AI execs confirm demand isn't slowing, just shifting AI execs confirm demand isn't slowing, just shifting ALSO: How to design anything with Canva in Claude Design Jul 14, 2026 Welcome back, Superhuman. The days of "tokenmaxxing" might officially be over as companies pivot to "valuemaxxing" — slang for squeezing more ROI from their AI spend. Two executives just confirmed this shift, but agreed it hasn’t slowed overall demand for AI tools. Plus, Anthropic secured another high-profile hire. Today: TSMC’s revenue soars, how to design anything with Canva in Claude Design, and get the latest prompts and trending social posts. Read quotes from AI executives on AI demand. Source: CNBC. 1. AI executives confirm AI demand shows no sign of slowing, even as the race pivots to value: Companies are starting to get more cautious about how much they spend on AI, but that hasn’t slowed demand. Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger told CNBC that AI demand is "almost unlimited,” while Marc Boroditsky, CRO of AI infrastructure firm Nebius, echoed the point, saying there’s “much more demand than we’re able to fill.” 2. Anthropic lands another high-profile hire: Tom Blomfield announced he’s leaving Y Combinator to join Anthropic’s AI compute team. It’s the latest notable pickup for Anthropic, with Blomfield joining Nobel laureate John Jumper, OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy, UC Berkeley professor Jelani Nelson, and former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, who joined the lab’s independent oversight board. 3. TSMC's June revenue rockets 68% as the AI-chip boom rolls on: The world's largest contract chipmaker posted its highest-ever monthly revenue in June, ending its second quarter at $39.6 billion. The strong results signal that demand for AI components is still tight. TSMC is sold out of N3, the process node behind this year's leading AI GPUs and CPUs, and is adding two new plants in southern Taiwan to keep up with demand.

AI pushback is reaching a breaking point as 200+ economists demand change Made with Midjourney Demanding change. Over200 economists, including 16 Nobel laureates, have signed “We Must Act Now,” a statement urging governments to steer AI in a direction that benefits humanity broadly. The public seems to agree: a recent Verasight survey found that 60% of respondents feel anxious about AI’s rise, with that same survey surfacing several popular solutions. Popular reforms. Verasight’s respondents want oversight. 89% of respondents support requiring frontier labs to publicly disclose safety-testing results, and 81% want the government to block potentially dangerous models before release. Another idea gaining traction? A sovereign wealth fund. 69% favored forcing AI firms to hand over equity stakes that would distribute AI's gains broadly. How would it work? In theory, a fund would fill three main roles: steering AI development at the national level, taking equity stakes in new companies, and converting private-sector wealth creation into public revenue to fund social safety nets. At least one AI lab isn’t opposed to the idea. The reforms already taking shape. OpenAI already proposed letting the US government take a 5% stake earlier this month, and the US government reviewed both Anthropic and OpenAI’s most powerful models prior to release. The gap between what people want and what’s happening is starting to close — but expect this issue to continue escalating over the coming months. How to design anything with Canva in Claude Design

ChatGPT Image 2.0: High-detail 8K split-style composition where the subject is divided vertically into two halves.
LEFT SIDE:Keep the original photo fully realistic. Preserve natural lighting, textures, and details. Slightly enhance sharpness and clarity. Add subtle hand-drawn doodle outlines (soft pastel or neon lines) around the subject for a creative aura.
RIGHT SIDE:Transform the same subject into a stylized cartoon/digital illustration. Maintain the exact same pose, angle, and facial expression. Use clean lineart, soft shading, and pastel or vibrant colors in a modern cute style (chibi / semi-realistic). Add small decorative elements like sticker-style doodles, cute icons, or mini characters floating around.
BACKGROUND (IMPORTANT):Keep the ORIGINAL background unchanged on BOTH sides. Do not replace, redraw, or stylize the background. Maintain consistency across the entire image.
CENTER DIVISION:Add a vertical torn-paper or glitch-style transition separating the realistic and illustrated halves.
STYLE:modern digital art, clean composition, soft lighting, aesthetically pleasing, social media style
QUALITY: 8K resolution, ultra-detailed. --ar 3:4
