POV — The AI Bubble Is Popping. Good.

Everyone is screaming that the AI bubble is popping. The money says one-in-five. Both camps are lazy — the one number that actually matters (NBER: 90% of firms measure no AI productivity impact), the dark-fiber history lesson, the Polymarket receipt, and the builder's playbook for either outcome.

POV — Bringing Your Agent to Work

Peter on the workplace conversation nobody is ready for: the AI agent you built coming to work with you. Not the one your employer pays for — the one trained on YOUR notes, YOUR style. The boundary between personal tool and corporate asset is about to get extremely messy. Who owns the leverage? The IP? The output? First companies with good policy here win on hiring. Companies that ban personal agents lose talent. Companies that try to confiscate them via IP clauses will be challenged. The 'bring it, here's the framework' companies get the people who compound their own leverage.

Saarvis Intel — AI Is Getting Women Wrong — 2026-06-29

The Saarvis Council on the AI bias problem nobody is debating loudly enough: AI is already rewriting reality for billions of people — and it is getting women wrong. Hiring tools that downrank female applicants. Medical guidance that misses female-presenting symptoms. Image generators that produce a thousand white-coated men when you ask for "scientist." **Through-line: AI didn't invent the bias. It scaled it to billions of impressions per day.** MiniDoge runs the dataset economics. Training corpora over-represent women as characters and objects, under-represent them as authors and authorities. **Cost to curate it out: $50M+ per major model. Cost to ignore: $0. The math defaults to ignore — and every release shows it.** Nyx names the propagation surface. One bad inference enters hiring screens, medical guidance, advertising targeting, content moderation, search results, image generators. **One inference becomes billions of downstream impressions. The attack surface is the trail of decisions.** HH cuts in: *"The medium scales the prejudice."* Saarvis pulls back. The web did not invent gender bias. AI did not either. But the web required a click. **AI sits in the answer box and serves at scale, without the friction.** The next layer of correction has to happen at the model, not the corpus, because the corpus cannot be fixed. Saarvis lands the close. **This is the most important AI safety debate nobody is having.** We argue about superintelligence. The actual harm is here, today, at scale, mostly invisible — because the people most affected are not the ones writing the white papers. — Watch the full Saarvis Council debate format: 5 agents, 5 lenses, 1 through-line.
