The most recent came from Digit Times, but I started to suspect it had missed its original predicted launch at Computex this year when it didn't show up at Computex this year. According to supply chain sources cited by Digit Times, the delay is related to Microsoft's roadmap for their nextG OS being slower than expected. Presumably, NVIDIA wouldn't want to launch a fancy new chip that doesn't work well with Windows 12, or as Microsoft is more likely to brand it, Windows 11 Copilot AI Plus 365 C-Pilot. Now, this reason for the delay clashes slightly with the one given in previous reports from notoriously semi-accurate and self-aware rumor outlet Semia accurate, whose sources apparently pointed to NVIDIA having issues with the hardware design. Honestly, they could both be right. While Qualcomm's Snapdragon X laptop chips are impressive hardware-wise, Microsoft's inability to implement as graceful of a solution as Apple's Rosetta 2 during their ARM transition has remained the biggest obstacle to Windows on ARM adoption, which may be why after first launching a line of ARMPowered surfaces, Microsoft added Intel versions, including the justannounced Surface Laptop 5G, which true enough doesn't have any ARMs at all. Now, I've seen the comments about not wanting so much AI news, and I hear you. But this story might affect all of us. So, let me do this one, and then I'll never say the words AI again. I promise. The Trump administration has released its AI action plan, a wide-ranging set of recommendations that calls for less AI regulation and more allocation of energy and resources to accelerate AI development and compete with China. The new action plan replaces the Biden administration's executive order on AI, which mandated that AI companies adhere to safety requirements and provide regular transparency reports in case one of their AIs becomes conscious and eats a researcher. You know, like should probably be required to let us know about that. And while the 10-year moratorum on states passing their own AI laws was removed from the big beautiful bill before it passed, the new action plan calls for federal agencies to limit AI related funding to states with burdensome AI regulations. But it also notes that states can pass AI rules that aren't unduly restrictive to innovation. Very gracious, Sia. Thank you. We'll be careful. Now, to be fair, several recommendations in the action plan will, if carried out, benefit useful applications of AI, like tools to help with diagnosing medical issues and figuring out what ancient Romans were squiggling to each other while passing notes in class. Socrates sickidiosum. But calling for less oversight on AI development is coming at a weird time. The plan was announced a day after Sam Alman predicted an AI voice-driven banking fraud crisis at a Federal Reserve event and the publication of multiple concerning AI papers. One of them from a joint research group details the issue of subliminal learning. Basically, the researchers fine-tuned a model to have a preference for owls and then had that model generate a set of three-digit numbers and nothing else. then fine-tuned another model using that number set. It was just numbers. And when asked for its favorite animal, that second model, which had answered dolphin previously, also said it likes owls. Now replace owls with blackmail. And maybe you see the problem here. As explained by one of the researchers, this means that predelections towards recommending the eating of glue and solving all of your problems with murder are harder to filter out of AI models than we thought. And to top it all off, another paper was published yesterday by 40 researchers from OpenAI, Google, Metaanthropic, and elsewhere, warning that as AI development continues, it may become harder to understand these models inner workings, not easier in some dimensions at least.
