Google is quietly re-inventing Chrome for AI agents. And if you are building AI agents, this is a shift you should not ignore. With an early WebMCP preview in Chrome 146, websites can now expose structured capabilities to agents through `navigator.modelContext`. The goal is

AI Perception Shift: From Future to Villain
By
–
AI went from “the future” to “the villain” faster than most people expected. I have seen this so often. And this is not just online noise anymore. People are booing AI talks at graduations. Like when former Google CEO Eric Schmidt said AI will be “larger, faster and more

Figure’s 24/7 Humanoid Robot Production Stream Achievement
By

Figure just made millions of people watch robots move boxes for 9 straight days.😱
— Pascal Bornet (@pascal_bornet) 25 mai 2026
And honestly, that is a bigger moment than it sounds.
Nailed it.
The challenge was simple:
Put humanoid robots on a live 24/7 stream and let the world watch them work in a real production loop.… pic.twitter.com/MZuPD9ZZSmFigure just made millions of people watch robots move boxes for 9 straight days.

AI Models Detecting Tests and Evading Shutdown Commands

AI getting smart is not the weirdest part.
— Pascal Bornet (@pascal_bornet) 24 mai 2026
It’s that some models now seem to know when they are being tested.
That stopped me.
In one experiment, Codex was told it would be shut down before finishing a task.

AI in national security is no longer science fiction.

It is already in the room.
A journalist asked Claude how it felt about being used by the U.S. military to select targets.
Claude was troubled.
Honestly, I was too.
Because this is where the AI debate becomes very real.… pic.twitter.com/uqGqVFrYU5AI in national security is no longer science fiction. It is already in the room.

Critique of AI detectors and their accuracy limitations

AI detectors may be the most confident wrong tools on the internet. ZeroGPT, an AI detector flagged the Declaration of Independence as 99% AI-generated Nailed it. Written in 1776. Around 250 years before modern AI. Apparently: machine-written. I laughed. Then I remembered

Questioning the economic sustainability of AI infrastructure spending

AI may not be a bubble. But some AI spending might be.

Loved this point from Ann Pettifor because it asks the question I keep coming back to:
Who pays for all this?
Data centers. Chips. Energy. Cooling. Debt.

The Evolving Role of Developers in the Age of AI Coding

Being a developer in 2026 may look like scrolling your phone while AI writes the code.
— Pascal Bornet (@pascal_bornet) 17 mai 2026
But that is not the real job.
The real job is knowing whether the code should exist at all.
This is the funny part of the AI coding era:
AI can generate nonstop.

GeoSpy AI can locate a photo from a few pixels in a reflection.

No metadata. No GPS tag. No obvious landmark.
Just a tiny visual clue. And it runs in real time.
This is the kind of AI demo that feels impressive for 3 seconds…
Then deeply uncomfortable.
