{Some crazy-town stuff in here, but interesting and probably, mostly, correct. -Coté} Human writers may soon craft words primarily for AI rather than other humans, as large language models increasingly consume, interpret, and influence the world’s text. The essay explores the strange idea that “writing for AI” could grant influence over future superintelligence—or even a form of digital immortality. Summarized by AI.

People who maintain a more optimistic outlook tend to live longer and are more likely to reach “exceptional longevity,” defined as surviving to 85 or beyond. Drawing on data from over 69,000 women and 1,400 men, researchers found optimism’s benefits persisted even when accounting for health conditions, depression, and lifestyle habits. Summarized by AI.

Developers are embracing AI coding tools to accelerate software creation, but the resulting security landscape is increasingly complex. While AI can detect threats and debug code, relying on it exclusively creates a recursive loop where the same AI that writes code may also incorrectly validate or approve it. Summarized by AI. Source summarized: Shifting Security Left with AI — Is It Truly AI-Assisted Security, or an Infinite Loop?. Key Points 49% of developers now use AI regularly for coding-related tasks, with 73% saving up to four hours per week.

Europe’s prosperity is stagnating because the EU has strayed from its core mission: a functioning internal market that drives economic growth and innovation. This manifesto argues for a renaissance built on enforcing market rules, enabling creative destruction, and cutting regulatory dead weight. Summarized by AI. Source summarized: The Constitution of Innovation: A New European Renaissance. Key Points Refocus the EU on core economic functions: customs union, internal market, eurozone monetary policy, and common trade policy.

Summarized by AI. The article explores how defense and enterprise organizations are evolving from traditional, static compliance frameworks toward continuous, automated, and intelligence-driven security models. It traces the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) cybersecurity governance evolution–from DITSCAP in 1997 to the newly announced Cyber Security Risk Management Construct (CSRMC) in 2025–and argues that this shift is essential for organizations facing accelerated innovation cycles. The piece concludes by showing how VMware Tanzu Platform enables this new paradigm of “continuous compliance” through automation, visibility, and DevSecOps alignment.

The iterative design process for the Mac calculator app highlights the challenges of executive feedback and suggests that executives should use AI to better articulate their visions.

The most common use case for agentic AI is customer service, according to 75% of banks surveyed by Capgemini. Nearly two-thirds use the technology for fraud detection, while 3 in 5 use it for loan processing and customer onboarding. Also, 84% of apps/uses are built in house: BNY developed its AI agents in-house, which one-third of banks also reported doing in the Capgemini report. Only 16% reported buying AI agents off-the-shelf.
