Is AI Doom Going Out of Style?
4 mei 2026 · 27 min
Faint but converging signals suggest the AI doom narrative may finally be cracking — and they're showing up in the chattering class and the markets at the same time. This episode walks through the evidence: Ezra Klein's New York Times pushback on the AI job apocalypse, Alex Imas's scarcity framework, Atlassian's blowout earnings, and Sam Altman's rhetorical pivot from replacement to augmentation.

Why Agents Make Every Job a Startup
3 mei 2026 · 26 min
AI was supposed to save time, but agents have done something stranger — they've made the infinite backlog of everything you could be doing feel immediate and urgent, creating a mix of exhilaration and overwhelm that looks a lot like founding a startup. This episode unpacks why that's happening, what new constraints replace the old ones, and the new roles and organizational structures that will need to emerge to make the agentic era actually work.

The Week AI Grew Up
1 mei 2026 · 25 min
From GitHub's move to usage-based pricing to Anthropic's reported $900B raise to the White House blocking Mythos's government rollout, this week's stories all point to the same underlying shift — AI moving out of its startup era and into the era of critical infrastructure. A thematic weekly exploration of the meta-story the individual headlines were really telling, plus a closing detour into where OpenAI's Codex goblins came from. Lees meer

How Harness-as-a-Service Will Change Agents
30 april 2026 · 29 min
A new layer of AI infrastructure is emerging as Cursor, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Microsoft all push beyond models into the runtime environments that make agents useful. NLW explains why “harness-as-a-service” may become one of the defining categories of the agent era, how it changes what builders can create, and why the next wave of agentic apps may come from renting the runtime instead of assembling every piece from scratch. In the headlines: blowout AI earnings from Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta. Lees meer

The AI Subsidy Era is Over
28 april 2026 · 26 min
The AI discount is ending as agentic usage drives token consumption through the roof, forcing companies from GitHub to Anthropic to rethink pricing, limits, and compute access. NLW breaks down why usage-based billing is becoming inevitable, what it means for markets and job displacement, and how enterprises can adapt with cheaper models, cost audits, model bake-offs, escape-hatch architectures, and clearer AI cost scoreboards.

How DeepSeek V4 Connects to the US Power Grid
28 april 2026 · 25 min
Today's episode connects two stories that look unrelated on the surface — the White House invoking the Defense Production Act around US grid infrastructure, and DeepSeek's long-awaited V4 release. Together they point to a single conclusion, that energy has become the real frontline of the US-China AI competition. In the headlines: Google commits up to $40 billion to Anthropic, the AI trade roars back as hyperscalers push markets to new highs, and Nvidia becomes the first $5 trillion company. Lees meer

Where the Economy Thrives After AI
26 april 2026 · 30 min
A new economic argument suggests AI won’t simply wipe out work, but will shift value toward the parts of the economy where human presence, provenance, care, taste, and relationship matter most. NLW explores Alex Imas' case for a post-commodity economy, why automation may make relational work more valuable, and how the AI jobs debate is missing the question of what new demand gets unlocked when supply becomes abundant.

What I Learned Testing GPT-5.5
24 april 2026 · 37 min
GPT 5.5 is here, and the first reactions are split between benchmark dominance, coding debates, Anthropic comparisons, and questions about whether the upgrade will feel dramatic to everyday users.

How Headless Agents Will Change Work
24 april 2026 · 31 min
This week, Salesforce, OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google all made major moves toward "headless" software — platforms designed for agents rather than human users. The episode explores what this shift means for business models, the future of SaaS pricing, and who captures the value when agents become the primary consumers of enterprise tools. In the headlines: OpenAI triples its compute targets to 30 gigawatts, Google unveils separate TPU chips for training and inference, and Mistral may be joining forces with xAI. Lees meer

How Apple's AI Strategy Changes with a New CEO
21 april 2026 · 24 min
Apple's incoming CEO John Ternus inherits a company that some say brilliantly sat out the AI spending race and others say completely squandered its advantages.

How the Best Companies Use AI
20 april 2026 · 27 min
A deep dive into what separates the AI leaders from the laggers, drawing on the recent PwC study, McKinsey's AI Transformation Manifesto, George Sivulka's a16z essay on institutional vs. individual AI, and a close look at how Ramp built its internal AI system Glass. The throughline: leading companies treat AI as a growth and opportunity technology, and they build organizational systems that raise the floor for every employee rather than leaving people to figure it out alone.

AI Populism Turns Violent
15 april 2026 · 32 min
After multiple violent attacks on Sam Altman's home this weekend, the AI world erupted in debate over who bears responsibility — X-risk advocates, the media, or the industry itself. But the research on political violence suggests something bigger is happening, and that AI has become a perfect cauldron for economic grievance, perceived inequality, and a growing sense that democratic channels are blocked.

Harness Engineering 101
13 april 2026 · 25 min
We went from prompt engineering to context engineering, and now the discipline everyone in AI is talking about is harness engineering — designing the systems, tools, and context you put around a model so it can actually do real work. Today's episode is a primer on what harness engineering is, why it explains the strange convergence of every AI product into the same shape, and what Anthropic's new managed agents tell us about where it's all heading.

The New AI Org Chart
12 april 2026 · 28 min
Jack Dorsey and Sequoia's Roelof Botha published a sweeping essay arguing that AI can replace the information-routing function of hierarchy itself — and Block is betting the company on it. Today we read through their vision for the "company as intelligence," then compare it to the messy, bottom-up reality emerging at Every, where agents are already forming a shadow org chart. Lees meer

Why Enterprise AI Has a Leadership Problem
10 april 2026 · 27 min
New studies from A16Z, KPMG, Writer, and WalkMe paint a picture of enterprise AI that's simultaneously accelerating and breaking down — agentic deployment has crossed 50%, but trust gaps, employee resistance, and a 93/7 spending split between tools and people suggest the real bottleneck isn't technology. In the headlines: Wall Street moves past the SaaS apocalypse, Anthropic poaches top talent from Microsoft and Workday, and Intel partners with Elon on TeraFab. Lees meer

All of AI's New Models and Tools
9 april 2026 · 28 min
While much of the week's discourse centered on models we can't use yet, the rest of the AI industry shipped a ton. Meta reenters the frontier race with Muse Spark, Z.AI open sources a model rivaling the US leaders, Anthropic launches managed agents, and Google quietly drops one of its most useful Gemini updates yet. In the headlines: Perplexity's revenue doubling, GitHub straining under agentic coding, and Anthropic's latest setback in its Pentagon legal battle. Lees meer

Should We Be Scared of Anthropic's Mythos?
8 april 2026 · 32 min
Anthropic just announced Mythos, a model so powerful at finding cybersecurity exploits that they won't release it publicly — instead launching Project Glasswing to let select partners harden critical systems first. Today we unpack the capabilities, the discourse, and whether the fear is warranted. Lees meer

OpenAI's New Deal
8 april 2026 · 36 min
OpenAI released a sweeping policy document proposing everything from public wealth funds to portable benefits — but without a single commitment that would cost the company anything. We dig into what's worth discussing, what's window dressing, and why the AI industry's inability to make the case for its own existence is becoming a serious problem. In the headlines: Anthropic's revenue triples to a $30 billion run rate, a massive new Google-Broadcom compute deal, Gemma 4's breakout moment, and Meta's token maxing culture. Lees meer

How to Build a Personal Context Portfolio and MCP Server
3 april 2026 · 24 min
In today's Build episode, we tackle one of the most underappreciated friction points in the agentic era — the fact that every new agent, project, or tool requires you to re-explain yourself from scratch. We walk through how to create a personal context portfolio, a structured set of markdown files that acts as an operating manual for any AI you work with, and then how to deploy it as an MCP server so every agent can access it.

How AI Can Help Democracy Work Better

Stanford professor Andy Hall argues that instead of fixating on AI dystopia, we should be racing to build AI tools that make citizens smarter, represent them more faithfully, and force institutions to be more accountable. NLW reads key excerpts from Hall's essay and makes the case that agents built for governance, not just business, could reshape the relationship between people and power. Lees meer

Work AGI is the Only AGI that Matters
25 maart 2026 · 26 min
OpenAI is making its most dramatic strategic pivot yet — killing Sora, renaming its product team to "AGI Deployment," and narrowing Sam Altman's role — all to double down on coding and knowledge work. The message from every major lab is clear: forget the abstract AGI debate, the only AGI worth chasing is the one that reinvents how work gets done. In the headlines: IPO fever takes hold as SpaceX eyes a record-breaking offering, a pre-IPO AI ETF completely detaches from reality, and a federal judge takes the Pentagon to task over its fight with Anthropic.

The Coming AI Rules Battle
23 maart 2026 · 27 min
AI is rising faster than any other issue in American political polling, and the White House just dropped a legislative framework that's already drawing fire from both sides — populist right critics calling AI "profoundly anti-human" and Democrats saying voluntary standards won't cut it. The real question is whether this four-page opening move can hold the center as midterms approach and public anxiety about jobs keeps climbing. In the headlines: OpenAI plans to double its workforce with a major enterprise push, FedEx is training all 400,000 employees on AI, and Meta's internal agents are now talking to each other. Lees meer

Why AI Actually Won't Take Your Job
22 maart 2026 · 33 min
"Will AI take your job?" has become the dominant question in AI discourse — but it's the wrong one. From AI-washed layoffs to coding benchmarks that don't generalize, from human preference as a market force to capitalism's radically expansionary nature, there are plenty of reasons to push past the panic — and a whole set of better, harder questions we should be asking instead.

What People Really Want From AI
20 maart 2026 · 31 min
A new Anthropic study based on nearly 81,000 interviews offers a much more nuanced picture of what people actually want from AI: not some clean split between boosters and skeptics, but a messy mix of hope, anxiety, productivity gains, emotional complexity, and fears around reliability, autonomy, and jobs. NLW breaks down the biggest findings, why professional ambition and personal quality of life are so tightly linked in how people describe AI, and why dismissing the views of actual AI users is becoming its own kind of bias. In the headlines: AI brings Val Kilmer back for one final film role, Microsoft restructures Copilot again, and Anthropic’s Cowork Dispatch adds Claude Code sessions. Lees meer

How to Use Agent Skills
18 maart 2026 · 28 min
The team behind Claude Code's agent skills shares lessons on building, testing, and organizing skills — and the concept is converging across the entire AI stack, from hardcore developers to mainstream tools like Notion. Whether you're orchestrating multi-agent teams or just trying to get an AI to reliably do one task your way, skills represent a shift from ad hoc prompting to reusable, repeatable capabilities. In the headlines: Claude Cowork gets mobile control via Dispatch, China's government grows wary of Open Claw, and Andy Jassy sees AI doubling AWS revenue. Lees meer

The Race to Put AI Agents Everywhere

Q1 was defined by the realization that agents are here — Q2 is shaping up as an all-out race to make them enterprise-ready. From Nvidia's Nemo Claw adding security to Open Claw, to Manus and Adaptive launching desktop agents, to OpenAI's internal "code red" refocus on enterprise and coding, every major player is converging on the same goal: getting agents out of experimentation and into production. In the headlines: Jensen Huang forecasts a trillion dollars in Nvidia revenue, Meta signs a $27 billion deal with Nebius, and Chinese AI labs start keeping their best models closed source. Lees meer

A Guy Used AI to Cure His Dog's Cancer*
16 maart 2026 · 28 min

The Power to Shape AI
15 maart 2026 · 25 min
AI capabilities are compounding, disruption is rolling through markets and politics, and a growing chorus wants you to believe the only response is fear. But the narrative of learned helplessness — from scary ad campaigns with no policy ideas to moratoriums that miss the point — is more dangerous than the disruption itself, and the window to shape what AI becomes is still wide open.

Pro-Worker AI
13 maart 2026 · 28 min
A growing debate is emerging around how AI can expand human work instead of replacing it. This episode looks at the idea of “pro-worker AI,” the kinds of tools that augment expertise and create new tasks, and why the market hasn’t focused there yet—even as the opportunity becomes clearer. In the headlines: Meta delays its next model, Cursor seeks funding at a $50B valuation, Anthropic explores enterprise consulting, and new data shows 81% of doctors already use AI. Lees meer
