Iโ€™ve raised hybrid wolves and theyโ€™re a lot like AI. Both come from something that used to be wild. Thereโ€™s that first moment at the fence, when people see them. The breath stops. The body tenses. Something ancient recognizes what stands on the other side of the fence:

Picture a canyon where each sound echoes. At first, the echoes add depth, resonance, and layers of meaning. And what happens when the only sound entering that canyon is the echo itself? When echo feeds echo feeds echo until the original voice vanishes completely?

Thatโ€™s where we are with AI and human creativity. Manufacturing the juicy middle part - same as it ever was, same as it ever was. When it's on the edge that creativity erupts...

If Meta is like cigarettes for the mind, then... >>Meta settles social media addiction case with California, other states for $16.7 billion, quickly. Their AI algos are the hook. Attention the hold. Harvesting what we do. Have we been smoking Meta all this time?

Rob Bonta the California AG, summed up their business in 4 words. Hook. Hold. Harvest. Hide. (A marketer could have written that) I have 2: opt in. Meta hardly allows you to opt out.

That queasy 9 pm home-at-work check-in feeling. Fourteen apps open. Slack. Jira. Docs. CRM. Dashboards. Notes. None of them actually understand each other. You do. You became the thing that talks to them.

The controlled chaos isnโ€™t a bug. Itโ€™s the operating model. And now weโ€™re trying to use AI to quietly train humans to think like middleware. That feels backwards to me. (Working on the opposite direction now. AI native from the ground up feels different.)

I call it the orchestration layer for multi-agentic development. You call it Omadeus omadeus.com

There is a clear discrepancy in the reported Iran MOP numbers: claim is 7 B2s carried 2 MOPs each. Each Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bomb weighs about 30,000 pounds. The B-2 Spirit bomber's maximum internal payload capacity is 40,000 pounds.

Two MOPs would weigh 60,000 pounds, which exceeds the B-2's payload capacity by 20,000 pounds. This means that, based on the official specifications, a B-2 cannot carry two MOP bombs at once. The math does not support the claim that each B-2 dropped two MOPs in a single sortie.

If 14 MOPs were dropped, it would require at least 14 B-2 sorties (one MOP per plane per sortie), or possibly more aircraft, not 7 B-2s carrying two each. The widely reported claim that each B-2 carried two MOPs is not supported by the known weight and payload limits.

AI Fair use turned down for Ultraman in China, kinda like the Thomson Reuters decision a few weeks back? Meanwhile Japan's AI gets copyrightable content legally. #AICopyright #JapanAI #Ultraman #CopyrightLaw #ArtificialIntelligence #TechnologyLaw #AIandCopyright

Japan's 2 AI Copyright keys that make protect AI creators when allowing all copyrightable material in Japan to train AI, only train....not output. #AIandCopyright #JapaneseCopyrightLaw

In a world where AI quietly shapes our daily lives, artists and engineers are speaking different languages about creativity's future. What if copyright isn't just a battleground, but a bridge to ensure both human ingenuity and AI can thrive?

That moment when the noise dies down and we focus on building tools creating value. I get excited about when AI feels as natural as using your smartphone. When the "AI experts" stop gatekeeping, and regular business owners start using these tools to compete with the big players

The opportunity isn't the hype wave - it's being ready for the moment AI becomes as ordinary and powerful as electricity. What about you - what would make AI actually (more) useful in your daily work?
