Anthropology + AI automation. Your team's workarounds are encoded wisdom. I build systems that amplify what works.

The government banned one AI model for being too dangerous. Every other model is still running. That's not regulation. That's a product review.

IBM spent $34 billion on Red Hat, then cut 300 of its engineers this April. Some found out because their VPN stopped working before anyone called.

136,000 tech workers got laid off this year, and many of them maintained the open source projects you're still pulling into production.

Microsoft just shipped its second-largest patch month in history. AI vulnerability submissions tripled. The consortium responsible named itself after a butterfly that hides by being transparent. It's working.

Your grandfather could fix the tractor. Your kid can approve the recommendation the platform sends to their phone. The 2026 Farm Bill pays 90% to make sure that happens faster.

A free model on my kitchen table beat ChatGPT in 2024. Not smarter. Just plugged into Google Search.

Stanford's latest shows every major model converged to "measurement error territory." The smartest-model race ended in a tie. The differentiator was never intelligence. It was a cable we attached.

Derek Mobley applied to 100+ jobs over seven years. Every rejection arrived in minutes. None came from a human. Over a billion workers got the same treatment from a system nobody told them about. Two lawsuits are about to change what that means.

Companies cut the generation most fluent in AI to save money on AI. The AWS CEO called it "one of the dumbest things I've ever heard." AWS. The company selling the AI infrastructure.

Nobody told them to type one more prompt before bed. Nobody had to. UC Berkeley watched 200 tech workers for eight months. The AI tools worked a bit too well. 83% of them burned out, but they were also the most productive employees their companies had ever measured.

Everyone seems to be arguing about what started the Iran war. It seems strange that noone's asking if it was the AI? Should this conversation really be about "decision compression"?

AI data centers are outbidding phone makers for the same memory chip. The sub-$100 smartphone that connects 171 million people just became what one analyst called "permanently uneconomical." Not because demand dropped. Because a server rack offered more per chip.
