An ‘AI Bubble’? What Altman Actually said, the Facts and Nano Banana

To sum, the release a few hours ago of the Google image editing upgrade, codenamed Nano Banana, will already be proof we're not in an AI bubble. You can see the mostly accurate new shadows and the attention to detail, like the little metal parts on the bench. In the AI studio, though, I asked for one flipper against its head holding an iPhone, and things weren't quite as good. You could say it's a true Photoshop replacement if you don't look too closely.

We'll get to whether CEOs like Sam Orman actually understand their tools or can be trusted in their statements. But let's first have some context about his observation of investor over excitement. You've got to remember that Samman's former chief scientist at OpenAI fired Sam Orman. His name is Ilas Suskava.

Then left to form Safe Super Intelligence valued at $32 billion with no product. Maybe that's why Samman thinks there's investor over excitement. Then there's Samman's former CTO, Mera Mirati, who was his brief replacement as CEO when he got fired, ...
