But does it even matter? Today, Nathaniel breaks down the controversy, debunks some misleading conclusions about reasoning limits, and explains why the business world cares less about semantics and more about capabilities. Whether it's "real reasoning" or not, these tools are transforming work—and Apple's academic skepticism doesn't change that.Get Ad Free AI Daily Brief: https://patreon.com/AIDailyBriefBrought to you by:KPMG – Go to https://kpmg.com/ai to learn more about how KPMG can help you drive value with our AI solutions.Blitzy.com - Go to https://blitzy.com/ to build enterprise software in days, not months AGNTCY - The AGNTCY is an open-source collective dedicated to building the Internet of Agents, enabling AI agents to communicate and collaborate seamlessly across frameworks.

In a new piece of reporting from CoinDesk, however, it appears that many of the claims made about the plant and its impact were simply false. What's more, locals in the area have had their voices almost entirely ignored. Thanks to our sponsor: In Wolf's Clothing // Wolf is the first startup accelerator f...
