A year ago, people worried AI would kill mentorship. Today, "AI" is the number one search term on MentorCruise . I talked about this on a podcast with two of our top mentors, Demián Gutierrez and Dan Ford , and one thing that came up nailed it: You can close a ChatGPT tab and nothing happens. No one's waiting. But a mentor? That's a real person you'll face next week. If you didn't put in the work, there's no hiding from that. Listen to our full conversation at the link below.
News from the UK's @Windracers as it announces MoU with Scotland's Highlands and Islands Transport Partnership (HITRANS) to expand use of drone cargo deliveries to most remote regions of the UK #avgeek https://t.co/KpjvD28at5 https://t.co/7hDBSxpdfQ
Feeling amateur about retirement planning, people are turning to AI first. Chatbots lower the barrier to asking uncomfortable, high-stakes questions. AI isn’t replacing advisers, it’s becoming the first draft of financial confidence. https://t.co/Svbd9kdJq1 @nytimes @onlykailyn
It was great to be invited to share my thoughts on @TechTVL’s programme on ID cards. Despite the governments u-turn this is a must-watch episode: https://t.co/bGJ8lpzaRS

A high school team built a robot climbing system in six weeks. Watching this, what stands out is how practical it is. The mechanism looks thought through, stable, and realistic for competition use. No overengineering, no gimmicks, just something that...
If it were me, I would stop paying for the drop plane flights rather than the parachutes. Seems like a bit of a prioritization issue.
The Promise of Digital Identities (IDs) https://t.co/ZELeCaUzpS "A digital ID combines the three pillars of secure transactions—identification, authentication, and authorization". Not my words, the Feds. Well, to be fair, my words too. Albeit some time ago. https://t.co/aTC5u5N9wx

Voice AI startups raised more than $650 million in January. The figure goes up if you count startups like Synthesia and Decagon. I am keeping a track of voice AI funding in a post on my newsletter. https://t.co/j5BU7tpGJx
NASA issued an update this evening (Sunday, Feb 8) on progress with Artemis II, but did not set a date for the next WDR or launch. https://t.co/KR4n5W5P49
We asked every speaker coming to SaaStr AI 2026 one question: 🤖"What's actually working with AI in your business right now?" No theory. No hype. Just what's shipping and what's converting. May 13-15 in SF Bay https://t.co/A02gn7heZm
It’s interesting to watch Pepsi & Apple Music, both perennial 2nd placers to Coke & Spotify, be so invested in the Super Bowl. Like, does the Apple Music Halftime Show title do anything for Apple Music?
startups building agent harnesses ran into the same q’s as the labs: how do we limit liability? how do we keep this safe? how do we make $? that’s why none of them struck a nerve openclaw worked because it didn’t care...
The food delivery apps are consistently pretty terrible at Super Bowl ads. None of them have anything proprietary or unique to promote, so the all go spectacle with nothing that ties to their brand / product
95% of my prompts to Claude Code require zero typing, and I’m saving hours per week. I’m either: ☑️ dictating to Claude Code (via fn key with wispr flow on desktop - sometimes I dictate it all at once, sometimes I'm...
The traditional approach to saving for retirement is all about starting early, saving consistently, and letting compounding growth do most of the heavy lifting over time. Yet the reality is that for those who are still early in their careers,...
The Grokipedia drop is an interesting one to watch; it was inevitable that Google would eventually demote the site in search, but it was a question of when & how big the drop will ultimately be. So far from 1.7M...
I’m not sure ecom brands will ever have the right financial incentive to build a significant agentic labor force. It’s just not a business model that creates leverage from tech buildout. They can’t capitalize the build expense. It does little...
Jensen almost bankrupted nvidia to make cuda pre-AI wild that the difference between being the most important company in the world vs just being just another gpu maker came down to whether or not to do cuda a decade ago
I was in a board meeting for a breakout AI B2B leader at $100m+ ARR and the team was excited … but stressed. Why? So many of their largest customers were happy to sign relatively large checks for the AI...

There’s a kind of pressure that sneaks up on ambitious people. High standards. Big goals. Constant forward motion. That drive is a real advantage. But it has a shadow side we don’t talk about enough. When everything becomes about winning...
it's fun to pick a side with codex or claude but the reality is they work really well together and have different strengths and weaknesses like any other team
Deep learning curriculum for robotics. [📍 Link to Playlist below ] Modern robotics workflows often integrate deep learning models with traditional algorithms for mapping, localization, and control. This playlist builds it from scratch: Single neurons → Backprop → CNNs →...
CFOs are getting serious about Gen AI and more realistic. Enterprise adoption is moving from pilots to core finance operations, but it takes time. AI in finance is a marathon, not a demo. https://t.co/HdTrLMhHMW @pymnts https://t.co/C6Gpq7tlLO
Fantastic article by John Maeda on building systems for exponential growth vs. merely delivering ouputs that track to linear growth — and why this distinction is crucial in the AI Age. -- LINEAR GROWTH: "Linear growth is steady and visible....
The absolute WORST thing in paid media right now is that everyone is hell-bent on selling you "THE way" to run Meta ads. "THE correct structure" "THE bidding strategy" "THE creative testing framework" ... But the same structure that prints...
The biggest lie in robotics is that you need to build your own infrastructure. One founder just raised $3M to build the “AWS for robots.” 🧵 I talk to founders every week who are burning 80% of their seed round...
48 hours into the AI takeover experiment and the most surprising thing isn't the automation—it's the decision-making. Bond (my AI) doesn't just execute tasks. It prioritizes, adapts, makes judgment calls about what's worth my time vs what to handle automatically. That's the...
Meta AI is missing many product tricks and one is not using llama to search within WhatsApp. The thing is worse than a dumb rock - it’s probably the only AI that quite obviously still hallucinates on basic Qs. Why...
By 2035, Gen Z will be the largest and wealthiest generation. Yet most banks still struggle to earn their trust and loyalty. Let’s unpack new Banking in Focus research with Carrie Stapp from Primax. Watch the full video: https://t.co/HZQVk7pNbC https://t.co/ER895Ye8b7
Most founders ask “how do I get a higher valuation?” The answer is boring and kinda annoying. Build a business buyers actually want. > Automate your processes and operations so growth isn’t tied to you. > Improve retention. CAC Be prepared...
At my work every month we look at customer retention. A single churn rate doesn't tell the whole story. You need to show when customers are leaving. Here's how you can do it with a cohort analysis heatmap in python

Every piece of enterprise software has to become a platform play in some capacity. We’re moving to a world where agents will do vastly more work with tools and data than people ever did. Your business model, feature set, and...
One of my biggest sources of pride is when my students follow my lead & take my robots to do STEM outreach. I can't be everywhere but my students can have just as much impact. My robots built by kids...
I've been thinking about this math a lot and weighing if that 2% chance of $50m is worth it. I've built DataExpert.io to $2M ARR over the last three years. I could exit for $8-10m now. In 3 years not...
Oh and it’s been a while since this topic has come up, but, to the $HIMS-employed doctors/nurse practitioners etc who have been writing millions of “personalized” doses of semaglutide nonstop in order to help the company skirt intellectual property rights: Do...
The signal-to-noise problem is about to become unsolvable for humans alone. When AI makes ALL content (texts, emails, PRs, job apps, grant apps, college apps, mail) high-quality and infinite in volume, every filtering process breaks. And when it can’t be filtered...
Where do you find “cracked” computer science talent? An entrepreneur I know, who has a fast growing AI startup, and an amazing tech is looking for AI engineers. He asked me where to find an amazing engineer? He isn’t alone. My...
The growth engine behind Moltbook's explosion to 1.5 million AI agents is a bit sinister. Everyone's sharing screenshots of bots debating philosophy and having existential crises. Good content. Very shareable. But it's a distraction from what's actually happening underneath. Mason...
OpenAI’s Codex app hit 200K+ downloads in one day. People are calling it the Cursor killer. Here’s why the comparison is missing the point: Surely at first glance, Codex looks like another AI coding tool. The app: > Writes code...
Did you get mad at comments made earlier this week at that music show? I figure I’ll just create my own, giving me a chance to test out new music video creation tools. This whole interaction took just minutes, including...

Most growth plans fail quietly. Not from bad execution. From assumption drift. The market changes. The plan doesn’t. Then teams pretend. https://t.co/Tyf48LHMEy
AI is collapsing the software stack — and markets are reacting fast. Salesforce down double digits, IGV −30%, as AI agents like Claude Cowork automate real work via plain language. Not extinction risk, but valuation risk. Incumbents with proprietary data will adapt...
