Microsoft told 100,000 engineers to stop using Claude Code. The token bills exceeded the cost of the humans it was supposed to replace. Uber's CTO blew his annual AI budget by April. Nvidia's chip VP said compute costs more than his employees. The efficiency narrative is getting receipts.

Question, why doesn't @SpaceX go all in on Texas as Earth's main space hub? Would think centralizing manufacturing and building an entire ecosystem around it makes more long term sense for logistics, safety, resources versus attempting ports all over the globe?

M365CON26 showed the real bet: Microsoft wants tools people don't resent. Hero Links fixes ancient link/permission hell. Agents become teammates. Designers now own the ambiguity between human and machine. The capable-vs-usable gap is massive. Good. That's our territory.

Day 1 workshops at #M365CON26 wrapped. The knowledge in these rooms doesn't live in docs — it lives in the people who already made the mistakes. Plus the hallway reconnections you can't put on a schedule. Good day. Sharp room.

The people who'll regret this era of AI won't be the ones who tried and failed. They'll be the ones who watched, debated, and reasoned their way into perfect inaction while the window closed. It's 1994 and the domain names are still free.

AI didn't kill your project. You used AI to make starting over feel like strategy. The friction you removed was load-bearing. Now you have five v2 folders and nothing shipped.

Copilot didn't ask your employees if they wanted a better experience. It just gave them one. Now they expect it everywhere. That's a design problem, not an IT problem.

Who’s winning the AI user race in 2026? Consumer vs Enterprise breakdown:

Consumer: Scale game
→ ChatGPT: ~900M weekly active users
→ Meta AI: 1B+ monthly across apps
→ Gemini: ~750M app MAU + 2B via Search

Enterprise: Fragmented & multi-model

Microsoft leads integration, OpenAI powers workloads, Claude surging for coding/reasoning/safety.

Winner-take-all is dead. It’s specialized leaders + multi-vendor stacks now.

Seeing teams standardize or mix models?

Copilot isn't getting useful because the model got smarter.

It's getting useful because people are finally learning the human skills that make it work:

Crystal clear intent
Real context
Deliberate iteration
Surfacing assumptions
Ruthless validation

Treat it like a green but talented teammate, not a vending machine. Check out my latest article: Copilot Skills: Working Effectively with Copilot https://t.co/ThMJCyakgP via @LinkedIn

2026 digital trends in one sentence: hype is dead, proof is everything.

Organizations moved from AI pilots to agent orchestration, physical robotics, and provenance requirements. Designers who redesign workflows around humans + agents win. The rest explain missed ROI.
