Welcome to the AI Rollup, your weekly ride through the fast-paced world of artificial intelligence! This week, we’re joined by frontier tech enthusiast Josh Kale to unpack the drama around Meta’s controversial launch of Llama 4, scrutinized for potentially overstating its capabilities. We dive into “AI 2027,” a provocative roadmap predicting espionage, geopolitical turmoil, and runaway intelligence, and explore Shopify’s bold move making AI usage mandatory for employees. Plus, we cover Claude Education’s groundbreaking efforts to boost student performance with tailored AI tutors and a16z’s massive $20 billion AI startup fund aiming to shape the industry’s next era. ------ 🪙FRAX | SELF SUFFICIENT DeFi https://bankless.cc/Frax 🦄UNISWAP | SWAP ON UNICHAIN https://bankless.cc/unichain 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle 🌐SELF | PROVE YOUR SELF https://bankless.cc/Self 🏦INFINEX | THE CRYPTO-EVERYTHING APP https://bankless.cc/Infinex ------ TIMESTAMPS & RESOURCES 00:00:00 AI Generated Tarriff’s 00:03:58 Meta’s Huge New LLAMA 4 Announcement https://x.com/ahmad_al_dahle/status/1908595680828154198?s=46 https://x.com/alexocheema/status/1908651942777397737?s=46 00:11:54 Did Meta Cheat? https://x.com/Yuchenj_UW/status/1909061004207816960 https://x.com/andrewallenxo/status/1909143884321481157 https://x.com/ahmad_al_dahle/status/1909302532306092107?s=46 https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/4mvphwx5pdsZLMmpY/recent-ai-model-progress-feels-mostly-like-b******t 00:20:45 AGI Is Coming in 2027 https://ai-2027.com/ https://situational-awareness.ai/ 00:28:02 What Happens After AGI https://ai-2027.com/ https://situational-awareness.ai/ 00:39:58 Shopify And The Employment Crisis https://x.com/tobi/status/1909251946235437514 00:48:34 The Future Of Education https://www.anthropic.com/news/introducing-claude-for-education https://x.com/jowettbrendan/status/1907695965726978184 https://x.com/cryptopunk7213/status/1907969387958513727 https://x.com/itsPaulAi/status/1907122207136137368 https://www.foxnews.com/media/texas-private-schools-use-ai-tutor-rockets-student-test-scores-top-2-country 00:59:55 How Much Does AI Know About You 01:04:58 A16Z’s $30B Fund https://x.com/tkexpress11/status/1909626333711548526 https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/andreessen-horowitz-seeks-raise-20-billion-megafund-amid-global-interest-us-ai-2025-04-08/ ------ Not financial or tax advice.
