In an era of rapidly evolving technology, we need to decouple *jobs* from *identity.*. Instead of asking kids “what do you want to be when you grow up?”, ask them what problems they want to solve, what skills they hope to learn and what creative ways they hope to change the

My latest Substack:

But who is taking the lead on this? We have heard plenty about AI from political leaders, from national security to boosting GDP. But when it comes to what AI is doing to our brains, our jobs, and economic mobility, it has been mostly crickets. The irony is that a generation that.

We have to engineer a new system, both in schools and in lifelong learning, that forces us to learn in harder ways, sometimes without AI and sometimes with it.

So what do we do?. We have to engineer cognitive friction in the loop. Raising the bar can’t just mean sprinkling AI on old tasks, or refusing to use it at all. AI is now a general-purpose technology, like the internet. Those who learn how to leverage it while strengthening.

What is AI doing to our brains?!. A great cognitive divide could be unfolding. Studies are starting to show the more we lean on AI, the more it erodes our cognitive capacity. If we don’t act, most of us will end up on the wrong side of it.

Vibe coding in biology is going to be insane.

My latest Substack on Apple’s slow progression towards a world with smart glasses

Apple is slowly preparing us for a post-iPhone world. Think about what Liquid Glass actually entails: messages and notifications that are now semi-transparent and seem to shift or hover on your screen. Apple described it as making displays feel more alive and more natural. It.

The @Apple hint everyone missed. Apple is betting on what’s next and training us for it

RT @azeem: AI is now writing 90-95% of the code at Anthropic for products like Claude Code. This is a complete reimagining of how software….

We can see the investments by the biggest smartphone providers themselves, willing to cannibalize their own smartphone revenue (although smartphones are now in the cash cow quadrant), to bet on what’s next. Google and (reportedly) Apple seem to be going the way of smart glasses.

Historically speaking, our communication infrastructure has always evolved: pay phones to home phones to pagers to flip phones to smartphones. There is no reason that evolution randomly ceases to continue. But perhaps most compellingly, we can see the investments by the biggest.

The rise of AI as a general-purpose technology, and AI agents that will be taking action on our behalf, means we could slowly move away from “humans” doing the “doing” on the web, and toward an agent-first web.

Smartphones and the Internet (as we currently know it) will eventually go away. An agent-first world changes what we need from our devices and how much we need to look at screens. Which changes who and what will need to be on the Internet in its current form.

Demis Hassabis just said reaching AGI will require more breakthroughs beyond the current LLM architecture approach. He said Google is currently working on “what’s next”.

Me in 2020: AI will eventually allow us to see ourselves as the models in the clothes we are shopping for. Google in 2025:
