Headlines about the wonders of AI aren’t slowing down. But beneath the hype, the signals are changing.

Data centers are being canceled. Chips are running short. And some of the assumptions behind the LLM boom are facing serious blowback.

At today’s virtual Spark salon, we’re asking: What signs are showing a turn of the tides, and what happens next?

Using Mark Anderson’s latest SNS Global Report, “THE BIG PIVOT: Sudden Reversals in Global Tech,” as our jumping-off point, we’ll explore what’s changing – and what the headlines may be missing.

What are you seeing? We’d love to hear your take.

This week in the SNS Global Report…
Mark Anderson examines the forces behind the AI boom and the sudden reversals now reshaping the global technology landscape. From LLMs and hyperscaling to chips, data centers, and the growing challenges facing the industry, the assumptions that fueled the boom are being put to the test.

See why Mark says: “The choice of OpenAI, and LLMs as a technology, with all that followed, was broken from the very start. What do you get when you hyperscale a broken technology? It doesn’t work.” In this week's Global Report: "THE BIG PIVOT: Sudden Reversals in Global Tech.”

The LLM Boom Hits a Turning Point

The headlines around LLMs show no signs of slowing down, but beneath the hype, some very different signals are emerging.

Data centers are being canceled. Chips are running short. Public frustration with the leaders of the LLM industry is growing. And the assumptions that fueled the AI boom are starting to face some serious questions.

This Thursday, we’re bringing the conversation to Spark, a virtual SNS salon.

Our editorial team selected Mark Anderson’s recent SNS Global Report “THE BIG PIVOT: Sudden Reversals in Global Tech” as the jumping-off point for a discussion about what comes next and whether the LLM fantasy is finally losing its grip.

We’ve heard your questions and reactions, and now we want to dig into them together.

What are you seeing that the headlines are missing?

Bring your questions, ideas, and observations.

This week in the SNS Global Report …
Evan Anderson dives into why we are engulfed in flames, from the wildlands of the western United States to the rolling vineyards of Provence, and what we can do to attempt adaptation in the face of such fury.

See why Evan says: “Get political. Wildfires aren’t funny. Climate inaction isn’t cool. We are way past that. Vote about it. Advocate about it. Time to stop lying to ourselves. This is a matter of life and death." In this week's Global Report: "WORLD ON FIRE: The Age of the Inferno and What We Can Do About It.”

This week in the SNS Global Report …
Mark Anderson tackles the mainstream meme that conflates the AI race with a major economic attack.

See why Mark says: “Keep in mind: for the grand plan here, China doesn’t have a requirement to make money, be profitable, or otherwise make short-term economic sense; its goal is economic domination over the long term." In this week's Global Report: "CONFLATING AN AI RACE WITH A MASSIVE ECONOMIC ATTACK.”
