To see the future of AI in healthcare, look outside the system For a small but growing subset of early adopters, AI has already had life-changing medical value

The use of AI by patients to resolve life-impacting gaps and errors in the healthcare system is a peek both at what AI makes possible, and the upcoming collision with incumbent health industry interests.

Yesterday the WSJ published a supposed "Exclusive", "U.S. Plans to Use Tariff Negotiations to Isolate China".

But if you follow Matthew Pines on X, you've known the geoeconomic strategy in play since before last November

Every response should be some form of “As a (social) scientist I am ethically bound to report my findings truthfully”.

But given we’re still very deep in the replication crisis I would predict few ethical responses.

Another great example of a team working on the Hypermodal Interface: "General Agents".

Their demo videos are extremely slick. Unfortunately their app, "Ace", isn't openly available now.

Do check our their videos: generalagents.com
And in the meantime, try the other apps mentioned in the article:

The Hypermodal Interface A few small teams are pioneering the next generation interface for computing, starting on the desktop, where permissionless innovation reigns

I've recently become obsessed with a new computing interface I see coalescing:

I call it the _Hypermodal Interface_.

The key elements:
- Quick triggering hotkeys
- voice and text input
- reasoning-capable AI models, and
- the new LLM Tool ecosystem (MCP Tools)

I've devoted today's issue to it:

You’re too polite Ian, we all know why.

As shocking as it is there’s no time to waste with thoughts of whether this is real.

It is real: It’s an attempt to give Russia the opportunity to grab more Ukrainian territory before attempting to force a deal.

How many countries have put a decision on nuclear weapons development at the top of their priorities in the last month?

I’d bet it’s not zero.

Time for smartphone makers to ship verified video capture Democracy depends on free speech, separation of powers, and smartphone camera design

Wouldn't it be great if smartphones became unassailable sources of truth?

It can be done, and now is the time.

Why AI is progressing so quickly in 2025 Why AI is progressing so quickly in 2025, and why we know the pace of advancement will continue. Persistent and reliable processes, described by scaling laws, are driving progress.

Why do we *know* more AI advances are baked-in for the near future?

There are persistent, reliable, predictable processes making it happen.

Why you can dismiss the claims that AI is all hype, in the latest issue of Road to Artificia 👇

In the era of AI agents, Apple keeps agency for itself How do agents fit into the Apple Intelligence strategy?

"AI agents are the new apps. But with Apple Intelligence, developers are relegated to being data donors and task runners - locked out of the agent layer entirely."

Lots of anti-AI sentiment to be found on bluesky. Not a complete surprise, but the number of blocklists I’ve seen targeted at AI folks does give me pause.

Do these people really feel so comfortable about blocking out info on the biggest change to their reality?

On-demand UIs are just one example of going from static, multi-week project-driven artifact creation by teams to dynamic, continuously generated artifacts built with silly amounts of cheap intelligence.

This opens up possibilities like on-demand UI/UX generation that conforms to a user's needs in the moment, through the application of vast volumes of cheap intelligence.

In the post-AI era of zero-marginal cost intelligence, we need to imagine use cases enabled by cheap, orders-of-magnitude greater knowledge work.

We talk a lot about the *degree* of intelligence AGI and ASI will provide us, but not enough about the *volume*, or the *speed of delivery* of cheap intelligence.
