Short week, but the throughline was pretty clear: hype, control, and where the money comes from.

Cursor implied success without evidence

Cursor went down the river selling smoke. A browser coded only by a fleet of agents is not going to replace mine for now.

Self-hosting

Nice, small post about self-hosting. It's a good idea to use Claude as your personal sysadmin, although I'm not sure I want it anywhere near my personal data.

OpenAI Ads

Good post about what could be the next steps for OpenAI and ads monetization. The conclusion is the best takeaway, AGI isn't near so they deliver ads.

See you next week.
