Hi everyone – welcome to your 3 Shifts Edition [AI-generated audio version].

First, Google’s TurboQuant algorithm is promising to “[reduce] LLM key-value cache memory by at least 6x and delivers up to 8x speedup, all with zero accuracy loss.” That’s a big deal when memory has been the bottleneck for scaling AI.

Next, there’s been a noticeable shift in opinion regarding social media’s use by minors and tech firms’ legal liability. Meta and YouTube lost two significant cases this past week, and if the logic sticks, it could mean a wave of lawsuits and massive financial penalties for social platforms. Some are calling this the “Big Tobacco” moment for social media.

Finally, messaging apps like iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, WeChat, and Slack are becoming natural control planes for AI agents. Claude Code Channels, the latest effort in this arena, is reportedly responsive, stays connected, and has persistent permissions – and is signaling an inflection point for this shift.

Enjoy.
