So… OpenAI just dropped Atlas , their brand-new AI-powered browser . And somewhere out there, a thousand Chrome extensions just quietly curled up and died. Copy helpers, summarizers, productivity widgets, those sidebar AI things everyone rushed to build last year — all gone in one press release. Atlas basically did to browser plug-ins what the iPhone did to the flip phone industry: it smiled, waved politely, and rewrote the rules of the game. But under the hood, this isn’t ju

When us-east-1 Sneezes, the Internet Gets a Cold At exactly 3:11 AM this morning—because apparently the cloud has a flair for irony— Amazon Web Services’ us-east-1 region  tripped over its own DNS resolver and faceplanted, taking half the internet down with it. For those of us of a certain age, sipping our morning coffee while watching dashboards fail to load, there was only one thing going through our heads: 🎶 Gonna take the internet down… down…  🎶 Yes. 311.

Let’s be clear: the cloud isn’t dying. But the age of unquestioned cloud supremacy  — that decade-long reign where every ounce of intelligence had to pass through someone else’s API — that’s beginning to crack. We’re entering the post-imperial  phase of compute. The Great Inversion For twenty years, the cloud has been the empire of cognition: centralized, industrial, and rented by the teraflop. It made sense. The economics of scale were brutal. Training frontier models requir

Let me tell you something that’s easy to miss but impossible to ignore once you see it: The borders that matter now aren’t on land—they’re in compute. And they’re shifting. Fast. Not in theory. Not in the metaverse. In steel, in silicon, in megawatts. The world is being redrawn in real time, and the lines are being etched by the placement of data centers. This isn’t speculation. This isn’t metaphor. This is a real-world transformation happening at a scale that’s hard to wrap

Walk into any office in the world—tech startup, bank, law firm, doesn't matter. Find someone at their desk, shoulders curled forward like a question mark, eyeballs deep in emails or Jira tickets. Now, put your thumb right between their shoulder blade and spine, just a little up and in. What happens? They drop their shoulder. They let out an involuntary “ooohhh.”  Then—without fail—they turn to you and say: “Do it again.” That, my friend, is the spot . You know it. I know it.
