Computer and information science departments at US colleges saw an exodus of students this fall, with enrollment declining more than 12% for undergraduate programs and more than 10% for graduate programs.

Computer-use agents are reshaping enterprise work beyond individual task automation. Greater software fluency enables AI systems to perform increasingly complex workflows independently.

Computers did to architecture what AI is doing to writers: "When you had to design a building, it was this process of working on paper and sketching things out. It was like art in a way." "At some point, it got computerized. You program it, and out comes your building." "You go to a hotel, and the faucet is in a location that doesn't make any sense. The whole building is designed that way. It's a formula." "People now don't know how to write because they depend on AI. They become lazy." "The whole art of architecture is disintegrating because people don't know how to design and sketch anymore." -Robert Greene

Compute is the lifeblood of the AI boom, and it’s in short supply. Now fights over how to get more of it—and what projects to give priority to—are sending a powerful industry scrambling.

Computer Scientist Jürgen Schmidhuber (@SchmidhuberAI): "there's no way of controlling this AI development — at some point in the not-so-distant future, humans cannot be in charge any longer" The main competitors of these super-smart AIs won't be humans, but other super-smart AIs

Computer scientist Margaret Hamilton passed away at 90 on Sep. 30th. Considered an icon at MIT, she designed the flight software for the Apollo missions to the moon. More on her groundbreaking work: Video v/MAKERS

Compute is the hard currency of AI. At SF Tech Week, we brought together founders and leaders building data centers, power, chips, neoclouds & compute markets for the AIDC Builder Dinner, with @ellazhang516 @Hui_Huangg hosting in person. Thanks to all who made it special ✨
