Big News! My New Audiobook The Intelligence Supernova is Now Live! 🎧 I’m thrilled to announce the release of the audiobook edition of The Intelligence Supernova: Essays on Cybernetic Transhumanism, the Simulation Singularity & the Syntellect Emergence. This project has been incredibly close to my heart—it dives deep into the unfolding convergence of advanced AI, consciousness, and our collective evolution beyond biology. In this book, I explore the concept of the “Intelligence Supernova”—a coming explosion of synthetic and post-biological intelligence that may soon give rise to a planetary-scale mind, the Syntellect. It’s a philosophical and scientific journey that challenges you to imagine what lies beyond the Technological Singularity: digital immortality, mind-uploading, the emergence of infomorphs, and the architecture of a conscious Universe. This audiobook is for futurists, technophilosophers, and all curious minds ready to glimpse humanity’s metamorphic future. If you’re drawn to ideas like cybernetic immortality, experiential realism, or the Omega Point Cosmology, I think you’ll find this work especially meaningful.

Andrew Ng: Building Faster with AI

Andrew Ng on June 17, 2025 at AI Startup School in San Francisco.

Andrew Ng has helped shape some of the most influential movements in modern AI—from online education to deep learning to AI entrepreneurship.

In this talk, he shares what he’s learning now: why execution speed matters more than ever, how agentic workflows are changing what startups can build, and why concreteness beats vagueness when turning ideas into products. He reflects on the rise of AI coding assistants, the shifting bottlenecks in product development, and why, despite faster software, it’s still human judgment and responsibility that will shape what comes next.

Chrome, retire. Perplexity has released its own AI browser, OpenAI — is next in line

AI startups are increasingly encroaching on the territory of tech giants. Currently, Perplexity has launched its own AI browser Comet, and OpenAI is about to release its analog.

Developers who were creating chatbots yesterday are now building full-fledged browsers and openly challenging Google Chrome. This is happening against the backdrop of a rapid increase in the number of search queries via AI assistants — and at the same time drop in traffic to Google. The tech giant itself understands the situation: in recent months Chrome is actively acquiring AI features and the search engine is testing a new AI mode.

Comet is already available for subscribers Perplexity Max ($200/month) and a limited group of users on a waiting list. The browser has a built-in Perplexity AI search engine by default, which generates summaries instead of traditional links. In addition, Comet has a built-in Comet Assistant — an AI agent that automates routine tasks: reads mail, summarizes the calendar, manages tabs, and performs actions for the user on pages. You can call it at any time right on the website — it sees the content and reacts to it.
