A number of people are talking about implications of AI to schools. I spoke about some of my thoughts to a school board earlier, some highlights: 1. You will never be able to detect the use of AI in homework. Full stop. All "detectors" of AI imo don't really work, can be defeated in various ways, and are in principle doomed to fail. You have to assume that any work done outside classroom has used AI. 2. Therefore, the majority of grading has to shift to in-class work (instead of at-home assignments), in settings where teachers can physically monitor students. The students remain motivated to learn how to solve problems without AI because they know they will be evaluated without it in class later. 3. We want students to be able to use AI, it is here to stay and it is extremely powerful, but we also don't want students to be naked in the world without it. Using the calculator as an example of a historically disruptive technology, school teaches you how to do all the basic math & arithmetic so that you can in principle do it by hand, even if calculators are pervasive and greatly speed up work in practical settings. In addition, you understand what it's doing for you, so should it give you a wrong answer (e.g. you mistyped "prompt"), you should be able to notice it, gut check it, verify it in some other way, etc. The verification ability is especially important in the case of AI, which is presently a lot more fallible in a great variety of ways compared to calculators. 4. A lot of the evaluation settings remain at teacher's discretion and involve a creative design space of no tools, cheatsheets, open book, provided AI responses, direct internet/AI access, etc. TLDR the goal is that the students are proficient in the use of AI, but can also exist without it, and imo the only way to get there is to flip classes around and move the majority of testing to in class settings.

JUST IN: Elon Musk says AI and humanoid robots will "eliminate poverty" and "make everyone wealthy."

AI Agents will fade away, like microservices did. Painful to scale, and difficult to deploy. Eventually, you will see them hidden behind a wall of well-engineered solutions. Hype doesn't survive complexity.

Plan with Sonnet 4.5, execute with Gemini 3 Pro. Thank me later

Exciting expansion! @Waymo now serves the whole SF Bay Area Peninsula from SF to San Jose and is taking riders on freeways. https:// waymo.com/blog/2025/11/t aking-riders-further-safely-with-freeways …

Excited to share new @Amazonleo Ultra is fastest satellite internet antenna ever built, delivering simultaneous download speeds up to 1 Gbps and upload speeds up to 400 Mbps, all powered by custom Leo silicon. Plus some more details on our network, which will offer enterprise-grade performance and advanced encryption, with secure private networking that bypasses public internet—connecting directly to AWS and other cloud and on-premise networks. Combo will be extremely valuable for the millions of enterprises, government agencies, and organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity. Team is also kicking off our enterprise preview with select customers using production hardware and software to gather feedback and tailor solutions ahead of next year's commercial launch. Lots of encouraging progress to bring connectivity to customers and partners who need it most. https://aboutamazon.com/news/amazon-leo/amazon-leo-satellite-internet-ultra-pro…

Holy shit. I’ve used ChatGPT every day for 3 years. Just spent 2 hours on Gemini 3. I’m not going back. The leap is insane — reasoning, speed, images, video… everything is sharper and faster. It feels like the world just changed, again.

Okay this Google vs Nvidia rivalry has gone too far

I am unreasonably excited about self-driving. It will be the first technology in many decades to visibly terraform outdoor physical spaces and way of life. Less parked cars. Less parking lots. Much greater safety for people in and out of cars. Less noise pollution. More space reclaimed for humans. Human brain cycles and attention capital freed up from “lane following” to other pursuits. Cheaper, faster, programmable delivery of physical items and goods. It won’t happen overnight but there will be the era before and the era after.

what are your strong predictions for 2026 in tech?

Social media is about to get weird I just built an entirely new Instagram profile with the newly launched Nano Banana Pro. Not one of these photos is real. Prompt below

JUST IN: Report shows OpenAI needs to raise at least $207 billion by 2030 to stay in business, but they will still be losing money if they do so.

I remember when I was stuck with MongoDB, and 100M analytics events in the entire database made everything super slow, even with indexes. Now DataFast processes ~150M events per month, and my new database TinyBird loads analytics in seconds. I hate changing my tech stack, but boy, I'm happy with this one.

Gemini 3 has only been out for 18 hours But people are already creating insane things with it. Here are my top 13 examples, enjoy 1. 3D Pacman on tiny Planet - by TomLikesRobots

cursor still remains undefeated after Google's Anti gravity launch

This AI race is wild. There has never been a more exciting time to be in tech. 80.9% on SWE, wow.
