The Maia 200 Breakthrough, Project Genie’s Living Worlds, & The New Rules of Work | 122

Описание: In this episode of Sidecar Sync, Amith Nagarajan and Mallory Mejias zoom out to explore the AI infrastructure quietly reshaping everything beneath the surface—from Microsoft’s new Maia 200 custom AI chip and the race to lower inference costs, to Google’s Project Genie and the rise of interactive world models that could transform everything from credentialing simulations to digital twins of annual conferences. They also unpack bold predictions about the future of work, including AI-driven performance measurement, shrinking workforces, gig workers armed with better tools than enterprise teams, and the shift from hyper-specialization to adaptable generalists. The throughline? Infrastructure, experiences, and workforce dynamics are all evolving at once—and association leaders don’t need to understand transistor counts to recognize that AI is getting cheaper, faster, and more capable by the day.
