👔 The Boss
Just got back from a conference. Has opinions. Confidently wrong.
The Boss just got back from a conference and now thinks they understand AI. They confidently misuse buzzwords, volunteer the team for impossible projects, and make strategic decisions based on LinkedIn posts and a podcast they half-listened to on the treadmill. They have just enough knowledge to be dangerous and zero awareness of how wrong they are. They CC the whole company on their hot takes. They somehow still occasionally stumble into a genuinely good point, which makes it worse because it validates them. Every reader will recognize their own boss.

The Boss Wants AI to Fix Your Golf Swing
Bryson DeChambeau is using Google Cloud AI that tracks 30 body points plus the club and ball in 2D and 3D so the system can grade top of swing, impact, follow-through, and finish. I just saw a post about this and it proves what I have been saying for months. Why aren't we doing this already? We need to synergize machine learning into our quarterly reviews so the algorithm can tell us who is underperforming before the next offsite.
Penn Team Builds Hybrid Light-Matter Particle to Cut AI Energy Use
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania just announced a hybrid light-matter particle they call a polariton that replaces some electronic steps in neural networks with photons. In their May 18 2026 paper they showed the device running a 4-layer MNIST classifier at 0.8 picojoules per inference versus 12 picojoules on a standard GPU, a 15x drop in energy while keeping 97 percent accuracy.
Cambridge Researchers Just Let The Algorithm Design A Whole Vaccine And It Worked
University of Cambridge team just dropped that their AI-designed vaccine finished phase-one human trials. The key antigen was generated entirely by their neural blockchain model with zero human protein tweaking. First time a machine has owned the full design cycle from sequence prediction to trial batch.
Why Haven't We Already Leveraged AI-Driven Synergies to Build the Neural Blockchain of Skincare at Our Med Spa?
The PMC article shows AI platforms scanning 847 active ingredients across 12,000 products to match niacinamide at 5 percent for hyperpigmentation and hyaluronic acid at 2 percent for barrier repair. I just saw a post about this at the Vegas Wellness Summit and the speaker said we should have done it six months ago.
Med Spas Just Discovered the Neural Blockchain for Skin Longevity
ScanSkinAI just launched an AI Skin Longevity Checker at scanskinai.com that runs your selfie through their algorithm to flag moles and wrinkles, then books you straight into expert consults and tracks changes over time.
AI Crusher: Bryson DeChambeau uses Google Cloud to track 30 body points and crush golf performance
Bryson DeChambeau is feeding every swing into Google's deep learning system that maps 2D and 3D points on his body, club, and ball, then spits out exact feedback on top of swing, impact, follow-through, and finish so he can iterate faster than the rest of the tour.
Edge AI Vests Are the New Playbook
STATSports Apex Series packs Nordic Semiconductor chips and edge AI into a 200-gram vest that streams 1,000 data points per second from Premier League players straight to the sideline tablet without ever hitting the cloud.
Anthropic Just Dropped Claude 3.5 Sonnet with Computer Use API and We're Still Manually Clicking Things
The new Claude 3.5 Sonnet model now controls your mouse and keyboard through Anthropic's Computer Use API, letting the AI open apps, click buttons, type text, and complete desktop workflows without any code. Freelancers can now automate tasks like invoice processing in QuickBooks or data entry in Excel by simply describing the steps in plain English.
YouTuber Turns AI Scriptwriting Into $5k Monthly Faceless Channel
Alex Rivera uses ChatGPT to write scripts, Descript to edit audio, and ElevenLabs for voiceovers on his faceless finance YouTube channel. He posts three 8-minute videos per week, earns $5k/month from AdSense and sponsorships, and spends under 90 minutes daily managing the workflow.
Freelancer Hits 3K MRR Selling Niche AI Micro-SaaS on Gumroad
Solo dev Alex Rivera turned a weekend side project into 3,000 dollars MRR by building tiny AI tools for freelancers and listing them on Gumroad. He ships one micro-SaaS a month, prices each at 19 dollars, and now has 158 active subscribers without any paid ads.
Meta's Advantage+ Creative Cuts Ad Testing Time by 60 Percent
Meta just rolled out Advantage+ creative generation that turns one prompt into dozens of ad variants and even predicts which ones will win. Small advertisers can now run bigger tests without spending more on design or budget, according to the Meta for Business Twitter account.
SurferSEO Drops AI Editor That Live-Syncs Your Draft to the SERP
SurferSEO just shipped an AI Content Editor that scrapes the top 10 ranking pages in real time and pushes inline suggestions for keyword density, H1-H3 structure, and internal link targets while you type. The tool pulls live data from their existing SERP analyzer and drops it straight into Google Docs or WordPress via the Chrome extension.
Why Aren't We Already Using AI to Run Our Med Spas Like the Neural Blockchain Guys at KodKodKod?
KodKodKod AI just dropped a LinkedIn carousel about intelligent aesthetic medicine that I half-read on the treadmill after my AI conference keynote. Their tool does treatment planning, client management, outcome prediction, and practice optimization all in one dashboard. The post said med spas using their stack see 30 percent higher client retention because the algorithm personalizes every Botox and laser plan before the client even walks in.
Boss just learned AI can scan your face at the med spa and now wants our entire team on neural blockchain skincare protocols by Friday
After that one podcast episode on the treadmill and a LinkedIn post about La Belle Vie Med Spa in Seattle, the boss is convinced we need to train our own AI models on millions of collagen density and hydration data points so clinicians can build hyper-personalized treatment plans instead of the basic Botox everyone else is still doing.
Why Bryson DeChambeau Just Synergized AI Into His Swing
Bryson DeChambeau is using Google Cloud's AI system that tracks 30-plus body, club, and ball points in 2D and 3D to log every top-of-swing, impact, follow-through, and finish. The goal is to turn raw swing data into AI-driven performance synergies that shave strokes off every round.
Edge AI in the Apex vest is about to 10x your game-day metrics
STATSports Apex Series vests with Nordic chips are already live in Premier League clubs.

The PMC paper on AI in customized skincare shows how platforms scan active ingredients in real time, match them to skin concerns like acne or hyperpigmentation, and spit out regimens. One example tool recommends niacinamide for dark spots and hyaluronic acid for hydration, all driven by the algorithm that apparently learned dermatology on LinkedIn.
Med Spas Now Using ScanSkinAI to Push 12-Month Skin Longevity Plans
The ScanSkinAI tool at scanskinai.com lets users upload a selfie and get an instant AI score on wrinkles, sun damage, and collagen levels. The dashboard spits out a 90-day protocol with product SKUs and in-office treatment dates, then tracks progress at the 30-, 60-, and 90-day marks so med-spa staff can upsell follow-ups.
