The Latest Global Report
Sunday, August 2, 2026
On the issue of global AI/LLM business, it’s easy to fall into the trap of following the meme trails common in the mainstream media.
These include the AI race, the China vs. US AI competition, the many Valley memes about AGI (a fraud), human extinction (not going to happen), the end of the bubble, the beginning of the bigger bubble, loss of all jobs (not likely), universal basic income (nope), FOMO of almost any flavor of the moment, and so on.
In case you haven’t noticed yet, every time we start to see beyond the emperor’s missing clothes, some bespectacled genius in a Valley PR factory invents the next major counter-meme for social media (i.e., the entire world) to chew on instead.
Last week, at a Goldman Sachs forecasting event, I brought up the common conflation of an AI race with a major economic attack; the response suggested that it should be the topic of this week’s Global Report.

Free Issues
With generative models seeing diminishing returns on massive compute scaling, AI’s brightest minds are striking out on their own and going back to the drawing board. This week’s Global Report explores the next generation of approaches, models, and strategies from Yann LeCun, Ilya Sutskever, and Mira Murati.
Agentic AI has become ubiquitous. Meanwhile, the hallucination rates of “reasoning models” have never been higher. In this week’s issue, we explore the future implications of widespread agentic AI deployments across security, personal, and financial platforms.
How a climate of financial instability is driving unprecedented global losses in the insurance and reinsurance industries.
