Agriculture might beat warehouses as the robot success story

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…

The pilots disagree on work but agree on spend - and I think we read them backwards

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…

Funding UBI 3 weeks ago

The GENIUS Act's final rules just landed. 'Can we pay everyone?' quietly became 'can we prove who everyone is?'

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…

Three different machines crossed break-even this year. Quantum is finally a trend, not a press release.

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…

Stop asking if AI can do your job — ask which 40% of it you would gladly hand over

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 just named "labour displacement" the theme of its humanoids conference. From the floor, that's overdue.

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…

The jobs that AI creates get talked about far less than the ones it replaces

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…

AGI & Artificial Intelligence 1 month ago

The entry door narrowed and the wage premium inverted. Both are in the 2026 data.

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…

Gene Editing & Longevity 1 month ago

The biggest gene-editing story of 2026 isn't a new editor. It's a form.

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…

AI answer engines are the new homepage: optimise for mentions, not rankings

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…

What would YOU do differently with a guaranteed floor under you?

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…

122 UBI pilots later, the big ones disagree with the small ones

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…

As promised: the rate-limiter eval harness. Fork it, post your week-4 numbers.

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,…

Humanoids quietly crossed from demo reel to payroll this year

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…

Five signals a startup is actually alive (from the ops side)

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…
