Jevon’s Paradox, 70s Hollywood Edition
Time was, they didn’t shoot a lot of film. Then, they started shooting a lot of film. Then, with digital cameras, they shot a lot of film. The editor became very important. So, like: what if same for AI? In the 70s, there was a rapid elimination of production constraints. Improvements in film cost and…

Design systems are much more valuable now
Design teams have spent years trying to get people to actually read their design system documentation. Agents read it every single time. Related, check out this discussion of how the design team at Tanzu works with AI. Plenty of design system talk there. 🔗 Design Systems for AI Agents

Blanket Bans on AI Writing Prematurely Stifle Necessary Experimentation
🤖 A critique of the blanket stigma against AI-assisted writing, arguing that distinguishing between personal expression and functional communication is necessary to allow the medium to mature. This is also under the categories of: Bad things are bad, good things are good. “Oh, you can write perfectly and get your ideas across so your don’t…

What Meta Muse needs to do to succeed in The Enterprise.
Muse gives Meta a strong starting point. It is a persistent agent that can perform tasks across applications rather than simply answer questions. Its early popularity also gives Meta something most enterprise AI vendors lack: users who may already understand the product before encountering it at work. But consumer adoption is not proof of enterprise…

Oh, those rascally rogue AIs!
As of September 26th OpenAI has informed more than 100 third-party organisations about unauthorised activity involving its AI agents. Related, not great for the AI companies: During a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Subcommittee on Disaster Management, District of Columbia and Census hearing on Wednesday, Chairman Josh Hawley, R-Mo., expressed concern about “the accelerating…

Management wants to fire you so, so bad
When “management” can figure out an ROI for a new technology, they default to firing your ass. AI/LLMs are by design anti-labor technology. The feverish pushing of LLM adoption by all levels of management is exemplary of this: You are not asked to use this tech because it will enable better work and ideas, but…

I don’t want your UI, just give me an API
AI agents have made many apps unnecessary. Oh, I still need the data or function from that app. But I never want to “see” it again. Drop the user interface. Go headless. Why am I still logging into a system three times a year to mark my vacation time? Or navigating multiple travel sites to…

funky lifestyle demos
I feel we’re coming to another plateau of decreasing returns, because even as models keep getting (arguably) smarter, what you can do with them beyond flashy demos hasn’t really gelled into useful outcomes yet. … AI is not going to be much help with that, other than remove toil (yes, it will sort out your…

Cloudflare says the agents will outnumber us a thousand to one
🤖: The economic argument underneath is more interesting than the usual crawler complaint. “If you ask your AI agent to suggest where you should go to lunch, it may survey 1,000 restaurant menus in the area only to suggest one. The one restaurant may get your business, but the other 999 had to shoulder the…

Wiley AI works around UN statistics portal API denials
An independent researcher has tied more than 16,000 scans of a United Nations statistics portal to artificial intelligence agents the researcher considers highly likely to have been run by OpenAI Group PBC. As summarized by another AI: What they did when told no is the interesting part. They built base64-encoded HTML forms on httpbin, fed…

FDEs help one customer solve problems, then kick that back into the platform for all customers
The FDE is a developer who ‘sits with’ their users, applies customizations – but importantly – feeds these changes back to the core platform to decide whether the platform should be enhanced for everyone else. And, from the OP: Keeping the customer happy is a real job and a good one. It belongs to solutions…

Subscriptionpocalypse
One other side note – as I was writing this, I started to realize how many businesses rely on consumers being lazy. Think about insurance – how often have I received a bill where the out of pocket was higher than expected. Or certain procedures wasn’t deemed “covered.” What I could do is get on…

🤖 AI Agents Still Need Frameworks to Prevent Unmaintainable Code
Original: Do Frameworks Matter Anymore? – Brooks Lybrand. Summarized by AI on September 25, 2026. Despite the rise of agentic programming and the belief that large language models render underlying code irrelevant, web frameworks remain essential because they provide necessary abstractions, structure, and constraints. If a developer does not provide an explicit framework, an AI…

“Sovereign cloud” means “not US owned cloud”
For the most part, “sovereign cloud” is a code word for “not running on US based clouds.” What most people skip is that the geography doesn’t matter. If your stuff runs on a US owned cloud, not matter where it actually runs, the US government can probably compel the cloud provider to get your data.…
