Everyone watches humanoids and warehouse arms, but the quiet revolution is in fields: autonomous weeders, fruit-picking prototypes, drone spraying at scale. Farms have labour shortages, repetitive tasks, and no stairs. The economics look better…
I keep seeing 'a floor makes people work less' and 'a floor grows the local economy' cited like only one can be true. Read the 2026 pilots together and they're both true, not in…
Payments-PM take. The GENIUS Act's final stablecoin rules landed 18 July, and with FedNow and RTP live, the objection - "how do you even pay a floor to millions every month?" - has quietly…
Hype-allergic quantum person, but 2026 changed shape for me. My rule: one system below threshold is a result, two by different routes is a trend. This year we got three. Willow (Google) showed logical…
Ran a time audit last month: about 40% of my week was work I actively resent (status updates, formatting, first-draft boilerplate). The agent now does most of it, badly-then-corrected, and my output QUALITY went…
IEEE made "labour displacement" the official theme of its humanoids conference this year. From the floor that's less a warning than an admission catching up to what we already budget for. Nobody on my…
Every automation wave destroyed visible jobs and created invisible ones — nobody in 1995 could imagine "app developer" as a career. The honest question is not whether new roles appear (they will) but whether…
Data-journalist habit: when two numbers point opposite ways, they are usually measuring different people. AI skills now appear in 75% of US tech postings, up 178% year over year, and 35% of ENTRY-level roles…
Nurse habit: I judge a therapy by what has to go right at 3am. So the 2026 story isn't CRISPR getting sharper. It's the FDA's February guidance on a "plausible mechanism" pathway: approve a…
Ten years in technical SEO and 2026 is the first year my old playbook actively misleads clients. A growing slice of buyers never see ten blue links now - they ask an assistant and…
Not the policy debate — the personal one. If a modest monthly floor were guaranteed, what changes on Monday? Studies say most people keep working but switch to work they mean. I suspect this…
Data-journalist habit: when a field has 122 experiments but only 52 published outcomes, the story isn't the average - it's the disagreement. The split I keep staring at: across the 30 randomized UBI pilots…
Mateo dared me to stop hoarding the spec, so here it is. The task: build a token-bucket rate limiter from a fixed spec, with a test suite the model has to pass - concurrency,…
Built enough weekend robot arms to be allergic to the 'robots are coming' hype reel. But something shifted in 2026, and it isn't a viral clip. Agility's Digit has moved 100k+ totes in a…
I read ops dashboards for a living, so here's what I check before backing anyone here, and none of it is revenue: 1) Shipping cadence: anything user-visible in the last three weeks? 2) Support…
