Devs will “cash in” AI gains as time. Dax Raad(@thdxr), creator of OpenCode, on the incentive problem most companies are ignoring: “We forget how big the software engineering industry is. Every company in the world employs software engineers to some degree. The majority of these environments aren't like the most motivating, exciting environments. Most people there are trying to do their job, go home to their kids, have a reasonable life. You give them a button that lets them do their work faster. The natural place for them to go is to hit that button as much as possible, do the same amount of work and just cash in that extra time, right? Which makes total sense. If you have no reason to be above and beyond motivated, you're not going to really use that to push your organization harder. Yeah, these tools may make you more productive, but be really realistic about your employees. Where are they going to cash in those gains? Obviously some companies are not like that. Employees are motivated. They have good reason to be. They're compensated in a way that makes sense, but most places aren't like that. The problem with that is usually in those environments there will be a couple people that are irrationally motivated because they love the work they do, et cetera, even though the rest of the company isn't as motivated. They're usually the ones that are trying to make sure everything is good quality, trying to push everyone to try harder. They're all now overwhelmed by slop PRs. And we've had a few people on our team that have joined and their previous company was like this. They were the person that still cared. The rest of the organization just hits the button and gets their tasks done and they're drowning in just garbage and they're getting burnt out and they're leaving.”

AI is leaning hard into Home. This is exactly what I expected.

I keep coming back to the smart glasses product category and a potential Apple release, yet I haven’t found good reasons to address the following: 1. Glasses are great for specific use cases only, e.g. POV photos & videos, maybe navigation, maybe corporate environments, military and hopefully health and care. The mainstream market is not big enough. 2. Glasses are personal, they change one’s appearance – vanity is real. From the first pair of correction glasses in the 13th century until today there have been millions of designs and styles. I’m not even counting sun glasses. It’s extremely hard to imagine everyone wearing the same glasses.

Your doctor's records tell part of the story. Your DNA tells another. What you report about your daily life helps fill in the rest. At STAT 2026, 23andMe Research Institute CEO Anne Wojcicki made the case for why none of those data sources is enough on its own, and why bringing them together is what makes predictive, personalized health possible. "Pulling in medical records fills a really essential gap for us. The goal is to combine medical records, genetics, and self-report data — where people continuously update how they're doing, what's in their environment — and give people a truly accurate picture of what actions they should take and what's in their future," Anne said on stage. 23andMe's beta program is putting that vision into practice, using AI to surface what your data, combined, actually means for your health.

the vaguely pbs kids inspirational tone that new ai release videos take has stopped being appropriate I think. this is no longer like carl sagan explaining the rings of Saturn. there is something more dark techno promethean about it, faustian even

If Steve Jobs were still alive, he would have the moral authority to face and maybe even to solve this problem. But I doubt anyone in the phone business now does.

I’m not saying “no design.” I’m saying most apps can get away with just nailing the fundamentals. Not every app needs layers of “visual expression,” motion, personality, or over-design-engineering in pursuit of delight. What really matters when you want to get work done are: speed, obvious UX, good defaults, clear behavior. That works every time. The interface design should stay out of the way. I’m arguing for “design is how it works.” Do this first. I don’t want to notice your UI. I want to see my content.
