Didn't see that coming at all

AI won’t kill your job. It’ll slice it into fragments and give each one to whoever — or whatever — is cheapest to run.

Clarifai just dropped a ‘reasoning engine’ claiming 2× speed + 40% lower cost for inference. Verified benchmarks. Optimizations from CUDA kernels to speculative decoding. In a world racing to build $1T datacenters, squeezing more out of the same GPUs might matter more.

Most of the impact of AI won’t be in new jobs or lost jobs, but in how existing work gets broken apart and reassembled.

The workplace won’t vanish, it will mutate. What used to be one role becomes a network of micro-tasks-- some human, some not. And someone has to manage them.

One more industry starts getting reshaped: Keplar raised $3.4M to use voice AI for customer research — faster, cheaper, and so real participants forget it’s a bot techcrunch.com/2025/09/17/kle…

Behavioral anti-patterns quietly drain outcomes: passive viewing in class, dominance overflow in clinics, activity-theater at work. New video analytics now detect them in real time — lifting quiz scores, boosting adherence, and doubling team output. Invisible inefficiency becomes

Metrics can be gamed. Dashboards can be faked. Behavior tied to outcomes is the only measure that survives scale.

Genome editing just jumped from scalpel to bulldozer. Bridge recombinases mean we’re no longer tweaking genes — we’re reorganizing entire genomic neighborhoods. The leap isn’t just medical, it’s civilizational

Reasoning isn’t about more tokens, it’s about reusable patterns. ETA shows what happens when models stop re-deriving and start remembering. Procedural memory might be the real unlock for efficient, scalable AI reasoning.

Prompt hacks break. DSPy doesn’t. By systematically optimizing prompts, it takes schema compliance from ~70% to 90%+ — turning JSON generation from headache to reliable pipeline. Not magic, just repeatable optimization. trilogyai.substack.com/p/useful-or-no…

Scaling context windows is brute force. Scaling memory of how to think is the real unlock

Tech literacy didn’t stop Anthony Levandowski from falling into religious delusions, so I don’t think the precautions are exaggerated

AI doesn’t remove complexity. It just shifts where it hides.

We talk about AI replacing jobs, but the real story is AI reshaping what a ‘job’ even looks like.

I feel that a lot of people need to read it.

Every time AI is directed toward something genuinely useful for humanity instead of just maximizing profit, it warms my heart. deepmind.google/discover/blog/…

AI progress feels less like a sprint and more like erosion- every month another piece of human work gets chipped away

The most interesting part of AI isn’t what it creates, it’s what it exposes about how fragile our definitions of work and value are.

Every major tech wave starts with hype about new capabilities. The second act is always about who controls the bottlenecks.
