We are currently watching a massive shift in the DNA of work. According to the latest Epoch AI survey , 21% of people surveyed said they had started doing new tasks because of AI. Nearly half in this group stated that these new tasks happened without any existing tasks being automated away. The conversation is stuck on “productivity,” but the data tells a deeper story: → The Shadow AI Movement: More than 50% of workers bypassed their company’s AI tools this month. Many are

Everyone's talking about Anthropic's Mythos and cybersecurity, but what does it mean for knowledge work? Anthropic  built a new general-purpose reasoning model (Mythos) so capable it found thousands cybersec vulnerabilities. Anthropic has paused wide scale release and launch Project Glasswing to give us a headstart in cybersec defense. For me, what's more interesting is that Mythos hit 94.5% on graduate-level scientific reasoning, 93.9% on real-world software engineering, 97.

Kuse AI gave its AI agent a phone number, a Slack account, and an annual “salary” of $24,000”. The human employees built a secret Slack channel just to get away from it. The agent is called “Junior”. Built on OpenClaw, it handles internal communications, writes the company's code, and initiates nearly outbound sales calls. It monitors inboxes, converts any idea floated on Slack into a tracked task, escalates missed deadlines to managers. Over 2,000 companies are on the waitli

What happens when it takes less time to build an app than it takes Apple to review one? We're finding out right now. In Q1 2026, new app submissions to the App Store jumped +80%. For the full year of 2025, submissions swelled +30%. The bottleneck in software creation has shifted from building to distributing. The cause is vibe coding. People who have never written a line of Swift are describing what they want in plain English, and tools like Anthropic's Claude Code, Cursor, a

Anthropic released Agent Skills as an open standard in December. Salesforce ’s Agentforce platform now serves over 18,500 enterprise customers, with Agentforce accounts in production growing 70% quarter over quarter. OpenAI has adopted a structurally similar skills architecture across ChatGPT and its Codex CLI. Three very different companies arriving at the same architectural conviction, which should tell us something worth paying attention to. A skill, in this context, is

"The next $1T company will be a software company masquerading as a services firm." -  Julien Bek ,  Sequoia Capital Welcome to the era of "Service as Software".  To understand what this shift means, we need to look at the history, how we got here. In the 1980s, if your company needed accounting software, you bought a license, installed it on your own servers, and maintained it with your own IT team. The software sat inside your walls. When it broke, that was your problem. Whe

Google  just named their new London AI headquarters after the moment artificial intelligence demonstrated genuine creative intuition. Platform 37 references AlphaGo's "Move 37" a play in the 2016 match against Go world champion Lee Sae Dol that no human player would have conceived.  Go has more possible board configurations than atoms in the known universe, and for centuries the game's strategic canon was written entirely by human minds. Move 37 broke that boundary. It was an

What does it take to stand in front of your board and say: this next chapter isn't mine to lead? Three CEOs have done something very close to that. And in each case, AI has been part of the reason they gave for moving on. Shantanu Narayen, who built  Adobe  into a $150 billion creative software company over 18 years, told employees that the next era of creativity is being written right now, shaped by AI, by new workflows and by entirely new forms of expression. He signaled th

Every so often, a company's internal decisions tell you more about the industry than any analyst report. OpenAI  just killed Sora, one of its most high-profile products. And they have redirected everything toward a new model called "Spud." Sam Altman told employees it will be ready in weeks and could "really accelerate the economy." Most people are debating whether it's GPT-5.5 or GPT-6. But the interesting question is what this resourcing decision reveals about where enterpr
