ChatGPT’s $8 Trillion Birthday Gift to Big Tech Two years in, generative AI’s value to the world is still unclear. But these charts show that it’s been a bonanza for the largest tech firms.

Two years in, ChatGPT's real benefit to humanity is still unclear -- but it's been an absolute bonanza for Big Tech.

GenAI hype has added $8 TRILLION to their market capitalizations since ChatGPT's launch.

These charts show all the ways money has flowed to tech giants and others in their orbit.

Question for anyone in the UK with kids under 13 who use TikTok: have they been booted off the platform? How are they reacting? TikTok is apparently removing under-13's from the app to comply with the UK's Online Safety Act and I'd love to hear how that's working out for kids and parents.

Tim Berners-Lee Wants the Internet Back The inventor of the World Wide Web is on a laudable mission to give everyone control of their online data. He’s fighting an uphill battle.

Great look by @parmy.bsky.social on Tim Berners-Lee's crusade to give us all our own digital wallets, where we control who sees what. Pray, and work, for its success. But Big Tech can't profit from what it can't control www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti... via @opinion.bsky.social
