Day fifteen with the glasses....First mod was a little plastic cover I bought off Amazon — snaps over the recording LED on the frame. The light is obnoxious. It flashes when you’re recording, which is the point, but it also changes the energy of whatever you’re filming and blinks in your peripheral vision like a tiny alarm clock you can’t turn off. Cover goes on, problem solved. There’s a sensor behind it that detects the cover and disables recording if you block it wrong, so

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.

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.

Nvidia, Tesla, xAI, and SpaceX aren't competing with each other. They're assembling a vertical stack from silicon to space. Here's what that means — and where the real bottleneck still lives.

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.

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.

I didn't plan to be awake at 4am last night. But I never do. I downloaded Google AI Edge Gallery on my iPhone and the next time I looked up it was past 4 in the morning.

Google dropped Gemma 4 — four open-source models, Apache 2.0, running locally on consumer hardware, ranking #3 in the world. The open source agent community wired it into OpenClaw within hours. Here's why this changes everything.

Three days ago, Anthropic pulled the plug on OpenClaw. This morning, OpenClaw shipped native video and music generation. And Apple is about to show us what it looks like when you build the same orchestration layer on 1.5 billion devices.

There's a specific kind of madness that lives inside people who build things. It kicks in the moment something actually works.

A vibe coding app made a commercial that looks more like Apple than Apple does. Then Apple pulled it from the App Store. The internet noticed.

I just wanted to see if I could build a wearable AI interface from scratch. Turns out I could. Meet the ARIA Node — and the moment my AI rewrote its own hardware interface.

Someone sent me a video this week and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it (or laughing). Watch it first. I'll wait: The premise: retardmaxxing . The act of not caring, not overthinking, and simply doing. The guy explains it with a bell curve. Far left: the actual idiot — blissfully happy, lives entirely in the moment. Far right: the overthinker — drowning in analysis, philosophizing himself into paralysis, technically brilliant, practically useless. At the peak: t

Today is April 1, 1976. In a garage in Los Altos, California, three people sign a document and start a company. Steve Jobs. Steve Wozniak. Ronald Wayne. The company is called Apple Computer. The first product is a circuit board hand-assembled by Woz on his workbench. No case. No keyboard included. No operating system manual. Just raw silicon and a vision that most people at the time would have called laughable.They incorporated on April Fools' Day — which, fifty years later,

There are decisions in life you make alone. And then there are decisions — the real ones — where you know better than to act without counsel. I needed new glasses. Not just any glasses. Meta glasses. The ones with the AI built in. The ones that are either the beginning of ambient computing as a daily reality or the most expensive way to look slightly confused in public. And I knew, before I clicked "add to cart," before I walked into any store, before I entertained a single o

Everyone talks about what AI can do for your marketing. Here's what it actually did.. Two weeks ago, I stopped running my content operation the old way. No editorial calendar sitting in a Google doc. No agency sending a monthly report. No 'we'll have insights for you next quarter.' I plugged in ARIA — my personal cognitive OS — and let it run alongside me. Not instead of me. Alongside me. Here's what happened. The Numbers (Week 2) 54,072 impressions. 25,164 members reached.

It’s 3:15 a.m. I said I’d be in bed by midnight. Then 1. Then 2. Now I’m finishing the firmware download page for Beacon 4.0, and I’ve committed to getting this live before 3:45. Which means I have 30 minutes to write this before I push it. Also — quick side note — I recently bought one of those serious thermoses to bring coffee with me when I work away from the office. Filled it Sunday morning around 10 a.m. Top to the brim. Apparently it actually keeps coffee hot all day.

The internet does what it does...ClaudeBot drops...OpenClaw. CloudBot. MaltBot. Pick your favorite alias. It barely matters. Within days, Mac Minis are disappearing from shelves like it’s the week before Christmas and someone just announced a new console. I’m not exaggerating. There are YouTube videos right now of people stacking 40, 50, 60 Mac Minis vertically, building what can only be described as a ClaudeBot factory. Rows of white aluminum bricks churning through agent ta
