversations to discuss SPECS, Snap's long-awaited augmented reality glasses and why he believes they represent a new era of computing. Senior reporter @sabrinaa_ortiz interviewed Spiegel at Augmented World Expo immediately after the SPECS unveiling and he explained why Snap spent more than a decade building toward this moment, how SPECS differ from AI smart glasses and mixed reality headsets, and why he sees AR glasses as the future beyond smartphones. Other topics covered include: • Why Snap calls SPECS a "computer" instead of AI glasses • How SPECS combine wearability with advanced spatial computing • The role AI played in making consumer AR glasses viable • Why shared experiences could become AR's killer app • The challenge of competing with Apple, Meta, and other tech giants • Snap's 12-year investment in augmented reality hardware and software • The importance of developers in building the AR ecosystem • Why Spiegel believes people are ready for an alternative to smartphones • How AR glasses could make computing more human Spiegel argues that after nearly two decades of smartphone dominance, consumers are increasingly looking for a more natural way to interact with technology. Snap's bet is that augmented reality glasses can bring computing into the world around us instead of pulling us away from it. 📺 Watch on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=bGA81o… 🎧 Listen in your favorite podcast player: tdv.transistor.fm/episodes/51-wh… Subscribe to Deep View Conversations for interviews with the leaders shaping the future of AI, business, and technology: tdv.transistor.fm And don't forget to sign up for The Deep View daily newsletter.
