Velocity over speed: why the AI race has already failed
We are confusing motion with progress. In physics, this mistake has a name: speed without direction. In civilisation, it has a cost.
Everyone’s talking about the “AI race.”
But where exactly are we racing to?
Speed without direction isn’t progress, it’s motion in circles.
I wrote about why the AI race has already failed, and why velocity matters more than speed. medium.com/@pat-bertini...

ChatGPT ads are coming, OpenAI leak suggests
CEO Sam Altman once described ads as a ‘last resort’
If ChatGPT recommended a hotel, would you know if it was genuine or sponsored?

Figma sued for allegedly misusing customer data for AI training
Design software company Figma was hit with a proposed class action in California federal court on Friday for allegedly misusing its customers' designs to train artificial intelligence models.
Heads-up to all Figma users!
Figma is reportedly sued for allegedly using customers’ designs for AI training without clear consent. If true, it’s a serious reminder: before adding AI-driven features, ensure data use is opt-in, transparent, and clients are informed.

So, I am trying to quantify which percentage of existing AI systems (high-rish and medium-risk) can be conveniently retrofitted.
For many legacy systems, the cost of retrofitting would exceed the cost of replacement. And yet, none is taking the AI Act requirements seriously enough!
