@ouraring Every time my smart watch buzzes and the notification turns out to be your useless "syncing" message, I wonder what the heck you were thinking. Why does anyone need to know that? Save alerts for important messages.

This @NewYorker story is so good, and so important for everyone to understand. Through the lens of semiconductor manufacturing, it highlights the interconnectedness of today’s world and puts to shame anyone who thinks that we can go back to a world shaped only by national rivalries rather than international cooperation and trade. “The semiconductor supply chain is a planetary superorganism with its own ecology…. Globalization has become tainted in our eyes, as if it necessarily constitutes a zero-sum enterprise. And its mercenary form—which is also its most common form—has indeed inflicted harm. But the global semiconductor supply chain reflects an alternative pathway. It has united its participants in the pursuit of something profoundly difficult that could not have been achieved in the absence of intercontinental solidarity.” newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

What game do we want to be playing? Some thoughts on how we get to the game of AI and human flourishing in my keynote at last week's AGNTcon+MCPcon on The Missing Mechanisms of the AI Economy. Despite the preview image, the link should go right to my segment. youtube.com/live/eB9I4Ixx2…

I’ve been working to teach Claude how to write more like a human, so it can do more routine reporting like this for me, and it’s finally gotten good enough that we can give it a byline! Let me know what you think. oreillyradar.substack.com/p/owners-not-r…

Imagine talking to the creators of ChatGPT about the Attention is All You Need paper a few months before its release, and you'll be able to imagine what it's like to talk to Alex Komoroske with me on Live with Tim O'Reilly today at 8 am Pacific/11 Eastern. Alex wrote something called the Resonant Computing Manifesto last year, and he's now building something based on it, which he calls Common Fabric. It's a completely revolutionary approach to making a human-centered version of the agentic future. I've seen the prototypes, and it's something I've dreamed about! We'll be talking the vision, not showing it off yet, but even that will change how you see the future. learning.oreilly.com/live-events/ca…
