"AI agents are being integrated into people's lives before anyone has built the infrastructure to truly hold them accountable. There's growing gap between what these systems can do and what people affected by them are able to understand." —Anya Svan at Stanford #tsrconf

I’m at Stanford today and tomorrow learning from researchers from all over the world about what they are learning about AI safety, ethics, and governance. #tsrconf

"Instead of asking only whether a model is aligned, we should also ask how controllable is it for the actor responsible for deploying it." —Renata Barreto, eBay safety team, at the Stanford Trust & Safety Research Conference (#trsconf)

So OpenAI DevDay 2026 happened today and we had questions (at the press conference with Tibo, Sam, and Alex). Check out tomorrow morning’s edition of The Deep View for our perspective.

I wrote a commentary on AI's pacing problem, and the factor that's holding back true progress. The dialogue has gotten trapped in the same doom loop that's scuppering so many of today's most pressing issues: polarization. Here's my full article: www.thedeepview.com/articles/wh...

"I think you see a real fear that some of these companies developing AI could get too much power and be able to sort of exert undue influence on the economy and push a worldview. And I think the world is right to be afraid of this." —Sam Altman at #Dreamforce #DF26

Funny to see Google take a little jab about its camera bar: "It's so iconic that people are starting to copy us a little bit there." Of course it's talking about Apple's iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. #MadebyGoogle

Still reflecting on the remarkable life of Om Malik since his recent passing. Loved the new set of quotes and stories John Gruber shared on Daring Fireball. (Thanks for including me.) We can all learn from the tenacity and the humanity of Om Malik. daringfireball.net/2026/07/exa...

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. www.thedeepview.com/articles/ho...

Moved by such thoughtful posts about Om Malik's passing this week, here's my favorite Om story. He struggled mightily to get his big break in tech journalism. He once told me "For three years, it was every day a rejection." Here's how he broke through. www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-o...

Apple's Mike Rockwell is doing a live demo of Siri AI for the media. Live demos are always dangerous, but even more so with non-deterministic systems. This one worked perfectly, it was relatively quick and the information that it produced was right on target.

And now Apple’s Craig Federighi is deep diving on the technicals, the architecture, and the security and safety of Siri and Apple Intelligence for some members of the media, and taking some questions.
