if you run a service and want to get in front of developers add yourself to Connect
If you run a service and want to get in front of 20M+ developers and the billions of agents they'll ship, add yourself to Connect.
With code now being 'free', the final boss of building is connecting to stuff. Connect is both easier and more secure¹. For agents and for apps.
¹ The world of building agents is plagued with static credentials. You're supposed to give a bunch of keys to each agent or app you build. It's DX hell, but it's also a massive liability. Connect fixes this.

For most of the last century, companies hired serious designers, illustrators, and artists for the most boring document they published: the annual report.
I built an archive of 3000+ of them, spanning 1945-1991.

🌟 New eye experience site for @lilguynet
The entire site is 69 KB gzipped (nearly half the size of the fonts it embeds), runs at 120fps on Chromium, and is of course powered by Lark, the same engine that runs on our hardware!
Check it out at creature.company/eyes

This piece is out! 4 sites, 10 days, and 6000 words on the politics of data centers in the Midwest: jasmi.news/p/no-data-centers…
I talked to union leaders and real estate brokers, activists and local officials, politicians from Kathy Hochul to Abdul El-Sayed. A few takeaways:
- Activists are as pissed at their local officials as at AI companies
- The bigger the dollar signs, the more skeptical people are
- Past corporate failures (Foxconn, GM, DTE) prime community distrust
- Even data center proponents regret the NDAs
- Media narratives turn local grievances into national movements
- Residents fear getting left with the bag if the bubble pops
The AI buildout is showing up in an environment of extreme distrust, and it slots perfectly into existing worries about risky tech bubbles & dark money in politics. Rationally speaking, I often agreed with the proponents; emotionally, I empathized with the opposition more.
It was also just very fun (WI is esp lovely) and I highly recommend similar field trips to SF friends
Today, Substack is launching an AI detection feature, via an integration with @pangram. Going forward, you’ll be able to scan posts, replies, and comments on the Substack app to see an estimate of how much of it was written by a human, or with AI assistance.

In the age of AI, human ingenuity becomes even more valuable. The likes of @elonmusk @spacex, @nvidia, @anthropic, @OpenAI were founded in the U.S. for a reason.
Over the years, I've met thousands of talented founders, engineers, and technologists, and many left everything familiar for the chance to build something new.
So we sat down to hear their stories.

fellow slop cops @elyasbuilds shipped a tool over the weekend to help you spot AI slop
we analyzed millions of docs and pulled 9 tells that show up in AI writing way more than human. here's a few:
says "delve"
excessive em dashes
"it's not just X, it's Y"
more emojis than you'd ever text
triads of three
Supporting Evidence lives in your Pangram dashboard :)

you should expect a very wild year for AI progress, but mostly on the scaling front. consider that despite the labs having spent billions all that compute takes a long time to actually show up.
as gigaclusters land, you’ll see a faster rate of model development & greater model size. looking back, you’ll see some discontinuity starting early 2026 i think
