The Global AI Divide: AI Is Spreading Fast — But Not Equally
Generative AI use is rising rapidly around the world, but adoption is far from equal. New 2026 data reveals striking differences between countries—and shows why the next phase of the AI revolution may depend as much on access, skills and language as on better models.

This would be all well and good if all generative AI wasn’t explicitly created by stealing troves of writing. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/o...

It's time for Exabyte Games to get a new logo!

We want to show our appreciation for human-crafted artwork. Real thought, discussion, effort and love goes into everything we make, including graphics like this.

We'll never use generative AI for anything creative at Exabyte Games.

I can happily get along without Generative AI.

Before Generative AI, artificial intelligence was primarily analytical, predictive, and rule-based, focused on recognizing patterns, classifying data, and automating specific tasks rather than creating new content. I'd be super happy with just that.

Every day, I make a little more progress on my novel and have generative AI take a first look at it. Today, on a whim, I changed just the opening sentence of the preface—and the evaluation swung dramatically.

China's generative AI users surpass 700 million, report says
(ECNS) -- More than 700 million people in China were using generative artificial intelligence as of mid-2026, with a penetration rate of more than 50%, according to a report released by the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC). The report found that generative AI is rapidly expanding beyond chatbots and search functions, with applications extending across consumer electronics, office productivity, manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare and scientific research. This photo taken on Sept. 4, 2026 shows an artificial intelligence training base in Xiong'an, Hebei Province. (Photo: China News Service) AI becomes part of everyday life AI-powered question answering remains the most common use of generative AI in China, with 76% of users saying they use the technology to get answers to questions. Nearly half, or 47.8%, use it to process images or videos, while 37.6% use it for text-based tasks and 32.5% for work-related tasks such as preparing summaries, meeting minutes and presentations. Use of general-purpose AI assistants and AI productivity tools has also surged, with user access to both types of services increasing by more than 100% year on year, the report said. The growing use of AI is also driving demand for smart devices. Some 38.7% of Chinese internet users...

The orange despot doesn't know what Ai is or the difference between agentic and generative Ai.

As such, any "view" or "opinion" he has is uneducated and unsubstantiated.

Don't read too much into the colorful language, but also I'm talking earlier, with DeepDream of which most generative AI is a pretty direct descendant. And also the fact that, while it wasn't totally atheoretic, the progression has very much been a series of "hunh, that worked".

Like @rkduncan.bsky.social already wrote, AFAIK Pangram isn't generative AI in the same way as ChatGPT. Whether it works well is maybe a separate conversation, but I want to add that many other "detectors" *are* just ChatGPT in a trenchcoat and it's probably important to be able to differentiate
