MIT Technology Review's recurring AI Hype Index column takes a sardonic look at recent AI-adjacent news, covering Grok's content moderation issues, Meta's smart glasses features, Big Tech's rising energy emissions, and a light human-interest item about AI-sector bonuses in South Korea. The piece is editorial and cultural rather than analytical, and contains no policy, governance, or technical substance relevant to APS practitioners.
