Google to scan your entire photo library to build what it calls “Personal Intelligence.” What this means in plain English is that your images are no longer just stored, they are analyzed and integrated into a broader behavioral profile.

Great article on the hidden cost of high-velocity engineering in the AI era.
We talk about how AI tools make individual tasks faster, but there's constant context-switching and decision fatigue.

Over the last year I’ve gone through the 5 stages of grief.
1. Denial - “AI writes slop.”
2. Anger - “AI is trained on stolen data. I worked 20 years for these skills.”
3. Bargaining - “If I ignore it, maybe it will pass.”
4. Depression - “I don’t feel like working.”
5. Acceptance - “AI makes me quicker, more creative, and more capable. It automates the drudgery so I can focus on key decisions instead of syntax.”
Relieved to be at step 5.
