Places you Never Want To Go but Want to Know What’s Going On: In a world where the flow of information outpaces our ability to process it, AI-powered curators can emerge as our lifeboats. By filtering out the noise and prioritizing what matters most, these agents could redefine how we consume content. So long as they're only working for us.

Generative UIs Shift Paradigms: Imagine interfaces that adapt in real time to your needs—offering tools tailored to your immediate goals rather than static menus. Generative UIs could transform everything from gaming to productivity software, creating more intuitive and fluid human-AI interactions.

When bots misstep: As AI agents take on more tasks independently, questions of responsibility arise. If an agent makes a decision with harmful consequences, who’s liable—the creator, the user, or the agent itself? The legal and ethical frameworks of today's are feeling increasingly antiquated

Simulating serendipity: The shift to AI-driven drug discovery raises a big question: can algorithms replicate the instincts of great scientists? While simulations and vast datasets accelerate breakthroughs, there’s an art to connecting disparate dots—an art that may prove harder to encode than we think.

Code meets biology: Advancements in AI and software are lowering the barriers to entry in biotech, empowering founders with non-traditional backgrounds to innovate. Tools like DNA synthesis and virtualized experiments are turning what was once the domain of seasoned scientists into a playground for coders. The implications for healthcare and drug development could be profound.

The Sweet Spot for Micropayments: Micropayments excel when costs and value are predictable—like paying for storage, computation, or inference near marginal energy costs. But they falter in uncertain scenarios, like pricing an answer without clear quality metrics. Bundling solutions often bridge the gap, delivering value on average. The challenge? Pricing for personalization remains an open problem, demanding innovative intermediaries or future zero-knowledge breakthroughs.

Decentralized AI, Decentralized Power: The recent decentralized training of a 10-billion-parameter model demonstrates a scalable, collaborative approach to AI development. By pooling resources globally, this method enables diverse stakeholders to participate while reducing data privacy risks. Decentralization is critical to breaking the dominance of a few large companies, fostering a more competitive and equitable AI market.

Healthier Digital Habits with AI: We’ve been talking a lot recently about tools for digital detox. One counterintuitive thread is that AI could actually become an ally. It can transform screens into tools for intentional productivity rather than distraction, helping us find what we need faster while nudging us away from unproductive habits. This is possible because It has a different business model and different incentives than the ad based web we know today. Of course, that will only stay true if....

Your Health, Your Data: HIPAA grants patients the right to access and transfer their health data, but this right is often underutilized. AI agents could change that by streamlining the collection and organization of medical records, making data portability a practical reality. Acting as advocates, these agents would empower patients to take rightful ownership of their health information, enabling better decisions and shifting power in healthcare toward individuals.

The Need for Remutualization: Co-op models once anchored essential services—like health insurance and utilities—firmly in local hands. Today, crypto protocols can revive that trust, embedding transparent governance and shared incentives directly in code. By removing gatekeepers and intermediaries, communities can shape and refine their own rules over time. The result is a radical reimagining that ensures equity, accountability, and resilience define how we deliver these critical systems.
