We are witnessing a quiet but profound shift in how we interact with machine intelligence. For years, the paradigm has been transactional: we prompt, the model replies. We wait. We prompt again. But the friction of that loop is dissolving.
I’ve been spending time with OpenClaw, a piece of technology that represents the next logical…
Davos, Switzerland: Axios House
With all the pitches one expects to hear amidst the rarefied air of Davos, a business plan from Jason Bourne probably isn’t one of them. Yet, there on stage was Matt Damon, alongside his co-founder Gary White, not to promote a film, but to deconstruct a global crisis with the precision…
Davos, Switzerland: Session from The Washington Post House
For the past few years, the narrative around artificial intelligence has been one of ethereal magic. Models spun text from prompts, conjured images from imagination, and lived inside our browsers. But as the dust settles at the 2026 World Economic Forum, a new, more grounded conversation has…

Davos, Switzerland: Monaco Day, during the World Economic Forum
You expect certain things from a talk by Anthony Scaramucci. You expect unfiltered opinions, sharp-witted analysis, and maybe a few headline-grabbing quotes about his eleven days in the Trump White House. What you might not expect is a masterclass on the systemic failures of globalization, the…

The Year the Future Became the Default Setting
If 2024 was the year we all started talking to machines, 2025 was the year they, as agents, started talking back. More importantly, my agents kindly worked for me. Looking back at the last twelve months from my desk today, I feel grateful for another year of…
Blockchain Association Policy Summit 2025, Washington, DC: The title of this session could’ve been lifted straight from a sci‑fi screenplay: “So It Begins: Big Banks’ War on Crypto.” But as moderator Lindsay Fraser, Chief Policy Officer at the Blockchain Association, reminded the audience, this was no fiction. Traditional financial institutions, fortified by regulatory allies and legacy infrastructure, are…

Blockchain Association Policy Summit 2025, Washington, DC: When Jake Chervinsky, Chief Legal Officer at Variant, opened the panel “Rulemaking and the Road Ahead,” he set the tone with characteristic candor. “A year ago,” he said, “we were talking about agencies trying to destroy this industry under the guise of regulation. Today, we’re talking about constructive rulemaking.”
The shift in…

There’s something fitting about me releasing an AI-generated holiday album at the close of 2025, a year that has redefined what creativity means in the age of intelligent tools.
