Recent briefings

  • September 12, 2026 · afternoon

    Every story worth reading this afternoon is about who keeps the record of what a company did, and in each case the only copy belonged to the party being judged.

  • September 12, 2026 · morning

    Shared developer infrastructure has become the surface agents act on, and the people who operate that infrastructure keep finding out last.

  • September 11, 2026 · afternoon

    Today's loudest AI stories are all outside parties re-running somebody else's headline number and publishing the smaller one.

  • September 11, 2026 · morning

    The harness stopped being scaffolding you write and became the product vendors sell, which means the layer that decides how your agent behaves is now the layer you no longer control.

  • September 10, 2026 · afternoon

    Cheap capability has retired every control that was secretly a bet on scarcity, and most of today's launches are replacements for one of those bets.

  • September 10, 2026 · morning

    Every headline number this morning is a price, and in each case the party quoting it is the party with the most to gain from it sounding small.

  • September 9, 2026 · afternoon

    Today's launches all narrow what an agent is allowed to be, a named caller or a two-megabyte task instead of a general capability, while the day's biggest story is a lab pointing the same attribution machinery outward at people.

  • September 9, 2026 · morning

    The most useful numbers published in the last 24 hours are the ones that name where a thing stops working, and the people publishing them are the ones who gain least from saying so.
