By canning the National Science Board with no stated justification, the administration continues the destruction of this country's scientific and technological base built up over 80 years. Supporters of this action live in a fantasy dystopia about how science operates.

Ukraine is the global leader in next generation drone and anti-drone warfare. The US and its allies voluntarily discarded that expertise and cut support for Ukraine, and now lives are being lost for it. My latest 👇

For 20+ years, software ate the world. Now, AI Agents are eating software.
A massive signal just came out of China that most people missed:

Bairong (a publicly listed enterprise giant) started selling "AI Workers".
they call it Results-as-a-Service (RaaS). 🧵

instead of buying "seats," enterprises now "hire" agents. each agent comes with a job description, KPIs, and revenue targets.

if performance drops, the bill drops. if the agent improves, it earns more.
Bairong runs this through "Results Cloud". it’s essentially an HR system for machines.

they’ve already deployed agents across: Sales & Customer Service + Recruitment (hiring cycles cut from 30 days to 2) + Legal & Tax (handling 90% of high-frequency work)

this is where the SaaS model starts to crack.

Traditional SaaS: You pay upfront. You carry the risk.
Agentic Era: You pay for outcomes. The vendor carries the risk.

this shift is being accelerated by the collapse of build costs.

I came across this post by @martinald recently that agentic coding has slashed internal build costs by ~90%. when it's this cheap to build exactly what you need, the "Buy" in "Build vs Buy" dies.

IMO, Vendors who are not able to price against results will struggle.

the "Seat" is dead. the "Outcome" is everything. 🤖📈

OpenAI have 9x'd their capacity this year, and have a goal to 125x further by 2033, thus exceeding current energy capacity of the whole of India - as per @alexeheath reporting of @sama's internal slack note.

One thing to note is that 125x energy capacity increase understates the compute increase, as Nvidia are pushing hard to increase the 'intelligence per watt', so the effective compute could be much higher than that.

Today, we're bringing agentic capabilities to AI Mode in Search for Google AI Ultra subscribers. But... what is actually different?

Let's say you want to make a dinner reservation. Traditionally, that would require multiple searches, concurrent tabs, and a lot of manual comparisons to find a suitable restaurant with availability that works with your schedule. Not to mention having to jump through multiple hoops to ultimately make your booking.

Now, with agentic capabilities in AI Mode, Search is able to browse multiple sites at once to find real-time availability for restaurants that meet your specific needs (location, cuisines, group size, etc) and then present you with a curated list with available reservation time slots. Finally, AI Mode will link you directly to the booking page, so you can easily take the last step and finalize your reservation.

Try it out and let us know what you think!
