Loophole is not interesting because it solves ethics. It is interesting because it treats moral principles like something you can draft, attack, patch, and escalate until the real conflicts in your values finally surface.

Attio, Linear, and PostHog are converging on the same product bet: one fixed dashboard cannot serve every user or every intent, so the SaaS homepage is shifting toward an agentic entry point. Chat is the router. Generative UI is what comes next.

The next real step for agents is not just more subagents inside one product. It is genuine multi-agent runtime across different harnesses, using paired review loops, handoffs, shared threads, and open protocols such as A2A.

As of March 24, 2026, the biggest divide in mobile AI coding is not provider branding. It is whether your phone is steering a session running on your own machine or watching cloud agents work somewhere else.

Claude Code autonomy is not one trick. It starts with permission friction and context hygiene, then moves through subagents and loop hooks, and becomes genuinely useful when the system can measure whether the last iteration actually improved the work.

The newest memory systems do not make language models inherently stateful. They build recall, updates, and temporal reasoning around the model instead. Gemini Embedding 2 is the first mass-scale vector embedding that is multimodal.

The most useful way to understand AI progress isn't by tracking model names. It's by tracking the operating model: from chatbots that only talk to systems that can plan, act, coordinate, and increasingly sit across software.

AI can speed up individual tasks, but that does not automatically create more free time. From personal experience, the saved capacity gets filled by more complex tasks and higher expectations.

I write, build, and teach around AI, learning, and digital work.

About

I write, build, and teach around AI, learning, and digital work.

I'm Bob Z.

I write about AI, learning, and digital work. I also build projects, test tools, and turn what I learn into essays and reusable resources.

I am most interested in where AI is going, how people learn to use it well, and which applications hold up outside demos.

My background includes education, and that still shapes how I work: explain things clearly, test ideas properly, and build material that helps people get better.

This site brings together:

essays on AI and where it is heading
learning resources and working notes
projects, prototypes, and experiments
practical material for people who want to apply AI seriously

The tone of the site sits somewhere between builder, educator, operator, and writer. It is personal, but it is also work.

If you want updates, start with the newsletter or the essays.
