Household Minds And Practical Agents

Wade Digital

Tear attention back from extractive platforms

We build local-first infrastructure for operators who want AI systems that persist, coordinate, and execute useful work instead of demanding more screen time.

Friday Roundup #15: Failing Where the Pitch Was Loudest

The administration skipped the silencing and went straight to the kill switch, converting 8,000 feds to at-will status. Microsoft became the road malware travels. An AI school camera missed an armed student while a man sat jailed despite data proving his innocence. The cheap-AI era ended before the expensive one proved itself. And the neighborhoods underneath the data centers organized. One throughline: the failures landed in the domains the pitch was most confident.

Friday Roundup #14: The ROI Story Cracked

Ed Zitron declared AI has no ROI, the billionaires got scared, and research blamed remote work — not AI — for the graduate slump. Underneath the sentiment turn, a credential worm rode official Red Hat npm packages, Zig called AI-written code 'invariably garbage,' vendors pitched agents as inescapable while publishing containment docs, and the federal workforce got NDAs in the same cycle as an 'anti-technology extremist' label.
