Meta planned to shrink some teams by up to 60% with AI agents. Then it backed off.

Reuters reports Meta explored cutting some teams by as much as 60% as part of an AI-native restructuring. Productivity and reliability problems reportedly derailed the plan. If Meta couldn't make AI-led downsizing work at that scale, are we overest…

The EU AI Act may become a global rulebook without other countries adopting it

The EU AI Act is usually discussed as a European compliance issue, but its larger impact may happen outside Europe. Global AI companies may find it cheaper to build around one demanding regulatory standard than maintain completely different systems for…

Would ChatGPT be more useful if it interrupted us more often?

Most AI assistants seem designed to complete the task with as little friction as possible. I’m starting to think that isn’t always helpful. If I ask ChatGPT to draft an important email, analyze a spreadsheet, or plan something complicated, it can often…

At what point does the AI buildout become a balance-sheet trap?

Big Tech keeps spending as if future AI demand is already guaranteed. Maybe that bet works. But the scale is starting to feel strange. These companies built some of the most profitable, asset-light businesses in history, and now they’re racing to turn …

Can countries really regulate AI if they don’t control the compute?

I keep hearing AI governance discussed as if every country is sitting at the same table with roughly the same amount of influence. But most countries don’t control the chips, cloud infrastructure, data centers, or frontier models they’re being asked to…

I’m starting to think AI can make you sound smarter without making you think better

I’ve been using AI regularly for a while, and lately I’ve noticed something that bothers me. It has become incredibly easy to produce a clear argument about almost anything. You can ask for the main points, the counterarguments, the risks, and the best…

The real bottleneck for AI agents may be proving who they are

AI agents are getting better at completing tasks, but I’m not convinced intelligence is the main thing holding them back anymore. The harder problem starts when an agent can send messages, approve purchases, move money, schedule work, or make decisions…

Everyone keeps asking if AI will replace people. I think we’re asking the wrong question.

For the last couple of years, the conversation has been almost entirely about replacing jobs. I’m starting to think that’s not the biggest shift. The bigger change may be that AI is quietly changing who gets to make decisions. When scheduling, pricing,…

AI agents may need an identity before they need more intelligence

We keep talking about what AI agents will soon be capable of doing: sending emails, moving money, making purchases, negotiating with other systems, and managing parts of a business. But capability might not be the real bottleneck. The harder question i…

When an AI agent makes a costly mistake, who is accountable?

AI agents are moving beyond simple chatbots. Some companies are beginning to use them for research, scheduling, customer support, reporting, and internal operations. The interesting question is not whether an AI agent can complete a task. It is w…
