  Trump’s 60 Minutes interview following the midterms is remarkable for two reasons. He openly and calmly admits to massive corruption but also thinks ICE and his deportation agenda went too far. MAGA is melting down because of the latter but not the former. The racists have lost their hero.

  The audacity of AI CEOs, going on TV to say the technology they are building may or may not destroy humanity but definitely would make you unemployed in five years, will be studied for decades.

  The $6.3B Binance hack is wild. A Binance engineer was looking for a new job. North Korean hackers created a fake company, contacted him on LinkedIn and conducted two job interviews. Then they sent him a coding test containing malware. That helped them breach Binance and steal $6.3B in crypto. https://fortune.com/2026/11/03/binance-hack-details-linkedin/

  Can you imagine if Gmail or Outlook gave your manager a dashboard showing how much personal email employees send and labeled it an inefficiency? Can you imagine your manager getting scores for the complexity, value and effectiveness of your email conversations? That’s essentially what Anthropic is introducing with Claude Smart Reports. https://support.claude.com/en/articles/16893491-get-started-with-smart-reports

  Writers are reportedly removing em dashes and deliberately adding typos so AI detectors won’t accuse them of using AI. We’ve reached the point where people are making their writing worse to prove they wrote it themselves. Authors have already lost million-dollar book deals over disputed AI accusations. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2026-10-30/how-ai-detectors-like-pangram-are-changing-human-writing

  Both US political parties are increasingly frustrated with AI CEOs. They promise unprecedented prosperity but also warn of mass unemployment and catastrophic disasters from their own products. It’s hard to convince the public to embrace a technology when its creators keep warning them to fear it. https://www.axios.com/2026/10/24/ai-ceos-washington-political-liability

  Apollo’s chief economist finds that there is still no measurable impact of AI adoption on corporate America outside of big tech. Revenue per employee and profit margins are rising for the Magnificent Seven but flat for the other 493 S&P 500 companies. The AI industry is making money selling AI, but its customers aren’t yet seeing any payoff. https://www.apollo.com/wealth/insights-news/insights/daily-spark/no-signs-of-ai-payoff-outside-the-tech-sector

  Andy Jassy mentioned on an A16Z podcast that AWS cloud computing capacity is ​sold out through 2027, with ‌significant commitments extending into 2028, due to demand for AI services. Demand for AI continues to grow despite increasing skepticism from investors about the ROI of data centers build outs

  I’ve been thinking about this chart from Anthropic about code the pace of code changes going from 2.5K to 30K/day since May. Many developers instinctively will claim this is unsustainable but the question I’ve been asking myself is what if it isn’t? How do your product and users adapt to the pace?

  Anthropic reported $16.8B in quarterly revenue, up 50% from Q2, and its second consecutive quarter of adjusted profitability. Yet its investors are disappointed because growth is slowing and ARR is below expectations of $100B+. The revenue numbers are crazy but not crazy enough it seems.

  It’s funny how the GOP campaigned on making things worse including a 922 page project plan for how much worse they would make things yet people are surprised about how bad things are now.

  “We've seen internally in Meta cases where, if you can develop the right agentic loop and you have the right eval or the right metric for the agents to optimize, you can have a swarm of agents accomplish more than a team of 100 engineers” - Alexandr Wang, Chief AI Officer at Meta

  The AI bubble looks a lot like the dotcom bubble. • It’s clear the technology will change everything. • Massive adoption is a matter of when not if. • A lot of companies are spending a lot of money unprofitably and will crash spectacularly. • There will be big winners and It’s not yet clear who.

  AI companies: We’ve invented an unreliable guessing machine which sometimes doesn’t follow instructions. If you give it access to important systems it could kill us all. Also AI companies: Deploy this technology everywhere and replace your employees with it, otherwise China wins. IPO next month.

  I saw some people saying Meta’s Muse leaked someone’s address on Facebook Marketplace. The person worked with the Muse team to debug the issue. It turns out they did give Muse their address and permission to always act on their behalf but the gravity of the decision wasn’t clear enough to them

  Mathematicians and biologists used ChatGPT and Claude for their work only for those companies to later claim AI had discovered solutions to unsolved problems similar to their work. The concern that frontier labs will use your data to compete with you is sounding more like fact than fiction.

  Vercel’s AI Gateway data makes it hard to argue any AI lab has a durable moat. Anthropic fell from 84% → 37% of spend while OpenAI grew from 10% → 24%. Open-weight models grew from 1% → 29%, causing over half of Anthropic’s losses. Devs are increasingly willing to switch models when something better or cheaper arrives.

  The risk with the AI boom is many things need to go perfectly or the bubble pops. While AI skeptics expect the bubble to pop because demand for AI will evaporate, I doubt that’s likely. It’s more likely that mundane logistics issues like opposition to data centers set of a domino effect of failures.

  Reading this excerpt about working at Lovable and the celebration of people becoming Super ICs instead of managers, what’s left unspoken is that you don’t need as many managers if you stop hiring junior people and have senior people do the grunt work. No managers because no one needs managing.

  I’ve long noticed that people engage less if I post a link to a news story than a screenshot of it but assumed this was an algorithmic quirk of Threads. I hadn’t noticed the exact same thing happens on Bluesky as well but the data bears out. People simply engage with links less on social media.
