So, guess we're officially in the post-GenAI world, huh? If you're getting the feeling that the tech is just getting stronger, faster, and better, you're not alone—even the plants are starting to feel it. On the pod, Darryl Lyons from Rainstick joined us to talk about the advancements in AgTech and how they're using bioelectricity to literally make it rain...and enhance agricultural productivity. But it's not all daisies and rainbows in the tech world. We also had Mithril's Jared Quincy Davis on the show to discuss the GPU shortage (or lack thereof), and how the economics of GPUs are going to need to change in the age of AI. Besides getting your GPUs right, there are lots of things you're probably doing wrong with your AI strategy. Don't worry, we have a piece on the blog for you about what you need for enterprise success in the post-GenAI world. Hopefully that will calm some of the grief you feel when you read about how trillions are being spent on software projects that are still failing. Sometimes, the best way to get things done is just sitting down and doing it, as per another story from the web this week on how one dev team fixed 189 bugs in one week. And doesn't optimization, efficiency, and AI just make you hungry? If so, we have an EGGROLL for you—an Evolution Guided General Optimization via Low-rank Learning ML algorithm to be exact.

Sounds like you’re sketching out the vibes of this week in tech—equal parts exhilarating, chaotic, and slightly apocalyptic in a fun way. 😄 If you were aiming to: (a) sanity-check the themes, (b) turn this into something more polished, or (c) pull out takeaways, I can help with any of those. But here’s a quick read on what you just laid out: --- 🌦️ AgTech Is Getting Wild (In a Good Way) Rainstick’s work with bioelectricity to trigger rainfall and boost crop yields is exactly the sort of “we live in a sci-fi novel now” technology that defines the post-GenAI era. AgTech is shifting from sensors + dashboards to actually manipulating biological systems—and it makes sense you’re feeling the acceleration. --- 🔩 GPUs: Shortage? What Shortage? Jared Quincy Davis’ argument that we don’t really have a GPU shortage, just broken economics and misaligned incentives, is a hot take that more people need to hear. It's not that supply vanished—it’s that demand went exponential and the pricing/pipeline system never caught up. --- 🧠 AI Strategy Is Hard (But Doesn’t Have to Be) The “you’re doing AI strategy wrong” message is hitting a lot of enterprise teams right now. Post-GenAI success isn’t about models; it’s about: data foundation workflow redesign
