In a recent post, I claimed prompt caches get evicted long before their advertised lifetime, so idle agents resume at full price as a proof of the impending AI plateau.

I ran 120 trials to check. I was wrong.

And the VC subsidy is ending. Unit prices falling ~10x a year, enterprise bills still exploding past $30M because agents multiplied tokens per task 5–1,000x.

The AI plateau isn't pessimism. Under brute-force scaling it's arithmetic.

In Q1 2026, US communities blocked or delayed over $130B in planned data center construction. Water, grid strain, noise.

Compute can't scale exponentially if data centers can't get permits.
Why AI adoption is about to plateau 🧵

"But look what it did to coding". Software engineering is an anomaly with peer-reviewed training data and a compiler to catch hallucinations.

Hallucinate a legal argument and no error log appears. The win doesn't travel.

At @CMUEngineering, Ph.D. student Mansi Sood recently published work in @PNASNews demystifying how viral mutations & network structure impact epidemics. Her findings shed light on mitigation strategies as well as social contagions like misinformation.

@singhh_srishti Figured out how to see the original tweet, wooo!

[Akash Sood @sood_akash]

@singhh_srishti @HitchhikerQ I guess I don't how to twitter correctly. But, what is the context here? I am so lost.

[Akash Sood @sood_akash]

@GhadeerAwwad12 I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.

After a harrowing 30 hr flight from Delhi, finally reached Ann Arbor. Went to @blankslatecream, the best ice cream place in the world, to forget the pain.

But, they're closed till Mar 1. ,,

@Noahpinion Or perhaps the serial killers are getting better at not getting caught by watching all the true crime podcasts?
