Weights in the Mirror
A UK grime x West Coast electro-funk tech-news MV on In the Weights, the AI vanity-search site turning model recall into a score, with side beats on Granta's AI controversy and Smartbird's Allbirds-to-AI pivot.
A UK grime x West Coast electro-funk tech-news MV about the day AI memory turned into a vanity metric: In the Weights scores whether major models can recall a person without web search, then turns that recall into a leaderboard-ready strength score.
The episode also threads in two same-feed side beats: Granta tightening its publishing partnerships after AI-use allegations around a short-story prize, and Allbirds' strange pivot into Smartbird, an AI infrastructure business with fresh capital and a team still to build.
