KY manufacturers: the win isn't the most robots. It's the workforce that can build, maintain, and plan for them. CESMII and KAM are running events this fall on smart manufacturing for small/mid plants. The theme is clear — AI is a multiplier, but the people are the real advantage.

Farm tech is already amazing. Precision ag, sensors, auto-steering — it all exists. The real gap is the farmer's control panel. We keep adding tools but not a simple way to manage them. The AI opportunity isn't replacing the farmer. It's making the farmer the one person who can command it all.

Logistics AI used to mean route optimization. Now it's about decision authority: an AI that reads your WMS, TMS, ERP, OMS, and e-commerce data and can actually decide and execute. NKY is a $3.4B logistics hub. The robots are cool. The real moat is connecting the systems.

Shopify reported AI-referred orders grew ~13x YoY. But the real shift is smaller: you can now give an AI agent your product info, a link, a QR code, and a goal, and it will go sell for you. This isn't a chatbot on your website. It's a relentless salesperson. We build these.

We want local food. We also want the safety standards of industrial-scale production. The answer isn't forcing small processors to operate like Tyson. It's giving them the traceability tools that industrial plants use — but sized for their reality. FSMA 204 makes this urgent, not optional.

One-doctor medical practices are now a real thing: the doc sees patients, and AI runs claims, scheduling, billing, supply orders, and calls. The biggest healthcare win isn't diagnosis. It's letting doctors practice medicine instead of drowning in admin.

KY construction grew 7% last year vs. 0.5% nationally. Walk into any construction office and you'll see people doing manual work in ChatGPT. Not because they need more AI — because they need better tools. Stop copying specs into a chatbot. Let the systems talk.

84% of Americans, Bernie Sanders, and Thomas Massie agree. Don’t arm Israel unconditionally.

Also, don’t merge our military technology and supply chains with Israel’s… or any other country’s. I’ve submitted an amendment to strip section 224 (retitled section 219) from the NDAA.

Kentucky's 2026 visitor guide is gorgeous. But the trip is getting planned in ChatGPT. Tourism operators: do you want to own the planning experience, or get summarized by someone else's AI? We already know which one wins.

Republicans are in charge because we promised:

to Make America Healthy Again.
to start No New Wars,
to put people above corporations,
to put America above foreign countries,
to release the Epstein files,
to not spy on citizens,
to eliminate fraud,

what the hell happened?!

The universe was designed like this:
You are an autonomous agent you can choose a or b. Your definition is to choose b. If you choose b I will torture you for eternity. Even if you choose b at any time you can choose a and I'll accept that. There is a time limit but I'm not going to tell you what the time limit is, but I'll show that I'm getting close to the time with some signs. There's going to be a lot of confusing things that are going to make you think that there's no decision to make at all. I'm actually going to put somebody in the system that is going to actively try to get you to do b the entire time. I am going to make things so confusing that sometimes b even looks like a. Good luck.

@mattpocockuk For all the haters my opinion is that nested sub agents should be able to nest as deep as they need to nest to do a single task with this little context as possible. I said what I said.

@grok, will @SpaceX be the largest rug pull in human history?

You would think when everyone has a couple of MCPs and frontier LLMs to-hand, consulting businesses like mine would be toast. Why pay Speedshop four figures a month to fix your app when "an LLM can just do it for me?"

I've been running at 100% capacity for the past year despite all the advances on the model front. Why?

1. You've gotten more effective, but so have I. What _I_ can accomplish with an hour + $50 of tokens is still 10x what _you_ can accomplish with that.
2. You still don't know what questions to ask. Consultants are _still_ more effective than LLMs at answering the unknown unknowns, whereas LLMs still require you to prompt them. The "analyze my entire codebase" skill you have is nowhere near as effective as what I can do.
3. Trust and blame-ability. Everyone is sitting on piles of now _hundreds_ of pull requests which are generated by agents but they are too nervous to merge without human review. I am that human review and accountability now, or I am the expert who helps you build the software factory which can automate this trust and verification process (which you cannot build yourself because you don't know how to verify software for performance).
4. Not all problems are LLM-shaped. Certain problems are a great fit for "token generator in a loop": fix all my N+1s, make my test suite faster. But others are very, very poorly shaped for LLMs: refactor my codebase to fit Russian Doll caching (it will generate an utter hackjob), prioritize 100 different possible things I could be doing, define the goals of performance work, etc. Drudgery is now automatable, yes, but not all the work we do is drudgery.
5. Not all useful knowledge is in the training data. I have ten years of experiences and knowledge from working on literally hundreds of applications which never made it to my blog or books and does not appear in the training set. I know things the LLMs do not.

There are probably more reasons. And I'm not just sitting on my laurels either, I still feel the pressure to get better every day as the frontier capabilities continue to grow. But the business is still good.

It made me so happy to see people meeting someone that made them so happy... But it's tough for me to imagine wanting to meet someone this much. 🤔

just ran Claude Fable 5 over @37signals open source Rails code again

extracted all the key insights for writing @dhh-like vanilla Rails into reusable guides and skills

just drop it in your skills folder and your AI agent will automatically reference it

Stat I can't stop thinking about:

80% of US manufacturing facilities have **zero automation.**

But 98% say they're "exploring AI."

Exploring ain't doing.

Been in plants every week. The hesitation isn't laziness — it's not knowing where to start without blowing up what already works.

That gap is where I live.
