You ever notice how every era has its buzzword bullshit? Like, back in the day, every computer was bragging about its clock speed. “1.4 gigahertz!” “2.0 gigahertz!” It was the language of power. Nobody actually knew what it meant, but it had a number, and bigger numbers meant better computers, right? Same with RAM. Same with hard drives. Same with every tech label we could slap on a box. “Intel Inside” was practically gospel — and it didn’t matter if anyone understood it. Mar

I just got back from a data conference in Chicago, and I left honestly stunned. Not by the technology — by the people. Panel after panel, supposedly “leaders” in data science, logistics, and analytics — all of them dancing around the same idea: “We’re being cautious about AI.” Cautious. That word kept coming up like a reflex, a corporate mantra. “We’re waiting for regulation.” “We’re concerned about bias.” “We don’t trust the outputs.” It was like watching a room full of data

Every era of technology has its cartographers. People who climb high enough above the noise to see the shape of what’s coming, and then translate it into something the rest of us can navigate. For decades, Mary Meeker has been one of those people. Her Internet Trends  reports shaped the early web, the mobile wave, and the first real data-driven understanding of our digital lives. And her new deep-dive into AI marks another one of those moments where her view from altitude cl

The internet just caught AI in the act — but the crime scene looks more like a mirror. Reddit set a “honey pot” — a fake post visible only to Google’s crawler. When Perplexity’s AI surfaced that invisible post, it confirmed what many suspected: Perplexity wasn’t just browsing the open web; it was pulling from Google’s cached  Reddit content via proxy networks like OxyLabs, WMProxy, and SerpAPI. In plain English: Reddit built a locked vault, Google indexed the vault, and Perpl

Let me tell you something strange: We don’t know how to build the Space Shuttle anymore. NASA had the plans. The blueprints. The specs.What they didn’t have was the team —the network of minds, habits, and shared mental models that made it all work. That knowledge didn’t live in one document. It lived in hallway conversations. In hand gestures. In intuition built through repetition and failure. When those engineers retired or moved on, the Shuttle didn’t just become obsolete.

Here’s a question I get all the time:“Is everything I type into ChatGPT making it smarter?” Short answer? No. Longer answer? Hell no. And honestly, that’s the part people don’t get — but it’s the key to understanding where we are right now  in AI and where we’re heading faster than most realize. The AI You’re Using is Frozen in Time Every AI model you’ve ever interacted with — GPT-4, Claude, Grok 1, 2, 5, whatever — is basically locked in amber. It's not learning. It's not ev

If you’ve been using ChatGPT since the early days, you remember how wild it was — the world’s most powerful artificial intelligence wrapped in one of the simplest interfaces imaginable. It felt like driving a spaceship with two buttons: “send” and “regenerate.” Fast-forward to now, and it’s not just a chat box anymore. It’s starting to look and feel like a full-on operating system for your digital life . Projects, Custom GPTs, Memory, Connectors, Sora, the Atlas Browser — it’

If you’ve been on the internet in the last 48 hours, you’ve probably seen that  photo — a massive white-roofed facility in Memphis with MACROHARD  painted across it in letters so huge you can literally see them from space. And of course, it came straight from Elon Musk’s X account. Classic Elon: half-joke, half-omen, and somehow both at the same time. This is the same man who named a car line “S3XY,” sent a sports car into orbit, and made flamethrowers a consumer product. So

Let’s start with a hard truth: most people have no idea what AI can do — and that’s a problem. A big  one. Every day, I see new scams pop up online that look completely legitimate — professional-looking websites, polished videos, believable voices, and glowing reviews. The twist? None of it’s real. The people don’t exist. The products don’t exist. The business itself? Fabricated entirely by artificial intelligence. We’ve crossed a line. AI isn’t just automating tasks anymore;
