The Government Built the Internet. Why Didn’t It Build AI?

Hey guys, I just red an article from the CEO of Microsoft who said: “It will cost 'hundreds of billions' to keep up with frontier AI in the next decade.” The article sent me in a rabbit hole and made me think how other life changing events in our history kick-started. And every single time - the government played a big role in making it possible. Take for example the internet… DoD funded early networking research during the Cold War. During the 1980s, the National Science Foundation bu...

AI subscriptions are cheap now—but will they stay that way by 2026?

Many AI tools today come with heavy discounts or subsidies, but this article argues that these pricing models aren’t sustainable. As vendors push for profitability, businesses and individual users could face steep price increases in the next few years. How are you preparing for potential cost hikes in your AI stack? Are there open-source or self-hosted alternatives you’re considering?

Which model is the most worthy of the big names?

Hi all! I'm a little bit confused by all the benchmark results, the cheatings and whatnot, so I was wondering about which model do you guys think is the best one to subscribe to from the big names. Which one do you think is the best for everyday tasks, reasoning, coding, etc and why do you think that? For example, Google Gemini is 20 bucks, but comes with 5TB of storage and an agentic system, claude is similar but does not have a storage part, etc.

[D] Could AI alignment benefit from “transformational” training instead of mostly transactional reward training?

I’ve been thinking about a possible bridge between AI alignment, reward hacking, and transformational leadership. A lot of AI training seems behaviorally transactional at a simplified level: That makes sense, and I’m not arguing against it. But recent alignment work on reward hacking and emergent misalignment raises a deeper question: are we only shaping outputs, or are we also shaping something like a model’s functional “character”? I don’t mean character in the human-consciousness se...

28 point compliance checklist for shipping AI agents into enterprise environments

We keep getting the same question from teams trying to close enterprise deals. What do we actually need to pass a security review? So we compiled the checklist. 28 items across 6 categories, each mapped to at least one framework (EU AI Act, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 42001, or NIST AI RMF). Quick summary Logging (6 items) - log every prompt/response with timestamps, capture the full decision chain (not just input/output), retain for 6+ months, make logs tamper-evident. Most teams fail here f...

What AI capability do you think is still surprisingly underdeveloped?

We've seen huge progress in coding assistants, image generation, reasoning, and voice AI over the last few years. But what's one capability that you expected AI to be much better at by now, yet still feels disappointing? For me, it's long-term memory and maintaining context across complex, ongoing tasks. It has improved, but it still isn't as seamless as I'd hoped.

I wish job hours would be reworked or updated with AI. But for the image below I guess not?

Well I guess we are stuck with 8 hours per day 5 days per week job forever and ever. And when I say 8 hours I´m not counting 1 of lunch our and the trips to the company. In that case would be 11 hours per day out of home.....Well at least when we gona have 75 years we can be free and live life. We might not have energy but well....

The Best AI Business To Start In 2026 (In My Opinion)

For me, it's still web design. I know a lot of people are going to disagree because everyone keeps saying it's saturated, AI is replacing developers, and it's impossible to get clients. Honestly, I couldn't disagree more. I think web design is actually easier than ever if you approach it differently. The mistake I see almost everyone make is targeting businesses that don't have a website. You see it all over Instagram Reels. Someone opens Google Maps, finds a business without a websi...

I spent a weekend going deep on AI video tools and now I can't stop thinking about what entertainment looks like in 5 years

I'm not a filmmaker. I'm just someone who pays close attention to AI and last weekend I ended up spending about 14 hours going down a rabbit hole of AI video generation tools, specifically Seedance. What started as curiosity turned into one of those 2am moments where you're staring at the ceiling thinking about something you can't turn off. I started running some rough math. Game of Thrones cost somewhere between $6 and $15 million per episode at its peak. The production crew alone was enormou...

What’s the biggest gap between AI tool demos and actual daily use?

I’ve been testing different AI tools in real business workflows, mostly for writing, research, content planning, and repetitive office tasks. One thing I noticed is that demos usually look impressive, but daily use often fails in small places: inconsistent output, lack of context, too much manual checking, or poor integration with existing workflows. For people using AI at work, what is the biggest gap you see between demo videos and real productivity?

Do we still need to study algorithms now that AI writes most of our code?

I've been thinking about this for a while. AI can now write functions, explain code, refactor projects, generate tests, and even solve many programming problems better than many junior developers. I've also noticed that Stack Overflow seems far less active than it used to be because many developers now ask AI instead. This made me wonder: Is learning algorithms still as important as it used to be? I'm not talking about memorizing LeetCode solutions for interviews. I mean actually spend...

Dwell

A while back I almost bought a house I was in love with. The listing was gorgeous. What it didn't tell me: the "updated" roof was at end-of-life, the comps it was priced against weren't really comps, and the repair list I eventually got was going to eat my entire reno budget. I found all of that out the slow, expensive way — one surprise at a time. So I built Dwell — basically the tool I wish I'd had standing in that driveway. You paste in an address and it gives you a free read o...

I built an AI macro intelligence engine that maps how shocks move through the economy

I’ve been building ORBIS , an AI intelligence engine for reading the economy as a connected system instead of a pile of disconnected headlines. The core idea is simple: Most market tools tell you what moved . ORBIS tries to answer: What caused it? What does it affect next? What are the second-order consequences? For example, if there’s an AI demand shock, ORBIS doesn’t just say “tech bullish.” It traces the dependency chain: AI → data centers → power demand → natural gas → copper → ut...

Every generation of programmers was called lazy by the last one. AI is just the newest round.

Assembly programmers thought C devs were soft. C devs thought the Python crowd weren't real programmers. Everyone thought the React kids didn't understand the DOM. Every time, abstraction rose and the work moved up a level, it didn't vanish. AI coding is the same move, one level higher. You describe intent, the model produces code. The job shifts from writing syntax to designing systems and deciding what's worth building. You become the architect. The honest asterisk: every previous abstract...

I built 8 specialist AI agents that share one memory of a user health history

So, I built a thing for myself that I'd like to share with others. The common pattern for AI health tools is one general chatbot answering questions with no real context. I went the other way and built eight specialist agents, training, nutrition, longevity, recovery, biohacking, running, and so on, that all read from one shared memory of the full history and synced wearable data. The interesting design problem was that a search box that knows nothing about you can only give the average answer...

Should I switch from Claude to ChatGPT 5.6? Here's how I'm thinking about it.

OpenAI dropped the 5.6 announcement and I've been going through what we actually know so far. Three models: Sol, Terra, Luna. None are public yet so we're working off what OpenAI put out. From what they've shared, Terra is supposed to match 5.5 capability at about half the cost, Luna cheaper and faster but less capable. OpenAI is genuinely winning on the cost side right now. Anthropic keeps shipping smarter models but without the pricing coming down, and that gap is getting harder to ignore if...

What's one AI capability you think is still massively underrated?

Do you think World Models will lead to AGI?

World models are systems designed to learn an internal representation of how an environment works. Instead of reacting blindly to predictive text models like LLMs, an AI with a world model can simulate physics, object interactions, and time, allowing it to plan and predict outcomes before taking action.

Simulating cloud infrastructure for AI agents - launch day post

Training AI agents to optimize cloud infrastructure is tricky when the feedback loop requires real cloud spend. We've been working on a simulation environment for exactly this multi-cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI, DigitalOcean), chaos injection, autoscaling, cost modeling, all accessible via REST API so agents can run episodes without touching real resources.

The AI frontier just got locked behind government approval, and most of us aren’t on the list

Something happened in the last two weeks that didn’t get nearly enough attention outside of tech circles. Anthropic released what are reportedly their most capable models yet, Fable 5 and Mythos 5. The Trump administration then ordered Anthropic to ban all foreign nationals from accessing them, citing cybersecurity concerns. Anthropic’s response? They shut down access entirely, saying they couldn’t reliably enforce a “foreign nationals only” restriction. The reason these models are so sensit...
