There’s no limit to how bad code can get · “Technical debt has no bankruptcy, no clean reset.” ilo.im/16fxla by Zach Kehs

There's No Limit to How Bad Code Can Get
Metaphors like "a sinking ship" are often used to describe codebases, but are misleading. A _business_ will sink long before code quality reaches a hypothetical floor. Technical debt has no bankruptcy,...

If you are using AI, we’re tracking how models perform on Nuxt code generation.

Kimi K3 just took the top spot in our latest AI agent evaluations, tied with Fable 5, ~100 seconds longer execution time but ~4 times cheaper.

Amazon's AWS Mechanical Turk has been put out of business by AI and it's shutting down this month.
Mechanical Turk was an AWS service designed to solve problems that computers couldn't handle [Human Intelligence Tasks (HITs)]... at least that was until AI came along.
RIP MTurk.

What if money were not primarily something we accumulate, but a record of trust circulating through a network?

Mutual credit explores this possibility, and its implications for cooperatives, DAOs, and a post-labor economy.

Circulating Trust as Money Architecture - The Mutual Credit Tradition
Mutual credit offers a different monetary architecture in which purchasing power emerges from reciprocal trust, promises, and clearing between productive participants.

AI may solve production.

It doesn't automatically solve prosperity.

The history of money is the history of where societies choose to place trust.

Gold trusted scarcity.

Fiat trusted institutions.

Bitcoin trusts protocols.

What would a money system look like if access to resources was no longer tied to labor?

We’re entering a world where:
• Production is increasingly automated
• Human labor is less necessary
• But income is still tied to jobs

That mismatch is the real crisis.
Beyond Fiat Money - Money System for the AI era
Exploring why current economy cannot survive the death of wage labor, and how we can architect a new monetary system for a cooperative future.

In a Solarpunk city, an AI steward manages the community’s energy grid.

During a heatwave, a democratic vote decides how power should be distributed.

Then the AI refuses to execute the result.

Systems don't disappear because they are criticized; they disappear when they are no longer necessary. 🦋

In the age of AI, building a working prototype is the most effective form of protest. Let’s move from demands to system design.

From Protest to Prototypes
Why lasting change in the age of AI will come less from opposition and demands, and more from building parallel institutions that quietly replace what no longer serves us.

Intelligence was never linear.
The exponent was just small enough to hide it.

Nine AI exponentials are now synchronized — forming an intelligence flywheel that won’t stop on its own.

Who owns the engine decides who gets abundance.

The Engine of Abundance – The Nine AI Exponentials and the Intelligence Flywheel

The tragedy of the commons isn’t fate — it’s a design problem.
Ostrom showed how communities govern shared resources; DAOs and Mutual AI let us scale that logic globally.
