When Jeff Bezos left Washington, it cost the state a billion dollars a year in taxes. All because of an illegal capital gains tax that brings in less than half of that.

Smart Metrics Shape Behavior in the Enterprise
By

Smart metrics don't just measure performance, they shape behavior. If we're deploying #AI across the enterprise, we need guardrails against metric gaming from day one. Governance isn't a brake on innovation, it's what makes transformation durable. Especially as agentic systems

Incredible AI engineering, but also something I kinda wish I hadn't learned about: > Swarm Bio-tactics wired real cockroaches with electronic backpacks containing AI hardware, radios, cameras, and microphones. > Cockroaches are steered by sending electrical signals directly into the insect's nervous system > They can crawl through rubble, tunnels, and spaces where drones can't fly, and troops shouldn't go, transmitting data back the entire time. > Within one year, they went from concept to field-validated systems with paying NATO customers, including the German military. The qualities that make them useful for military recon (small, silent, nearly undetectable) are exactly what make them creepy. …International laws weren't written with cyborg insects in mind.

He calls it a cake. I call it a pyramid. His cake is about how Intelligence gets built. My pyramid is about how it gets built …but also… https://t.co/Wcyk0yXFthOn Jensen Huang's 'AI as a 5-layer cake.'
