AI news this week: Personal AI agents like Instinct and Meta's Muse now book your repairs, make your calls and talk to other agents. We let one into our life. On today's AI For Humans, Kevin Pereira and Gavin Purcell dig into the week personal AI agents got real. Gavin has been living with Instinct, the viral assistant that just raised a ton on money while still in private testing. It works over text, WhatsApp and now actual phone calls, people are using it to schedule dryer repairs, and this week a stranger's Instinct asked to talk to Gavin's Instinct. It also handed out Kevin's personal info by default because it was a lil over-eager, which is where Kevin's finger wag (and the terms of service) come in. Then there's Muse, Meta's new personal agent that lives in its own app and inside WhatsApp, how it's different from OpenClaw, and the rumors that OpenAI's version is close. Also: everyone suddenly wants to slow AI down. Dario Amodei published "We Must Pace the Frontier," Sam Altman said he agrees, Demis Hassabis said it points to the right path, Elon Musk said "Dario is right," and the White House is not on board. We try to make sense of why this is happening now (recursive self-improvement, the Hugging Face incident, and Sam talking up an unreleased model that's crushing math) and what it means for you. OpenAI also shared a new framework for publicly reporting model misalignment. Plus: Jev from TypeSafe AI is a new sort of model. It's not a chatbot. It makes fast typed decisions in 70 to 500 milliseconds, which means it can play Doom and Mario in real time, trade stocks, fly a drone and power a lil game called Jev Hero. And in AI See What You Did There: Claude Opus 5 makes really cool JavaScript animations (Gavin tried it too), the AI Seinfeld videos are getting good, and MiniMax nails micro expressions. MY AI WILL CALL YOUR AI. PLEASE DON'T GIVE IT MY SOCIAL. // Show Links // Instinct https://instinct.com/ TechCrunch: Instinct's AI assistant is raising privacy and security concerns https://techcrunch.com/2026/08/24/instincts-powerful-ai-assistant-is-raising-privacy-and-security-concerns/ Gavin's Instinct experience, continued https://x.com/gavinpurcell/status/2100016746631721459 Instinct scheduled a dryer repair https://x.com/eliweisss/status/2098918455957189107 Instinct can now handle phone calls https://x.com/noahrshinn/status/2100262985491231101 Meta introduces Muse, its personal AI agent https://about.fb.com/news/2026/09/introducing-muse-personal-ai-agent/ Sam Altman's tease (OpenAI's version is a rumor, not confirmed) https://x.com/sama/status/2100351958167220547 Sam Altman on the unreleased model beating all the math https://x.com/rohanpaul_ai/status/2100144714251198466 Dario Amodei: We Must Pace the Frontier https://darioamodei.com/post/we-must-pace-the-frontier Sam Altman agrees with Dario https://x.com/sama/status/2098811563415150910 Demis Hassabis on pacing the frontier https://x.com/demishassabis/status/2098909516582490602 Elon Musk at the All-In Summit https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2099737765260763348 OpenAI's framework for reporting model misalignment https://openai.com/index/model-misalignment-reporting-framework/ Kim's New Book: Write a Novel in 100 Days https://kimpurcell.com/ TypeSafe AI introduces System One models and Jev https://typesafe.ai/blog/introducing-system-one-models-and-jev https://x.com/CompleteSkeptic/status/2099925682726002904 Jev plays Doom in real time https://x.com/CompleteSkeptic/status/2099925687465570372 Jev plays Mario https://x.com/faadilhshaik/status/2100086301894881578 Jev as a real-time stock buyer and seller https://x.com/jarrodwatts/status/2100356151468585346 Jev organizing and filtering types of words (with demo) https://x.com/stevekrouse/status/2100287368221659289 https://typesafe-demo.val.run/ Jev drone traversal https://x.com/EGafni/status/2100386169100149229 Jev Hero https://jevhero.val.run/ Pause Gate, told through fruit https://x.com/charliebcurran/status/2099981045655556370 Claudio of Anthropos https://x.com/arikuschnir/status/2100555376856830381 Claude Opus 5 makes really cool JavaScript animations https://x.com/kevin_t_ngo/status/2099858454043349342 Gavin's Claude takes a shot at it https://x.com/gavinpurcell/status/2100404534514536955 The AI Seinfeld videos are getting good https://x.com/rydudebro/status/2100055497751646320 MiniMax micro expressions https://x.com/SD_Tutorial/status/2097966014239781051   // Join the AI For Humans community // Join the AI For Humans Discord https://discord.gg/muD2TYgC8f Support AI For Humans on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/AIForHumansShow Subscribe to the AI For Humans newsletter https://aiforhumans.beehiiv.com/ Follow AI For Humans on X: @AIForHumansShow https://x.com/AIForHumansShow Follow AI For Humans on TikTok: @aiforhumansshow https://www.tiktok.com/@aiforhumansshow Speaking and booking https://www.aiforhumans.show/

Dave Rubinstein interviews Gavriel Cohen, creator of NanoClaw, about the state of the project, an open-source multi-agent orchestration tool released in February. NanoClaw quickly gained popularity, with over 30,000 stars and 13,000 forks on GitHub, and a community of 5,000 in Discord. Cohen emphasizes the project's focus on agent isolation, credential management, and policy enforcement to prevent agents from going rogue. He discusses the importance of continuous testing and end-to-end frameworks to adapt to rapidly changing AI models. Cohen also highlights the need for robust security measures, including dedicated AI security agents, to protect against sophisticated attacks and zero-day vulnerabilities.

AI agents have shown remarkable potential to function as persistent digital assistants that are capable of monitoring data, managing communications, and taking action autonomously over long periods. OpenClaw was one of the first serious attempts to fulfill that vision, connecting frontier coding agents to messaging platforms like Slack and WhatsApp and letting them run continuously in the background. However, OpenClaw largely set aside questions of security to pursue that vision, leaving credentials exposed in the agent’s environment and giving agents broad access to data and services far beyond what any given task required. NanoClaw is an open source project that takes a zero trust approach to agent orchestration. Rather than relying on instructions to constrain agent behavior, it isolates each agent in its own Docker container, keeps credentials entirely outside the agent’s environment, and enforces human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive actions. Gavriel Cohen is the founder of NanoClaw and he joins Kevin Ball to discuss the security architecture behind NanoClaw, how the agent sandbox and proxy model work in practice, how agents communicate with each other and with the host orchestration process, how the project approaches context window management and long-lived agent sessions, and more. Kevin Ball or KBall, is the vice president of engineering at Mento and an independent coach for engineers and engineering leaders. He co-founded and served as CTO for two companies, founded the San Diego JavaScript meetup, and organizes the AI inaction discussion group through Latent Space.

In this episode, we're joined by Jeremiah Lowin, Founder & CEO at Prefect and the creator of FastMCP, to explore how one of the most influential projects in the MCP ecosystem came to be - and where the protocol is heading next.We discuss the accidental origin of FastMCP, why Anthropic adopted it into the official SDK, what developers are getting wrong about MCP, and why Chris believes the biggest opportunity for AI agents isn't customer-facing applications, but internal enterprise systems. We also dive into MCP Apps, developer experience, protocol design, AI tooling, Python, and why building great abstractions is often more valuable than exposing more configuration.Along the way, we explore the rapid growth of the MCP ecosystem, how FastMCP became the default way many developers build MCP servers, why "too much magic" can actually hurt developer experience, and what the next generation of AI-powered applications will look like as agents move beyond simple tool calling into rich, interactive experiences.Prefect: https://www.prefect.ioJeremiah Lowin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jlowinDemetrios: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dpbrinkmTimestamps:00:00 Lost My Entire Talk00:47 The Story Behind FastMCP02:08 Anthropic Adopted FastMCP02:34 When MCP Took Off04:10 FastMCP vs The Official SDK05:43 Is MCP Actually Dead?06:42 What Everyone Gets Wrong About MCP08:11 MCP's Biggest Use Case10:25 Building Internal AI Systems12:00 Why FastMCP Exploded13:29 Making Complex Software Simple15:10 Can Software Be Too Magical?20:11 MCP Apps Explained23:42 Why Python Needed MCP Apps27:54 The Future of AI Interfaces34:18 AI Should Generate UIs40:11 AI Deleted My Presentation43:30 The AI Assistant We Actually Need48:00 Personal AI vs SaaS52:28 The Future of AI Agents55:06 Final Thoughts

For most of modern medicine, biological data has been built around population averages: what people like you might experience, rather than what you personally will. In this episode, Dr Andree Bates speaks with Ken Clark, co-founder and CEO of Enigma Genetics, about moving from population models to personal intelligence, and what it could mean for patients, pharma and the future of biological data.Ken shares the personal medical experience that led him into this work. After multiple surgeries and a persistent infection, he found that the data needed to understand what had changed in his own biology simply wasn't available in a useful way. That sparked the idea of creating a personal biological “version history”, a healthy baseline that can be compared against future changes as science and computation improve.The conversation explores Enigma Genetics' vision for an AI that lives within a personal health profile, continuously aggregating genetic data, medical records, imaging, wearables and other health information to help build the most comprehensive picture possible for the individual and their doctor. The goal is not to replace medical judgement, but to give clinicians a richer, more personalised foundation for diagnosis and decision making.Ken also discusses why consent, identity and data ownership need to be rethought. Instead of medical and genetic data being locked inside institutions, Enigma's model imagines a system where individuals control access, grant or revoke consent, and become active participants in how their data is used.The key message is that precision medicine cannot fully mature if it is still built on population-level thinking. To unlock the next stage, biological intelligence may need to become more personal, consented, longitudinal and controlled by the individual.Topics CoveredWhy population models fall short for individual biologyCreating a personal biological “version history”Personal AI profiles for health data and clinical supportGenetic data, imaging, medical records and wearablesConsent, identity, access control and data ownershipReal world evidence and individual-level consentClinical trials, rare disease data and patient participationThe future of personalised biological intelligenceEularis helps pharma and biotech leaders turn AI activity into board-defensible strategy and measurable commercial outcomes.If your organisation has plenty of AI in motion but very little that moves the commercial needle in a way the board can see, start with our 10-Day AI Diagnostic Sprint.

At CES 2026, Lenovo showcased an exciting new AI innovation called QIRA, redefining what personalized technology can offer. This powerful, system-level feature works seamlessly across devices and platforms, enhancing user experience like never before, and it's now being rolled out on select Lenovo devices.In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with Jeff Snow, the Head of Product and AI Ecosystem at Lenovo. We explored the inspiring vision behind QIRA, its capabilities, and how Lenovo is uniquely positioned to offer such an experience. Join us as we dive into how QIRA gathers insights, develops its extensive knowledge base, maintains synchronization across devices, and implements robust measures to protect user privacy and security.Index:00:00 - Intro02:00 - Guest intro (Jeff Snow, VP & Head of Product & AI Ecosystem)02:50 - What is QIRA - Cross-device, local-first personal intelligence03:42 - The vision of QIRA - Uniform "Lenovo AI Experience" across devices05:13 - Organizationally, one team is working on QIRA, implemented on all Lenovo devices06:12 - Examples of what it can do today: Catch me up - Summarize what happened across devices, Pay attention - Summarize meetings, and make it part of the knowledge base across devices, more08:17 - QIRA learns from experiences - Implicitly and explicitly (with user permission), gathers and personal knowledge & insights09:59 - It is more than an OTT app - App interface, but tightly integrated into the machine, even connecting with the OS, utilizes local AI models, and can be surfaced in any other apps12:29 - The inputs to QIRA - Multimodal, text, images, voice, additional context (emails, chats, etc.), system health and telemetry, cross-device artifacts (e.g. notifications)14:00 - Explicit user permission is required before saving any inputs, and it can be revoked at any time. "Humans are always in the loop"15:06 - ALL the data generated by the device is stored locally on that specific device, the vectorized and encrypted data is shared across devices to keep all the devices in sync18:16 - The "learning" happens and is stored in the individual device, and synced across devices20:10 - Hybrid and agile model selection: mix of local, cloud, own, and third-party, with always a local-first approach21:56 - User option "Local-only" or "Hybrid." Even in local-only mode, sync across devices can be enabled23:56 - Most QIRA actions are user-initiated or part of an experience or workflow.23:27 - It can surface suggestions, but not directly take action without direct user intervention28:49 - QIRA can be the primary AI assistant interface on your Lenovo device32:20 - Lenovo is exploiting its unique position, with pocket-to-cloud offerings, to provide a more personalized and well-rounded AI experience to its users32:49 - Key challenges Lenovo faced in bringing QIRA to market: changing the mindset of the team to be software-focused, and moving quickly34:99 - Defenses against accessing QIRA-related data when the device is stolen36:17 - Ability to migrate personal knowledge base from old to new device37:20 - No QIRA knowledge base vector data cloud back-up38:30 - Different peer product in China, QIRA is for the rest of the world39:33 - Evolution of QIRA: More devices, third-party devices, even richer knowledge base & orchestration, enterprise solution39:48 - Portability of QIRA vector database41:20 - Closing

What if your laptop could run its own AI agents — no subscriptions, no data handed off to big tech — all from a chip the size of your palm? That's what Nvidia's RTX Spark is promising, and Josh and Will think it might be the biggest shift in how we use AI since... well, the personal computer.In episode 250, Josh and Will break down what the RTX Spark actually is, why it matters for everyday AI users (not just the hardcore tech crowd), and what "personal computing AI" could mean for privacy, accessibility, and the future of tools like Claude and OpenAI. They also get into the Linus Tech Tips video that sparked the conversation, why Windows is already building toward this, and what open-source tools are doing to get ahead of the curve.--♣️Want to become a HiTech Club member, support the pod, and get all of the extras on our episodes?

Josh and Will sit down with Dan Wolchonok, builder and founder of Work Coach, an AI desktop app that observes your meetings and gives you personalized, unfiltered feedback on how you showed up — and how to do better next time. We dig into how Work Coach detects meeting types (interview? one-on-one? all-hands?), builds longitudinal insights across multiple meetings, and helps you advocate for yourself when your manager simply can't be everywhere. Dan's vision is refreshingly grounded: stop waiting for someone else to develop your career, and start owning it yourself. We loved this conversation so much we literally had to force ourselves to stop recording.Work Coach is currently available free on Mac — go check it out at work.coach.--♣️Want to become a HiTech Club member, support the pod, and get all of the extras on our episodes?

Adam Engst (TidBITS) discusses a malware incident in a long-running public "Slack Bits" group where a bad actor impersonated Glenn Fleishman via a duplicate Slack display name, tricking him into downloading an info-stealer, prompting Engst to consider shutting down the 1,400-member community. The conversation shifts to Anthropic's Mythos and Project Glasswing (as covered by TidBITS security editor Rich Mogull), which reportedly found long-standing bugs (including in OpenBSD and FFmpeg), raising concerns about AI-accelerated vulnerability discovery, defender/attacker asymmetries, costs and compute barriers, and impacts on zero-day markets. They also cover Apple's iOS signing and update/upgrade distinctions, why Apple supports macOS differently than iOS, broader distrust in institutions, social media's advertising/algorithm problems (including Section 230), bots and AI-driven phishing, and the idea of local, user-controlled AI agents to help protect individuals online.   00:00 Welcome Back Adam Engst 00:20 Slack Impersonation Scare 02:15 Cleaning Up a Public Slack 03:40 Mythos and Glasswing Explained 05:19 AI Bug Hunting Reality Check 08:25 Red Team Blue Team Asymmetry 09:50 Compute Costs and Access Barriers 12:19 Trust Ethics and Regulation 17:50 Personal AI Security Agents 23:34 Zero Day Markets and Exploit Kits 25:40 iOS Signing and Update Windows 27:13 Why Macs Get Longer Support 32:06 Scams Incentives and Pig Butchering 34:02 Life Offline and Misinformation 35:41 Social Media Hot Garbage 36:43 Addiction By Design 37:46 Advertising Model Flaw 38:47 Infinite Scroll Limits 39:39 Dunbar Number Reality 40:54 Platform Power Responsibility 42:46 AI Influencers And Slop 43:37 Bots And Fake Accounts 46:33 AI Phishing And Passkeys 49:21 Closed Communities Trust 53:25 CAPTCHAs And Human Help 56:08 Section 230 And Algorithms 57:46 Chronological Feed Fix 59:35 Two Week News Rule 01:02:41 Ads In Maps Backlash 01:04:10 Wrap Up And Next Part

Hello friends! Picking up the AI-automation series from a couple weeks back — here's another batch of scripts and integrations that have been giving me precious minutes (and sanity) back. Yes, I had to upgrade to Claude Max. No, I'm not trying to automate myself out of a job — just freeing up bandwidth for the more interesting parts of work/life. QuickBooks invoice automation: Got tired of the eight-factor login plus click-fest just to send a few invoices. Now I run a PowerShell menu — type the client name, pick the project, enter the amount, hit Enter — done in ~30 seconds. The QuickBooks dev onboarding (security questionnaire, IP allowlist) was actually a bigger time sink than the script itself. Password Pusher API integration: A menu-driven PowerShell script that prompts for a label, pops an Explorer window to grab the files, optionally adds a password, then auto-drafts the client email with the secure link filled in. A few minutes saved each time, a couple times a day — adds up to some nice time saved! Basecamp + Claude: Linked Basecamp into a Claude project so I can ask plain-English questions like "what personal project tasks are due this month?" or just voice-note a new task while I'm in the car. Honestly the biggest win is anxiety reduction — once it's in Claude, it's out of my always-simmering pressure cooker of a brain. Blumira agent auto-installer for the GOAD lab: I revert the GOAD lab to vanilla a couple times a week, which means re-installing Blumira agents constantly to show clients the attack/defense telemetry side. Wrote a Kali-side script that uses NetExec over WinRM to check each box for the Blumira service and push the installer if it's missing. (Tried SMB exec first, but escaping got wonky on the PowerShell one-liner.) Bonus: Blumira's dashboard auto-removes agents that haven't phoned home in 24 hours, which is a perfect fit for a lab that's constantly getting nuked. Auphonic + API for podcast production: This one's a little meta. Old workflow: record → drag into Hindenburg/GarageBand → manually line up intro and outro → noise reduction → export. New workflow: one terminal script that previews the first and last few seconds so I can trim silence, ships the audio to Auphonic via API, and returns a cleaned-up, levels-corrected MP3 plus a full transcript and auto-generated chapter markers. (If your podcast app supports chapters (like Downcast) pop open this episode or #720 and you'll see them.) Next step: pipe the transcript straight into Claude for a show notes first draft. One quick personal note before I run: my oldest son just landed an EMT job with a great Minnesota medical network, and is wrapping up paramedic school in a few months.  I cried some happy dad tears today.

Avec la sortie du Snapdragon Wear Elite, Qualcomm mise sur le concept de « Personal AI », une intelligence capable d'anticiper les besoins des utilisateurs en s'appuyant sur leurs habitudes et leur contexte. Grâce à cette puce intégrant des unités de traitement dédiées à l'IA, des systèmes pourront analyser des données directement sur les appareils, sans passer par le nuage, améliorant ainsi la rapidité et la confidentialité. Cette approche ouvre la voie à une nouvelle génération d'objets connectés, plus autonomes et interconnectés. L'objectif est de réduire les interactions avec les écrans au profit d'actions automatisées et personnalisées. Reste à voir comment ces usages s'intégreront concrètement dans le quotidien des utilisateurs. J'en discute avec Joséphine F de Ruidiaz, Responsable mondial des communications chez Qualcomm pour Snapdragon XR, les appareils connectés portables et l'IA personnelle.

Hey friends! After last week's heavy episode about my wife's health scare in Punta Cana, today's is a lighter one. (Quick update: she's doing better – still recovering, but appetite's back and she's got some pep again. Thanks so much to everyone who sent kind messages.) Today I'm gushing about how AI has been making my IT and security life way more efficient: Firewall migration: Had AI walk me through a WatchGuard T15W → T25W migration (no clean config export path). AI captured everything – screenshots, branch office VPN, VLANs, firewall rules, DHCP reservations – all organized and replayed step-by-step. The whole project took ~1 hr 15 min (plus 30 min hunting down a subnet typo that was 100% my fault). GOAD lab automation: Worked with AI to build a script that handles the full lifecycle of my Light Pentest GOAD student lab – tear it down, rebuild from latest, assign Tommy Boy-themed passwords and sync user accounts to the Apache Guacamole and lab connections. Speaking of which – Light Pentest GOAD class will be re-offered soon once the calendar firms up! External pentest wrapper scripts: Finally automated the boring auxiliary testing stuff – nmap, Shodan API, Nessus queuing, subdomain hijacking checks, metadata searches, cred spraying against M365, sysleaks lookups – all correlated and deduplicated into one push-button menu. SysReptor automation: If you're not using SysReptor for reporting, check it out. Piping JSON findings straight into reports via API as I test has been a game-changer. A webinar on this might be in 7MinSec's future. Got cool ways you're using AI for IT/security work? We'd love to hear them!

There's tons of confusion about what we're all building towards with Personal AI. Are we building Agents? AI Harnesses? To what end? In this video I lay why I think we're all heading towards a single place that we should start getting ready for now. I think getting this early will put you 1-3 years ahead of everyone.Become a Member: https://danielmiessler.com/upgradeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AJ breaks down a fast-moving shift: a world where every employee from intern to CEO—builds their own AI-powered tools, workflows, and “personal tech stack” to drive performance.But this isn't just about productivity. It's about culture.What happens when teams are expected to continuously build, audit, and share their tools every 90 days? When alignment isn't a meeting but a living system powered by individual innovation?This episode explores the next 6–18 month reality:Personal AI tools as a professional standardTeams operating on shared, evolving “recipes.”Alignment becoming the true north star—not just outputAnd why the real advantage isn't just better tech… it's better humansShort, sharp, and forward-looking.

Most people think going to the gym for aesthetics is shallow. Science says it's actually the most honest starting point you've got and the person making that argument built one of the most respected evidence-based fitness companies in the world, openly used steroids, and then had surgery to remove his love handles. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mike Israetel, PhD in Sport Physiology and co-founder of Renaissance Periodization. We break down why two 20 minute workouts a week can build genuine muscle, why compound movements beat isolation exercises for nearly everyone, and why yoga and Pilates will not get you the physique you're after. Mike also opens up about his own use of anabolic steroids and cosmetic surgery, and makes the case that aesthetics pursued honestly and without shame is one of the most empowering conversations in health. Then we go deep on the future of the human body: GLP-1s, myostatin inhibitors, retatrutide, and why Mike believes that by the 2040s, no disease we can identify today will still exist. We also cover AI-driven medicine, recursive self-improvement, the brain rot epidemic, and what's inside his upcoming book The Aesthetics Revolution. This conversation will completely change how you think about why you train, how you train, and what the human body is about to become.

We're recording this from Jackson Hole after three days of wheeling and dealing—and yes, canceling meetings for powder. This week we're going deep on OpenClaw. The meetup had 1,500 people show up (Kevin Rose, Marissa Mayer, Ashton Kutcher were some notable guests). And now we're all spending thousands of dollars a month on AI agents we've named after Friends characters while debating whether "developer" is even a job title anymore.We talk about:•⁠ ⁠Why founders are working 24/7 and possibly burning out•⁠ ⁠The decentralized AI future (and why it's not great for OpenAI)•⁠ ⁠Dark software factories where only agents write code•⁠ ⁠Whether everyone's jobs are about to disappear (spoiler: we disagree)•⁠ ⁠The SaaS-pocalypse coming for legacy software•⁠ ⁠Personal AI sovereignty and why Apple's just sitting back laughingAlso: Google's CC assistant is… fine?

DC EKG with Joe Grogan: A Healthcare Policy Podcast Ep. 122 In this episode of DC EKG with Joe Grogan: A Healthcare Policy Podcast, Joe recaps the first Healthcare AI Policy Summit, held on December 10th in Washington, DC, with his co-host for the event, Naomi Lopez, founder of Nexus Policy Consulting. They walk through the big themes shaping healthcare AI right now: how HHS is approaching AI adoption, what real regulatory clarity could look like, and how new federal initiatives like ACCESS and TEMPO may reshape chronic disease management for Medicare patients. Joe and Naomi unpack HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O'Neill's view of AI in government, from using large models to improve physician productivity, payment integrity, and care coordination to managing privacy and re-identification risk when working with federal health data. They dig into the ACCESS Medicare payment model and the FDA TEMPO initiative, explaining how these pilots test AI and machine learning tools in real-world chronic disease management (hypertension, diabetes, musculoskeletal pain, and depression), and what that means for Medicare payment models, FDA oversight, and healthcare innovation. The conversation then widens to physician burnout, interoperability, rural care, and the role of states and federal preemption in setting the rules for healthcare AI. If you care about the real-world impact of healthcare AI on policy, payment, and patients, this episode offers a clear, practical summary of what the summit revealed and what to watch next. Today Joe and Naomi cover: Jim O'Neill's vision for AI at HHS, including internal AI adoption and keeping a direct line open for small innovators. ACCESS and TEMPO as new federal test beds for AI in chronic disease management and Medicare payment. How wearables, remote monitoring, and “virtual ICU” models can support aging in place and reduce pressure on state budgets. Ways AI can reduce documentation burden, support care coordination, and act as a first-line triage tool without replacing clinicians. The emerging idea of personal AI agents that help patients navigate the system and share the right data with clinicians. How AI-enabled diagnostics and tools can expand access in rural and underserved communities. Why interoperability, ONC's API rules, and the balance between state AI regulation and federal preemption will shape how quickly these tools scale. The potential for tech companies to become Medicare Part B providers under ACCESS, and what that means for reimbursement and competition. Key Takeaways: Healthcare AI is being built into policy through programs like ACCESS and TEMPO, tying AI tools to Medicare payment and FDA pathways in chronic disease management. Regulatory clarity and predictable routes from FDA clearance to Medicare reimbursement are essential for sustained AI adoption. AI is currently most valuable as a force multiplier for physician productivity, taking on administrative and analytic work so clinicians can focus on patients. Personal AI agents may become a primary interface between patients and the health system, coordinating data, benefits, and care. Rural and underserved communities could benefit significantly if payment and regulatory rules support AI-enabled diagnostics and remote care. Interoperability, state AI laws, and federal preemption will determine whether healthcare AI stays in pilots or reaches patients nationwide. Joe's guest, Naomi Lopez, is the founder of Nexus Policy Consulting and a leading voice in healthcare policy, healthcare AI, and state health reform. She co-founded a healthcare AI working group with Joe Grogan and co-hosted the inaugural Healthcare AI Policy Summit on December 10th in Washington, DC.

This bonus AI Operators episode experiments with a skills-focused format inside the AI Daily Brief community, using the New Year's AI resolution program as a live case study. The episode walks through week two's “model mapping” challenge and why building a personal mental map of which models and tools excel at which tasks can be one of the biggest sources of practical AI leverage. It then goes hands-on with a newly vibe-coded Model Map Builder app, covering its use case library, testing workflow, scoring system, and model history views, alongside a candid look at how fast, low-stakes software gets built using tools like Lovable, Claude, and WhisperFlow. The broader takeaway is a shift from thinking about AI usage to continuously translating opportunities into small, living pieces of software, and how that mindset is becoming central to being an effective AI operator in 2026.Link to the model map: https://aidbmodelmap.com/Insanely cheesy theme music: created with Suno

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Eli Lopian, author of AICracy and founder of aicracy.ai, about how artificial intelligence could transform the way societies govern themselves. They explore the limitations of modern democracy, the idea of AI-guided lawmaking based on fairness and abundance, and how technology might bring us closer to a more participatory, transparent form of governance. The conversation touches on prediction markets, social media's influence on truth, the future of work in an abundance economy, and why human creativity, imperfection, and connection will remain central in an AI-driven world.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Eli Lopian introduces his book AICracy and shares why democracy needs a new paradigm for governance in the age of AI. 05:00 They explore AI-driven decision-making, fairness in lawmaking, and the abundance measure as a new way to evaluate social well-being. 10:00 Discussion turns to accountability, trust, and Eli's idea of three AIs—government, opposition, and NGO—balancing each other to prevent corruption. 15:00 Stewart connects these ideas to non-linearity and organic governance, while Eli describes systems evolving like cities rather than rigid institutions. 20:00 They discuss decade goals, city-state models, and the role of social media in shaping public perception and truth. 25:00 The focus shifts to truth detection, prediction markets, and feedback systems ensuring “did it actually happen?” accountability. 30:00 They talk about abundance economies, AI mentorship, and redefining human purpose beyond traditional work. 35:00 Eli emphasizes creativity, connection, and human error as valuable, contrasting social media's dopamine loops with genuine human experience. 40:00 The episode closes with reflections on social currency, self-healing governance, and optimism about AI as a mirror of humanity.Key InsightsDemocracy is evolving beyond its limits. Eli Lopian argues that traditional democracy—one person, one vote—no longer fits an age where individuals have vastly different technological capacities. With AI empowering some to act with exponential influence, he suggests governance should evolve toward systems that are more adaptive, participatory, and continuous rather than episodic.AI-guided lawmaking could ensure fairness. Lopian's concept of AICracy imagines an AI system that drafts laws based on measurable outcomes like equity and happiness. Using what he calls the abundance measure, this system would assess how proposed laws affect societal well-being—balancing freedoms, security, and fairness across all citizens.Trust and accountability must be engineered. To prevent corruption or bias in AI governance, Lopian envisions three independent AIs—a coalition, an opposition, and an NGO—cross-verifying results and exposing inconsistencies. This triad ensures transparency and keeps human oversight meaningful.Governance should be organic, not mechanical. Drawing inspiration from cities, Lopian and Alsop compare governance to an ecosystem that adapts and self-corrects. Like urban growth, effective systems arise from real-world feedback, where successful ideas take root and failing ones fade away naturally.Truth requires new forms of verification. The pair discuss how lies spread faster than truth online and propose an algorithmic “speed of a lie” metric to flag misinformation. They connect this to prediction markets and feedback loops as potential ways to keep governance accountable to real-world outcomes.The abundance economy redefines purpose. As AI reduces the need for traditional jobs, Lopian imagines a society centered on creativity, mentorship, and personal fulfillment. Governments could guarantee access to mentors—human or AI—to help people discover their passions and contribute meaningfully without economic pressure.Human connection is the new currency. In contrast to social media's exploitation of human weakness, the future Lopian envisions values imperfection, authenticity, and shared experience. As AI automates production, what remains deeply human—emotion, error, and presence—becomes the most precious and sustaining form of wealth.
