I had similar takeaways to @satyanadella below after the @HumanXCo conference in my April 15 piece HumanX 2026 AI Conference Takeaways: The Gap Is Widening. "There are now two types of companies in the world: The first treats headcount AND agentic workflows token usage/optimization as equally important inputs into how the business runs. The second is still in discovery, without a real AI strategy. The gap between them is widening by the quarter."

No matter what kind of company you are...start making your internal company data legible to AI. Today. As a founder, you are essentially building two versions of your company: the one humans work in and the digital twin that AI agents navigate to do the heavy lifting for you.

Reflecting on the @jobyaviation S4 EVTOL test flight yesterday… awesome to witness. Check my video to see POV. Quieter w/ less vibration, no exhaust, better cabin layout will be amazing. And for airport xfers? Blade takes less time than just getting into the Holland Tunnel.

Important to note that some additional sound heard in the first video came from the escorting (and filming) helicopter. Side note: learned that this heliport where Blade operates now has been here since 1956!

Purposeful friction can be wonderful.
A consumer software rule that has proven pretty true over the past decade: The more slick the onboarding, the further from PMF Why? More beautiful flow typically = more setup needed from the user Consumers need to be able to pick up and use a product - they have no patience!

It’s a bot make bot world out there.
This was an incredible moment for me because of what it taught me. He showed me what looked like a chip schematic. Me: “what chip is this?” Elon: “this is not a chip. It’s the factory layout. It’s a machine that makes machines.” I’ve taken that with me ever since.

Right back at you, @CeoOndas 🤖

🚨 BREAKING: Amazon has officially acquired New York-based Fauna Robotics, the startup behind the soft-bodied Sprout humanoid. While Amazon has aggressively pursued automation in its fulfillment centers, this acquisition signals a massive escalation in the race for the consumer home market. Sprout is a bipedal robot designed specifically for the "messy reality" of shared human spaces.

Robotics is on track to become the largest "industry of industries" as we enter a bots-making-bots world. Talked @OndasHoldings and more with @KellyCNBC on @CNBC this week. Autonomous systems are moving from digital to physical, and the investment implications are massive.

This might be one of the wildest Google Trends ever. Don't agree? Drop an even crazier one (present day, not historical)

It should be illegal to not have power outlets on planes in 2026.

Save this for later: AI agents are going to break every perk (and subsequently delete most) that exist on an “expected friction” basis that depend on added complexity to max out perks. Eg credit card perks, etc.

To be clear about what this depicts: An immigration officer threw a woman onto the ground. Alex Pretti, a registered nurse on scene as a legal observer, is filming and goes to help the woman up. He is then pepper sprayed and thrown to the ground for no discernible reason. Many officer surround and assault him; one removes his firearm, which police say appears to have been legally registered. They then execute him with a hail of bullets. They are, objectively speaking, both cowards and criminals, while Pretti is what we teach people an American ought to be.

So the obvious workaround to this is just ask it to agenticly create a new entity when monthly ARR hits $20M and keep going ad-infinitum.
"Modified MIT" license: "You are not authorized to exercise any rights under this license if the global consolidated monthly revenue of your company (or that of your employer) exceeds $20 million…"

Can confirm… It’s more than real. Great demo @KyberLabsRobots ! And thanks @southpkcommons for hosting!
Our hand rotates a nut on a bolt at super high speed, fully in real time with no edits. This is possible because it’s fully backdrivable and torque transparent so it adapts naturally to the nut. The result is simpler, more reliable manipulation for software and learning systems.
