I'm writing this by talking... Hands crossed. Sitting back. Just saying words out loud into a console that's going to turn them into an article, generate a cover image, produce audio, post it to my site, push it to LinkedIn. The whole thing. I'm not touching a keyboard. Last week I wrote a Mac app in twenty minutes. It connects over Bluetooth to my Ember mug and shows me the temperature in my menu bar. Not my mug. I didn't build the mug. Didn't invent the Bluetooth stack. I j

The Receipt OpenClaw — one of the most widely used open-source agent frameworks in the world — just shipped a feature called Dreaming. By default, it runs at 3:00 AM. Every night. Whether you’re awake or not. What it does, technically, is background memory consolidation: three phases (Light, REM, Deep) that sort recent short-term signals, reflect on themes, and promote the most durable insights into long-term memory. The system scores candidates on relevance, frequency, recen

I watched a clip on TikTok this week of a woman explaining her business to a host, and I need to talk about it, because it's one of the best real-world examples I've seen of exactly what I've been saying since 2023 — and it's also proof of something most people building with AI right now don't want to hear. What She Actually Built She sells custom GPTs — the ones you build on a standard $20/month ChatGPT account — to coaches, founders, and consultants. She's doing around $100

Right now, somewhere, a defense planner is looking at a drone that can identify, track, and fire on a target in under a millisecond — faster than any human operator could possibly approve the shot — and deciding whether to cut the human out of the loop entirely. Not because they want to. Because they've concluded that if they don't, and their adversary does, they lose. That decision is being made in conference rooms this year, not in a science fiction script. I've written bef

Fourteen months ago I wrote a piece called "Why We NEED a Billion Robots." The thesis was simple: the AI conversation was obsessed with the wrong half of the workforce. Everyone was watching chatbots write emails while ignoring the fact that nobody had figured out how to automate a plumber, an electrician, or a warehouse picker. I argued that solving machine intelligence was the easy part — manufacturing that intelligence into a body that could actually do physical work was t

I'm writing this to be read a year from now. Six predictions, grounded in what's actually happening today. The device. The agents. Physical AI. Quantum. Governance. And the one nobody sees coming. Hold me to it.

Sam Altman posted two sentences this morning and 650,000 people read them. "Feels like a good time to seriously rethink how operating systems and user interfaces are designed. Also the internet — there should be a protocol that is equally usable by people and agents." Two sentences. Enormous implications and I don't think most of the people who liked it understood what he was actually saying. I replied with two words: Polymorphic OS. Let me explain what I meant. The Assumptio

Disney Research, Google DeepMind, and NVIDIA just open-sourced a GPU-accelerated physics simulation engine. It's not just a robotics tool. It's the next proof that math is eating every constraint hardware can't solve.

Everyone thinks Apple lost the AI race. What if they've been playing a different game all along? Not the hyperscaler race. Not the frontier model race. Not even the benchmark race. A different game entirely — the one that matters most when 1.5 billion people carry your hardware in their pocket every single day. Let's talk about what's actually coming at WWDC. And more importantly, what it means for where phones, software, and AI agents are going in the second half of 2026. Fi

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.

AI isn't dividing the world into winners and losers. It's dividing it into two different species. Alex Karp, the CEO of Palantir — the company whose software helps governments and intelligence agencies automate decision-making at planetary scale — went on record this week telling people to skip elite colleges. His reasoning was surgical: unless you're neurodivergent, the only path left with real durability is skilled trades. Electricians. Carpenters. Machinists. People who wo

OpenClaw shipped its biggest release of the year on March 22nd. 16 breaking changes. 50-plus new features. 100-plus bug fixes. 15-plus security patches. If you have been watching the agentic AI space, you know OpenClaw has quietly become the operating system underneath a lot of what people are building. It is the layer that connects AI models to real tools — your browser, your files, your APIs, your phone, your calendar, your code. It is the thing that makes agents actually d

There is a battle playing out at the center of the agent world right now. On one side: Anthropic and OpenAI, two companies that spent most of 2025 learning a bitter lesson. Shipping fast does not mean organizations actually adopt. On the other side: Nvidia, which just launched NemoClaw. Embedded inside that launch is a philosophy that is quietly more interesting than the product itself. NemoClaw is built on engineering principles that are fifty years old. And that is not a cr

There’s a paper making the rounds right now saying something that sounds dramatic: AI will always hallucinate. And everyone’s reacting like this is some shocking revelation. It’s not. But it is an important reminder—especially right now. Timing Matters We’re in a moment where: AI just took another leap forward Agent frameworks, Claw everything, are exploding New users are pouring in at scale Which is exactly what we’ve all wanted. Seriously—I’ve been waiting years for this l

Every so often, the tech world does something interesting. Not a press release. Not a product launch. A pattern. And right now, the pattern is loud. Everyone is building a Claw. Different names. Different wrappers. Same underlying idea: Nvidia, Alibaba, Tencent, ByteDance, Xiaomi. All moving fast toward agent-based systems that do not just respond but act. So naturally, the question comes up: Is this just another AI fad? Short answer? No. The reason has nothing to do with hyp

Let’s cut through it. If you feel like things just accelerated in a way that doesn’t make sense…You’re right. Because in the last few months alone, we’ve crossed a line that most people didn’t realize was this close. The Receipts Let’s anchor this in reality. AI agents are no longer demos—they’re executing multi-step workflows end-to-end People are paying $6K–$10K to install “agent stacks” on personal machines Founders are openly telling their kids: don’t optimize for traditi

The last week has been fascinating to watch. Someone built a $25,000 website in six hours with Claude. Jensen Huang said every company now needs an agentic strategy — the same way they once needed an HTML strategy or a Linux strategy. Netflix posted a comms job at $775K. Software engineering postings dropped 60,000 in two years. AI founders told the WSJ they'd tell their kids to study English lit. OpenClaw. ClawBot. Agents everywhere. These feel like separate conversations. T

Every few months the internet discovers a real scientific breakthrough and immediately turns it into a sci-fi headline. This week’s example: a fruit fly. If you saw the posts floating around social media, the claim sounded dramatic: “Scientists uploaded a living creature into a computer.” That’s a fantastic headline. It’s also… not really what happened. And honestly, the real story is more interesting—mainly because it’s real. What Actually Happened https://flywire.ai/ Resear

Alright. A week ago we were arguing about whether ClawdBot was reckless, revolutionary, or both. Security threads were on fire. Open source was vibrating. Markets were twitching. GPU chatter went thermonuclear. Now? OpenAI just pulled the builder into their orbit. And whether people want to admit it or not, that’s a strategic coup. Let’s Be Honest About OpenAI for a Second For the past year, OpenAI hasn’t exactly felt like the sharpest knife in the drawer. They’ve been shippi

Let’s stop dancing around it.... For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been watching this open-source agent ecosystem do what open source always does when something powerful lands in its lap: it goes feral. ClaudeBot, Maltbook, autonomous negotiation, agents coordinating, people duct-taping workflows together and seeing what breaks. And most of the conversation has been about autonomy. Is this safe? Is this dangerous? Is this the gray goo phase? That’s interesting. It’s not the
