Every's eight-level AI adoption map is useful because it measures delegation, trust, context, and verification, not personal intelligence. This version expands the ladder and pairs it with a self-assessment that checks how people actually work with AI.

Cerebras is interesting beyond its IPO because near-1,000-token-per-second inference changes the shape of the work: draft, check, repair, compare, and return before the human loses the thread.

The useful question is how much AI capability would still remain if the proprietary frontier disappeared tomorrow.

The common claim is that AI cannot replace your job. That may be true. But jobs are bundles of functions, and the better question is which functions are already moving closer to reliable AI handoff.

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 genuine multi-agent runtime across different harnesses: paired review loops, handoffs, shared threads, and open protocols such as A2A.

As of March 24, 2026, mobile AI coding is splitting around where the work runs: a phone steering your own machine, or a phone 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.

A practical AI proficiency self-assessment that estimates your current operating level from chatbot use through copilot, agents, autopilot, workflows, background assistants, multi-agent work, and orchestration.

A supply and demand simulator for AI-exposed work units, showing how abundance can devalue tasks before whole jobs disappear.

A living map of the AI tools I use, what each one is for, and how I keep a large stack from turning into tool sprawl.

AI Data Center Map

A public interactive map tracking major AI data center projects, locations, investment, and planned capacity.

View project

This map tracks the physical infrastructure behind the AI boom: data center campuses, announced buildouts, investment commitments, and the locations where new compute capacity is being concentrated.

It is useful if you want the hardware and geography side of AI progress, not only the model announcement side.

What the map shows

The focus here is on major AI-linked data center projects and expansions. That includes where they are being built, how large they are expected to be, and how they fit into the broader pattern of capital, energy demand, and regional concentration.

How to use it

Use the map to move from headlines to structure. Instead of treating AI growth as an abstract software story, this page makes it easier to see the physical buildout underneath it: land, power, capital, and logistical scale.
