Lattice CEO Sarah Franklin told Futurism that company leaders are under enormous pressure to spend on AI — even when the returns aren’t there. “There is a massive bubble,” Franklin said.

The changes, detailed in a recent Digital Trends report, target the Android Runtime (ART), the engine responsible for executing every app on your phone. This matters more than

Dario Amodei doesn’t hedge much anymore. In a sprawling conversation with Dwarkesh Patel on The Dwarkesh Podcast, the Anthropic CEO laid out his thinking on when artificial general intelligence arrives, what happens after, and why he believes the safety problem is still fundamentally unsolved — even as his company races to build increasingly powerful systems.

The internet feels off. Not broken exactly, but hollow — like walking through a shopping mall where half the storefronts are staffed by mannequins. Adrian Krebs, a Swiss software engineer and founder, recently published a detailed examination of what’s been called the Dead Internet Theory, and his argument is uncomfortably persuasive: the web as we
