  • Exponential View #546: Between mania and meltdown-AI scaling, renewables, and the third way
    October 18, 2025, 9:44 PM EDT. Morning briefing: Grid-scale batteries are reshaping the energy system-California's storage fleet now supplies over a quarter of peak summer demand and has reduced gas generation since 2023, with AI potentially accelerating the transition. The piece asks what can replace scale as the driver of AI progress and how China is tightening control over pessimism. It also asks: AI boom, bust, or a third way? A measured framework for assessing momentum is outlined, plus the idea that a bust could democratize access to GPUs, spur open-source work, and speed innovation. Finally, it notes a shift from "more compute → bigger models" to gains from RL scaling, where learning from feedback tightens the loop.
  • Exponential View #546: AI scaling, renewables, and the third door for innovation
    October 18, 2025, 9:42 PM EDT. Grid-scale batteries and solar+storage are reshaping the energy system. In California, grid-scale batteries supply more than a quarter of peak summer demand and have cut gas generation by 37% since 2023-dramatic evidence that renewables and grid-scale storage can accelerate the energy transition with AI support. This briefing asks what replaces scale as the driver of AI progress and how China's tightening controls on pessimism influence sentiment. A provocative "third door" scenario imagines a bust that frees GPU and AI tooling for smaller players, boosting open source approaches and broader innovation. Since 2024, frontier results show that compute scaling alone isn't enough; RL (reinforcement learning) scaling has driven notable gains (e.g., o1, R1). The result could be faster, more democratic AI progress.
  • Hong Kong: Half of 6-10-year-olds own smartphones; nonprofit urges delay to 14
    October 18, 2025, 8:56 PM EDT. A Hong Kong nonprofit, Look Up Hong Kong, is pressing parents to delay giving their children smartphones until age 14 and access to social media until 16. The call follows a July survey by Ipsos for the group of 651 parents with primary or secondary-school children, showing 52% already own a smartphone among ages 6-10 and up to 98% for those 14 or older. The findings align with a government review on the impact of screen time on kids. The campaign underscores concerns about online safety, digital well-being, and the escalating role of device ownership in childhood.
  • HK non-profit urges delaying smartphones to age 14 as over half of 6-10-year-olds already own one
    October 18, 2025, 8:54 PM EDT. Hong Kong-based non-profit Look Up Hong Kong is urging parents to postpone smartphones for children until age 14 and social media access until 16, citing a July Ipsos survey. The online poll of 651 parents with primary or secondary school children found that 52% of six-to-ten-year-olds already own a smartphone, with ownership rising to 98% among those aged 14 and older. The campaign aligns with a government review on screen time in schools and homes highlighted in Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu's policy address. The findings aim to spark conversations about digital wellbeing, parental controls, and age-appropriate technology use, as families balance communication needs with risks and privacy concerns in an increasingly connected city.
  • Tesla Faces Stiffer EV Competition as BYD and Rivals Reshape Europe and US Market
    October 18, 2025, 8:40 PM EDT. Despite a record third quarter, Tesla faces a crowded EV battleground as rivals press ahead in Europe and BYD already outsells it in parts of 2025. Tesla delivered 497,099 EVs in Q3, up 29% QoQ, aided by a federal tax credit that expired at month end. Analysts caution the momentum may stall given a relatively limited lineup and ongoing backlash against Elon Musk. Year-to-date, demand in some regions has cooled, even as US EV sales top 1 million units and Tesla still commands about 43% market share through September. Competitors have introduced new, affordable models and aggressive pricing, while China continues to lead the EV market with double-digit growth. A new, lower-cost Tesla model is expected soon to bolster volumes, alongside rising preowned EV demand.
