Another weekend substack - tonycurzonprice.substack.com/p/google-has...

Can the tired old incumbent cut off the (good) possible future that GenAI opens up? Perhaps. Antitrust authorities should do their bit to avert the danger.

My substack this week was inspired by Geoffrey Hinton's masterful, funny and worrying lecture at the Royal Institution in July. The lecture suggests the forces pulling to great concentrations of power in LLM labs are strong. But there are ways to resist.

I'm back on the Substack after a busy month of June...

My new post about a week in data/tech policy - this one about why we should be worried at the LLMs getting personal, and what we can do about it.https://tonycurzonprice.substack.com/p/charlie-chaplin-simone-weil-black

I've been wanting to write about Trump's view of the world as being shaped by how you run luxury hotels. It turns out to be closely linked to how you run platforms. Hence a link between his tariff mindset and the Vance/Silicon Valley "hands off my platform" mindset.

Don't often find myself agreeing with this guy, but here I do. People donated time, data, skills, $s in the belief it would remain a non-profit. I have no idea of the law, but I hope he wins. A profit-seeking shareholder controlled LLM is a very different beast from a purpose-driven one.

Very pleased to release - slowly - into the wild version 1.0 of The Graeme Game - graeme.metakarma.org .

Would love to know how you get on.

(A game can be over in minutes; you need one other human to play with; you are playing against the machine to prove our common humanity).

I had some great conversations over the weekend at the Cosmos Institute symposium, especially, on the topic below, with @Gigi Danziger & @albertwenger.bsky.social . I had to write up the learnings for me... "How does enshittification come to LLMs and how to stop it?"

First post in the new place.

Seems appropriate to make it a screenshot from this morning ... adding
@pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy 's vocab to my personal dictionary in google Docs seems like a moment to memorialise.
