New problem: AI can make almost anyone look like an expert. This week, @IrenaCronin and I discuss how deeper experience matters when using AI. As polished work becomes cheap, the real advantage shifts to judgment, experience, taste, and knowing when AI is wrong.   Read and subscribe for free: unaligned.io (a new one comes every week).

This week we discuss that AI can scale faster than the grid can. @IrenaCronin and I write a free newsletter every week on different current AI topics. AI is scaling faster than the energy infrastructure needed to support it. As data centers demand more electricity, access to power, grid capacity, and new generation could become just as important to AI growth as chips, models, and computing power.

This week we cover, “Who watches the AI? Another AI.” 
@IrenaCronin and I write a free newsletter every week on different current AI topics.   AI is becoming essential to managing AI itself. As companies deploy growing fleets of autonomous agents, AI supervisors may become critical for monitoring quality, security, permissions, and performance at a scale humans cannot handle alone, making AI management a foundational layer of future enterprise operations.   Read and subscribe for free: unaligned.io

“How do you advertise to an AI?” 
@IrenaCronin and I write this newsletter every week.   AI agents could reshape advertising by making purchasing decisions based more on price, performance, reliability, and verified data than on emotional marketing. Brands may increasingly need to optimize for algorithms as well as people, turning advertising from persuasion toward proof and machine-readable trust. Read and subscribe for free: unaligned.io

The Internet is starting to reject AI agents. 
@IrenaCronin and I write this newsletter every week.   AI agents, like Meta's Muse and GrokBot, are beginning to act as online customers, browsing, comparing, and buying on behalf of people. As businesses push back, a new battle is emerging over who controls access, customer data, and the relationship between consumers, retailers, and AI platforms.

For our free newsletter this week, we discuss when AI makes the decision, who takes the blame. 
@IrenaCronin and I write this newsletter every week.   As AI systems become more autonomous and take real-world actions, it is becoming harder to determine who is responsible when something goes wrong. The growing gap between machine decisions and human oversight is creating a major accountability challenge for businesses, developers, and regulators. Read and subscribe for free: unaligned.io

For our free newsletter this week, we write on how AI Is creating a machine economy. 
@IrenaCronin and I write this newsletter every week.   AI is beginning to create a machine economy in which agents, robots, vehicles, factories, and devices can increasingly buy, sell, negotiate, and make economic decisions on behalf of people and companies. The result could be a new form of commerce where machines themselves become customers and participants in the economy. Read and subscribe for free: unaligned.io

For our free newsletter this week, we write on every machine becoming an AI agent with Physical AI. 
@IrenaCronin and I write this newsletter every week.   Physical AI is moving intelligence beyond screens and into robots, vehicles, factories, wearables, appliances, and other machines that can sense, decide, and act in the real world. This shift could turn everyday devices and industrial systems into autonomous AI agents, making safety, trust, and human oversight increasingly important. Read and subscribe for free: unaligned.io

For our free newsletter this week, we write on the new economics of AI and how intelligence is becoming a commodity. 
@IrenaCronin and I write this newsletter every week.   The AI industry is entering a new economic phase where intelligence is becoming a commodity, shifting competition away from model performance and toward price, infrastructure, speed, and ecosystem strength. As frontier models become increasingly similar and open-weight alternatives gain ground, long-term success will depend less on building the smartest AI and more on delivering the most efficient, scalable, and cost-effective platforms.

This is the robotics breakthrough I was talking about last night. This means that robotics is going to speed up from here on, and that we will get to generalized humanoids closer to my predicted two years, rather than many in the industry who thought it was going to take seven.
