I expect lots of flights to Argentina if this is going to pass.

[Michał Podlewski @trajektoriePL]

Now we know why Peter Thiel packed his bags for Argentina.

Milei just submitted his AI legislative framework to Congress, where he proposes:
- zero regulation on AI development,
- a brand-new "non-human corporation" category for AI/robot-operated entities with limited liability
-a low-tax regime with flexible governance rules.

The Dutch East India Company gave the world the limited liability company in 1602. Milei wants Argentina to do the same for autonomous AI agents in 2026.

A new issue of Through the Boundary is out: in the last few weeks I sat down separately with @nielspflaeging author of Organize for Complexity, and @alexeykri , co-author of Org Topologies and 10XOrgs. They emerged from different problem spaces, use different vocabularies, and draw different diagrams.

And yet when I put their ideas side by side next to Team Topologies, DDD, Wardley's ILC, and Haier's Rendanheyi (and our 3EO Toolkit), the same three-way distinction appeared in every single one.

1. Core units that face the market and carry the strategic risk.
2. Supporting units that serve them with something distinctive.
3. Generic commodity units that could be outsourced but aren't.

Basically: anybody who has been putting out genuinely important ideas on how we organise work in complex organisations in the last fifteen years has reached this skeleton.

I feel like this is not a coincidence.

The skeleton is there because these three economic relationships (with the market, with internal distinctiveness, and with commodity overhead) are structural features of any organisation above small-startup scale.

Their vocabulary diverged because each school grew inside a different community, but the convergence was always latent.

What's been missing across all six is the substrate beneath the skeleton: a contract grammar that specifies what units actually exchange with each other, and not just how they communicate. We need to know who pays whom, who shares upside, and who carries the investment risk. That's what Boundaryless has been formalising, and it's the second half of this essay.

If you find yourself reaching for Team Topologies' stream-aligned team in one conversation and 3EO's micro-enterprise in the next, read it as a confirmation that, yes, there is a convergence! :)

P.S. the long-form version of this argument will appear in a forthcoming whitepaper. This piece is a practitioner-level note; the whitepaper will do the long-form work and gives fuller context.

Mainstream strategy is finally realizing that architecture is destiny. Recent reports from BCG and McKinsey clearly point to modularity and deep flexibility as the invariant strategies for an uncertain future - yet they consistently stop short of providing the execution blueprint.

To bridge this gap, we have to look across disciplines.

This curated reading digest from my latest newsletter connects macro-global scenarios with the deep mechanics of software architecture, pace layers, and AI context engineering. It’s a synthesis of how we must design organizations and product portfolios to remain coherent in a chaotic, AI-infused age.

Italy R&D spending is only around 1.3–1.4% of GDP, far below the EU average of 2.2%+

Venture capital remains structurally underdeveloped: Only about 4% of the European total, despite representing one of Europe’s largest economies.

OECD analysis shows multi-factor productivity has been stagnant for nearly three decades.

Italy requires substantial bureaucratic reforms, a reduction in administrative burdens, stronger support for the venture capital and technology industries, and accelerated technological adoption by businesses.

[Rafael R. Guthmann @GuthmannR]

I computed Italian GDP per hour worked at 93% of the US's, but Italians work 25% fewer hours per capita, thus GDP per capita is ca. 70% of the US's.

Then if you consider that Italians pay 15% more of GDP in taxes, the per capita private product remaining in households in Italy is only ca. 55% of the US's.

Thus, in terms of value added per hour, Italian productivity is comparable to the US's, but in terms of private income in households, American incomes are nearly double of Italian levels.

@lugaricano @arnimius GEA has not released more recent measurements, but some estimates are at 19% in 2024, with a strong expectation of further growth. https://t.co/y2CuZXCahA It really depends on attitude and average temperatures-Italy is at 56%.

[Carlo Daffara @cdaffara]

@RiccardoTrezzi @armandazzo It is not a matter of size. There is a generalized preference for internally-developed solutions (that are generally inferior), as well as a lack of knowledge and skills that makes the take-up of innovation slower than other countries.

On the "gemini deleted 30k code lines in production and killed all services" - this is the interesting part. https://t.co/AIPUUsn6kS Reminds me of "why is HAL 9000 doing this" in 2001: a space odissey.

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

[Nabeel S. Qureshi @nabeelqu]

Well, this is a first: a ChatGPT-generated story won a prestigious literary prize (The Commonwealth Prize).

"Not X, not Y, but Z" sentences everywhere, the "hums" trope, and plenty of other obvious markers of AI writing.

A major milestone for AI, at any rate...

I've spent the past few weeks reading 100s of public data sources about AI development. I now believe that recursive self-improvement has a 60% chance of happening by the end of 2028. In other words, AI systems might soon be capable of building themselves.

[Ronnie Chatterji @RonnieChatterji]

Interesting study by @erikbryn and @avi_collis showing big consumer welfare gains from AI. Reminds us that large portion of the economic value of AI will not show up in traditional economic indicators. https://t.co/KZamgFevc9

HTML Image Maps on steroids.
So much brilliant innovation to unpack here:
- everything is a link
- the browser's address bar reinvented as a tree
- responsive design? just a different image aspect ratio
- infinite rabbit hole
- educational & approachable: a 3 year old can use it

[Carlo Daffara @cdaffara]

One of the most impressive demos of a completely different UI. Lovely-slow for sure! but impressive when you grasp its potential.

[Zain Shah @zan2434]

Imagine every pixel on your screen, streamed live directly from a model. No HTML, no layout engine, no code. Just exactly what you want to see.

@eddiejiao_obj, @drewocarr and I built a prototype to see how this could actually work, and set out to make it real. We're calling it Flipbook. (1/5)

De toekomst van mobiliteit is aangebroken

FSD Supervised has been approved in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 & will begin rolling out in the country shortly! 

Trained on billions of kilometers of real-world driving data, it can drive you almost anywhere under your supervision – from residential roads to city streets & highways

No other vehicle can do this. 

We're excited to bring FSD Supervised to more European countries soon
