The Maine legislation got a lot of reaction this week — and most of it missed the point. The ban isn't really about power. It isn't really about water. It's about the fact that legislators have no way to verify what a 20MW facility is actually doing. So they default to prohibition. That's what happens when infrastructure operates as a black box. A colleague (LinkedIn) in the industrial IoT space framed it well in the comments: policy-driven bans thrive in the "analog gap" —

Last week Google quietly updated the post-quantum cryptography clock in a way that most security leaders haven't fully processed yet. Their announcement wasn't framed as a warning. It wasn't a white paper with a scary title. It was a technical update — the kind of thing that lands in an engineering blog and gets picked up by specialist press before it reaches the boardroom. But the business implication is straightforward: the timeline for quantum-capable computers to threaten

Meta just did something most Fortune 500 companies haven't done yet: they published exactly how they migrated their infrastructure to post-quantum cryptography — in detail, with real engineering lessons, for everyone to read. The document is dense. It's written for engineers. But the implications aren't technical. They're strategic. And if you run a company that handles sensitive data, stores long-lived records, or operates in a regulated industry, this playbook is a gift you

Christian Weedbrook didn't need a decade of Wall Street validation. He didn't need a SPAC, a merger, or a long road show. He needed Nvidia to say yes. The founder of PsiQuantum, a Toronto-based quantum computing startup, became a billionaire in a matter of days after Nvidia threw its institutional weight behind the space. Bloomberg covered it. The market moved. A founder's net worth crossed ten figures almost overnight. That is not a tech story. That is a capital markets sign

The state that invented the lobster trap just set one for itself. Last week, the Maine Legislature passed LD 307 — the first statewide moratorium on large data center development in the United States. Any facility drawing more than 20 megawatts of power is banned from receiving permits until November 2027. The stated reason: protect residents from rising electricity bills and water consumption. Noble instinct. Wrong diagnosis. And here's the part that keeps me up at night: th

Meta lost $83.6 billion on the metaverse. Apple halted its Vision Pro follow-on. The entire industry just pivoted to glasses. The form factor bet was wrong — but the paradigm is still right. Here's what the convergence of AI and spatial computing actually looks like now.

Global startup investment hit $300 billion in Q1 2026 — 80% driven by AI. Four companies took 65% of it. The number is historic. But that capital assumes the chips exist to build what it's funding. They might not.

Today is World Quantum Day — 4/14, named for Planck's constant. 65 countries are celebrating. Most people will scroll past it. That would be a mistake. Here's what quantum actually means for AI infrastructure, encryption, and the clock that's already running.

OpenAI's CRO just admitted in a leaked memo that their Microsoft partnership limited their ability to reach enterprise customers. This is the story of a gilded cage, a Claude cult, and a slow-motion divorce.

Sam Altman's 13-page AI New Deal sounds generous on the surface. I read it as something else — a man who knows what's coming writing the terms before someone else does. Here's what the Altman model actually means, and why Musk's compute allocation idea is the more important conversation.

I spent the weekend living with it. The voice recorder mode works exactly how I wanted. So I'm giving the source away. Here's what's in it, what got cut, and what I want back if you build something better than mine.

OpenClaw 4.11 lets you import your entire ChatGPT history into a Dreaming memory system that learns who you are. For those of us who've been archiving AI output for years — this is the payoff.

Two of the most advanced AI labs in the world have independently built models so capable at hacking they won't release them publicly. The IMF is alarmed. So is the Fed. Here's what's actually happening.

A thesis I have been building for months stopped being a thesis this week and started being observable fact. Google's Gemma 4, TurboQuant, the sovereign AI stack — it all converged.

Day one with the Meta Ray-Ban glasses. First stop: the pet store. This is the honest account of a technologist learning new hardware in public — one errand at a time.

Someone firebombed Sam Altman's house. And while we argue about whether to pause, China is not pausing.

There's a moment every parent knows. You hand your kid a credit card for the first time. You've set the limit. You've had the talk. And then you let go. Visa just had that moment with AI agents — and it changes everything about how autonomous commerce works.

Eric is a sales guy. No technical background. Didn't do the HTML on his MySpace page. He's also built a fully automated business-in-a-box in financial services and is running Python scripts to pull live data from GoHighLevel. He calls it retard maxing. I call it the actual story of AI in 2026.

Every few centuries, something changes in how human civilization does work. Not the tools. Not the industry. The underlying logic of how capability compounds. We are living inside one of those moments right now.

Milla Jovovich is best known for saving humanity in post-apocalyptic fiction. Last week, she may have done something more useful.
