    The companies falling behind are not the ones with the hardest problems. They are the ones solving them too slowly. What I see more and more is that AI is changing who gets to improve a business. It is no longer only technical teams. Today, business users can automate

  • The Deceptive Convenience: AI’s Hidden Dangers

    @pascal_bornet

    –

    The most dangerous thing about AI may be how helpful it feels. That is what more people are starting to realize. AI now drafts our emails, summarizes reports, helps us code, manages calendars, and answers questions in seconds. Convenient, impressive, efficient. But none of

  • Comma AI’s $999 Self-Driving System Challenges Billion-Dollar Competitors

    Everyone says self-driving needs billions. Comma ai built a very uncomfortable counterexample for $999. That is what makes this story so interesting to me. While Waymo, Cruise, and others spent billions building robotaxis, custom vehicles, and tightly controlled systems,

  • Japan’s Systematic Approach to Earthquake Resilience

    Japan does not wait for disaster to teach the lesson twice. That is what stands out to me. It lives with constant seismic risk, yet keeps turning resilience into a system, not a slogan. Japan sits in one of the world’s most earthquake-prone regions, and the country has kept

  • Platforms monetize attention hijacking and paid solutions equally

    @pascal_bornet

    –

    Platforms charge companies to hijack our attention, then charge us to reclaim it.
    A very elegant way to monetize both the problem and the fake solution. YouTube perfected the art of monetizing both the interruption and the escape. #AI #Advertising #AttentionEconomy

  • Huawei MateBook Fold Redefines Personal Computing with Foldable Display

    Huawei may have just shown where personal computing is heading next.
    And it looks a lot less like a traditional laptop. The MateBook Fold takes an 18.3-inch OLED display, folds it like a book, and turns it into a smaller 13-inch device when closed. No built-in keyboard. Just a

  • AI transformation requires builders, not just consultants and slides
    AI transformation requires builders, not just consultants and slides

    By

    @pascal_bornet

    –

    This meme is funny because it exposes something real. A surprising number of companies say they want to become AI-first. Then they hire more consultants. More slides. More workshops. More people discussing transformation while very few are actually building it. That might have made sense before. It makes much less sense now. AI has already made a big part of traditional consulting work faster, cheaper, and easier: summaries, formatting, repetitive analysis, deck-building, and a lot of the copy-paste work that used to pass as high-value output. So when a company responds to AI by adding even more consultants, I have to ask: What exactly are they accelerating? Because real AI transformation does not happen in a strategy deck. It happens when builders are embedded inside the business. Close to the teams doing the work. Close to the friction. Close to the messy processes that no workshop can fix. That is where the real use cases appear. That is where systems get tested. That is where value gets created. The companies moving fastest right now are not the ones talking most about AI. They are the ones shipping. If consultants outnumber builders in your AI initiative, that is not a strategy. That is the problem. What are you seeing more of right now: companies building with AI, or companies still making decks about it? #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #BusinessTransformation #Consulting #DigitalTransformation #FutureOfWork #Innovation #AIStrategy

  • Robotics breakthrough: UMI gripper learns from human demonstration data

    By

    @pascal_bornet

    –

    We might be solving the wrong problem in robotics. That’s what this makes clear. UMI → Universal Manipulation Interface A simple $400 gripper that lets you teach robots by demonstration. You hold it like a tool. Show the task. The robot learns. No teleoperation. No expensive hardware. No robot-specific data. Stanford open-sourced everything → hardware, code, datasets. What stands out to me is the bottleneck. Not algorithms. Data. Teleoperation → ~35 demos/hour UMI → ~111 demos/hour And the data transfers across robots → UR5, Franka, others. The design is surprisingly practical: → GoPro fisheye lens (155° FOV) + mirrors for depth → SLAM + IMU for precise 6DoF tracking → latency matching for dynamic tasks → diffusion policies for multimodal actions Then it scales. Cheng Chi takes this further with Sunday Robotics (with Tony Zhao). A $200 glove → deployed in 500+ homes → ~10 million real-world interactions. Not lab data. Real human behavior. Their robot learns dishes, laundry, espresso → with zero robot-specific data. This is where the shift becomes obvious. From training robots in controlled environments → to learning directly from humans at scale So here’s the real question: Will robotics be unlocked by better models… or by unlocking data? #ArtificialIntelligence #Robotics #AI #Innovation #FutureOfWork

  • AI’s True Goal: Power Concentration Over Human Progress

    By

    @pascal_bornet

    –

    What if the real goal of AI isn’t what we’ve been told? Co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology, Tristan Harris, argues that the ultimate goal of many AI technocrats is not just to help humanity… but to advance their own pursuit of money and power. That framing changes how you interpret everything else. To the public, AI is presented as progress: More creativity. More freedom. Better work. But internally, the incentive structure is different. AI offers productivity without the ongoing cost of human labor. What stands out to me is how this shifts the equation. If systems can replace large parts of human work, value doesn’t disappear — it concentrates. Fewer workers. More centralized control. Greater accumulation at the top. The first time you connect these dynamics, the trajectory becomes clearer. This isn’t just a technological shift. It’s an economic one. And this is where things start to matter. Because the real question is no longer what AI can do. It’s who benefits from what it does. So here’s something I’d be curious to hear from you: As AI continues to scale, how should we think about power, ownership, and value distribution? #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #FutureOfWork #Economics #Innovation

  • Real-Time Adaptive Robotics: Beyond Entertainment to Practical Impact

    By

    @pascal_bornet

    –

    A Spider-Man stunt… executed by a robot. That says more about robotics than it seems. Disney Imagineers built a system that flies over 25 meters in the air → adjusting its motion in real time. → flips → rotation → speed control → balance All handled mid-flight. What stands out to me is not the spectacle… it’s the decision-making happening in the air. This isn’t scripted motion. It’s real-time adaptation to physics. That’s the shift. From robots that repeat actions to systems that respond to the environment And once that threshold is crossed, the implications extend far beyond entertainment: → high-risk environments → dynamic industrial tasks → real-world human assistance This is where things start to matter. Because the ability to adapt in real time is what turns machines into systems we can rely on. So here’s the real question: Where will real-time adaptive robotics create the most value next? #ArtificialIntelligence #Robotics #Innovation #FutureOfWork #Technology
