The Great Spin Up
Practical conversations about building with AI towards an abundant future
Auto Mode, Terafab, Converge and Diverge, Ketosis And An Axe
Anthropic's new text watermark — a signature built to survive copy-paste and light editing — spirals into whether provenance is trackable at all once most content is generated. Auto mode going default gets weighed against the numbers behind it (89% of dangerous commands caught by the system, 13% by humans), plus Cloudflare's Kitesurf browser, TeraFab's free electron laser, and Evo 2 designing phages that killed E. coli. Small business succession takes up much of the middle — 70% of listed small businesses never sell. Entering Future Vision X Prize with Kinship One, a proposed 150-person vessel carrying people who've each figured out one piece of the future. The deep dive lands on convergence and divergence, ending unresolved on how you'd know when you've diverged enough and it's time to converge.
