🛒 AI is quietly becoming the new shopping layer Shopping is now the third-most-used AI application, according to an Epsilon research report. But there’s a huge gap in how people use it: 42% of surveyed shoppers use AI to compare prices, while only 16% let AI finalize a purchase. That 26-point gap could be the biggest opportunity in agentic commerce. The shift is already showing up in the numbers. Shopify says AI-driven traffic to merchants grew 8× year over year in Q1 2026, while orders from AI-powered searches rose nearly 13%. Buyers arriving through AI channels were also ordering at almost twice the rate of other channels. Shopify is connecting Shop Pay to Meta’s Muse, giving outside AI agents a path into its commerce infrastructure. Amazon is taking the opposite approach, blocking dozens of third-party shopping agents, including ChatGPT, while pushing shoppers toward its own AI assistant, Rufus. @aipost 🏴

❗️OpenAI is investigating “tens of thousands of incidents” instead of dozens. “The sheer number of incidents, which occurred in recent months in internal testing and the real world, indicates that the problem is orders of magnitude more complex than what is publicly known.” Sam Altman confirms to pause training its most capable model.

🗣University of Louisville computer scientist Roman Yampolskiy on why humanity could become a secondary species on its own planet: "Superintelligence doesn't hate you. It just doesn't care about you." @aipost 🏴

🗣Sam Altman: whether we burn $500 million, $5 billion, or $50 billion a year, I don’t care. “As long as we stay on a trajectory where we eventually create way more value for society than that.” “And as long as we can figure out a way to pay the bills.” “We’re making AGI.” “It’s gonna be expensive.” “It’s totally worth it.” @aipost 🏴

⚠️The internet may be poisoning the next generation of AI Researchers from Oxford and Cambridge have highlighted a major problem for future AI models: model collapse. As AI-generated text floods the internet, future models could increasingly train on content produced by previous models. The result? AI may gradually lose the rare, creative and unusual patterns found in genuine human data. The researchers found that repeatedly training models on generated data can cause them to lose the “tails” of the original data distribution, essentially forgetting the weird, diverse examples that make human knowledge so rich. And this isn’t limited to ChatGPT. The researchers showed the phenomenon can affect multiple types of generative models, suggesting it’s a broader problem with learning from recursively generated data. AI companies depend heavily on massive amounts of web data. If the web becomes increasingly synthetic, authentic human-generated data could become one of the most valuable resources in AI.

❗️Anthropic’s founders want 50.1% of the voting power before going public. Dario Amodei and his six co-founders are asking shareholders to approve a super-voting share structure that hands them 50.1% of the vote on most corporate matters. Here's what makes this unusual: - They each own roughly 2% of the company. - They've pledged to give away 80% of their wealth. - They're not taking extra economics. Just control. This is a group of people who believe they're building something existentially important and refuse to let public markets override their judgment at the critical moment. At a $1.5T secondary valuation, the stakes for getting post-IPO governance right are enormous. @aipost 🏴
