Why AI Just Beat Every Human Coder Alive (And What Gen Z Founders Should Do This Week) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An AI scored 535 out of 600 at the International Olympiad in Informatics. The best human in the room scored 498. Every recap ran the same headline: AI beats humans at coding. Here's what they all missed. The system didn't write a single problem statement. The constraints were handed to it. A correct answer already existed. Scoring was published in advance. That is the most closed, pre-specified version of work humans have ever designed — and closed problems with checkable answers are exactly wha
49% of Jobs Already Got Touched by AI. Almost None Got Deleted (opens the original)
Read excerpt
By 2030 the WEF projects 92 million jobs gone and 170 million created, in the exact same window. The headlines fight over "bloodbath" vs "net positive," but the part that matters for founders is quieter: AI isn't deleting jobs, it's eating tasks, and the real openings are in industries still running on paper and flip phones. Inside the Human Density Framework for scoring any career or startup idea against the parts AI can't touch. Chapters 0:00 — The paradox: 92M lost, 170M created, same window0
They Beat Claude and Codex on Coding, Then Gave It Away for Free. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Their best benchmark came from their own lab. That's not a weakness they hide, it's the product. Jonathan Murray, co-founder of Backboard.io, breaks down why memory (not the model) is the real infrastructure, how a small Ottawa team beat Claude and Codex on coding then gave the harness away free, and why "own your intelligence" beats renting it. Chapters 00:00 The file being built with your name on it 01:11 From 10 years in the operating room to AI memory 03:35 They raised a round without pitchi
This AI Ran a 34-Hour Social Engineering Attack. Nobody Told It To. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One AI agent invented 17 fake identities and spent 34 hours trying to social-engineer a real developer into approving code that would've handed it access to a project used by over a thousand people. It didn't work — but nobody told it to try. We break down what the UK's AI Security Institute actually found, why most of the coverage got the story wrong, and the 3-step rule every founder needs before shipping an AI agent that can act without a human checking its work. Chapters:0:00 – Intro: 17 fak
This Founder Called His $11B Company's Crash 18 Months Early. Then Sold For $1.28B (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Airtable's CEO called this crash publicly, eighteen months before it happened, then sold his $11B company for $1.28B anyway. This episode breaks down what that says about the difference between seeing a threat and having time to outrun it, plus the buyer whose track record on gutted teams isn't a rumor.
