Less hype. More operating reality.
AI is going to change businesses, teams and jobs faster than most people are ready for. This is my public notebook for making sense of it, building through it, and turning noise into useful systems.

For years the job of a website was obvious.
Why I'm done renting my AI
Cloud AI is useful, but renting your intelligence is fragile. Local AI gives you a private, low-cost fallback that nobody can switch off.
Your AI agents do not need more freedom. They need rules
Most business owners are still asking the wrong AI question.
Fast notes from the messy middle of AI adoption.

Midjourney says it will announce its first hardware project at 6pm PT on June 17 from San Francisco. The details are still scarce, which is exactly why the signal is interesting.
GitHub is making persistent agent work native to software teams
GitHub Agentic Workflows is in public preview, Copilot Chat can now see past agent sessions, and the Copilot SDK is generally available. The developer stack is moving from chat prompts to persistent agent work.
The leaked OpenAI numbers are a brutal frontier-economics lesson
Reported leaked OpenAI 2025 financials point to about $13B of revenue against about $34B of spending, including roughly $10.6B paid to Microsoft for research and development expenses. The signal is frontier AI economics, not model hype.
