I still write blog posts to keep my mind sharp from just shoveling all the thinking to an AI.
The Cognitive Cost of Convenience: Why Deep Engagement May Be One of the Best Things for Your Brain

I wonder about the folks that used to light the flame in gas street lamps. What did the public think about those people's jobs when electric street lamps came to town?
Yes, I’m in this line of thinking. The driver experience isn’t harsh, while still on the edge with 1000 HP. Some will miss the sound of a V12, others will enjoy the power and build quality of owning a Ferrari.
In my view, the Ferrari Luce will sell a lot. The target audience is well studied, and sales will end up adding on top of combustion-engine sales.
It is a much more comfortable and less “showy” car than the others, and I think people are underestimating this aspect of the experiment, beyond the full electric novelty.
The experiment by Lamborghini and Ferrari of producing luxury SUVs has worked very well; the Ferrari Purosangue is one of the most in-demand models, and it has not reduced the market for sports supercars.
In the Ferrari Luce there is not only the electric powertrain, but also a four-seat design, a less flashy profile, more physical buttons and fewer touch interfaces. In my opinion, it is a more “spendable” and family-friendly car than many of Ferrari’s more aggressive models: the CEO of a renewable energy company can show up at work in a Ferrari Luce, not in a SF90 that consumes like a plane and makes you look like an arrogant show-off in front of colleagues.
A wealthy parent might also appreciate a four-seat Ferrari they can use to take their children around.
Overall, I think that partly because of the electric drivetrain and partly because of the softer, more comfortable design, the Luce targets a different type of wealthy customer compared to other models, without weakening the sporty identity of the brand or its other models.
I thought Jony Ive’s company was doing only the interior, everyone keeps saying his company did the whole car. It appears so…
“The body for Ferrari's first fully electric car, the 2027 Ferrari Luce, was designed by LoveFrom, the creative agency led by former Apple Chief Design Officer Sir Jony Ive and renowned industrial designer Marc Newson, in close collaboration with Ferrari's Chief Design Officer Flavio Manzoni.”
Not till grandma vibes codes herself an app to accurately redo her knitting design plan. Till then, it is a small percent of folks in this “build your own local” group. Sharing, trust, discovery, keeps an App Store alive. An AI OS won’t get it right enough either to change the need.
I said a couple years ago that influencers are going have to pivot from doing a video of them reading the spec on the box to real use case exploration of each new device.
New news? Or, Bixby from back in 2017 is finally getting the attention it was looking for. Samsung just kicked off AI Week 2026: AI that knows your TV habits, your laundry patterns, and now your grocery list. We're not talking 'smart home' anymore, we're talking a home that thinks. All of the parts coming together and talking about us.

A group of top AI researchers just joined a $4 billion effort to build self-improving AI — systems that get better on their own, without humans in the loop.
We're not in "chatbot" territory anymore. This is the part of the story worth paying attention to. 🧵
I'm not here to hype or to panic. But I am paying close attention to who's building it, what guardrails exist, and what problems they're actually trying to solve.
Because the use cases, good and risky, are genuinely enormous. 👀
What's your take?
