The state of AI in 2025

By the end of 2025, arguments about whether AI 'works' have quietly ended. The technology works well enough that 86% of professionals report time savings—yet 69% hide their use from colleagues. Not because AI fails, but because they fear judgment, job loss, or simply getting assigned more work for the same pay. The real questions are no longer about capability but about who is using AI, for what, under what constraints, and at what cost.

Why Agentic AI Won’t Replace Project Managers and What It Will Replace Instead

If you've watched developers work with Claude Code or Cursor over the past year, you've seen something genuinely new: not AI as autocomplete, but AI as a collaborator running tight, iterative loops. The tool takes a problem, gathers context, executes against the codebase, checks its work, and iterates until something compiles and passes tests. It's...

The AI Industry Just Poured Concrete

On Monday, the Linux Foundation announced the Agentic AI Foundation, and the press releases hit all the right notes: "neutral governance," "open standards," "community-driven innovation." Anthropic donated its Model Context Protocol. OpenAI contributed AGENTS.md. Block threw in goose. Nearly every major tech company signed on as a member. The stated goal is to ensure AI agents "evolve transparently and collaboratively."

The Shadow Project Manager

It's 4:47 PM on a Friday in November. I'm staring at an email that just landed in my inbox—a wall of text from a colleague, who's been wrestling with a data integration project for a fleet management client. The message is chaos. Complaints about field ordering. Missing data points. A terminology dispute nobody can resolve....

The New Wintel: How NVIDIA and OpenAI Mirror—and Magnify—Tech’s Most Dangerous Monopoly Patterns

When NVIDIA reported third-quarter revenue of $57 billion, up 62 percent, Wall Street breathed a collective sigh of relief. The AI bubble, it seemed, had been granted another reprieve. But beneath the headline-grabbing numbers lies a financial architecture that should trouble anyone who remembers the tech industry's previous monopolies—and the catastrophic collapses that eventually broke...

When AI agents run a startup

In August 2025, journalist Evan Ratliff cofounded a startup staffed entirely by AI agents. Five virtual employees—each with email, Slack, phone capabilities, and their own synthetic voices—collaborated to build a product, run marketing, and handle operations. Three months later, HurumoAI had shipped working software and attracted genuine VC interest. It also nearly collapsed multiple times...

Anthropic’s data shows AI adoption is creating a global digital divide

The future, it turns out, is unevenly distributed—and we now have the data to prove it. Anthropic's latest Economic Index report reveals striking geographic disparities in AI adoption that could reshape global economic inequality for decades to come, painting a picture of a world where access to transformative technology depends heavily on where you happen...

The LLM Cost Paradox: How “Cheaper” AI Models Are Breaking Budgets

In the seemingly upside-down world of artificial intelligence economics, getting cheaper has never been more expensive. While headlines celebrate the dramatic fall in AI token pricing—with costs decreasing by 10x every year for equivalent performance—a growing number of AI companies are discovering that their bills are actually skyrocketing. The culprit? A fundamental shift in how...

Vertikale KI-Agenten: Der nächste SaaS-Boom?

Ähnlich wie bei dem SaaS-Boom in den 2000er Jahren, die viele unvorbereitet traf, bevor sie ein Ökosystem von Billionen-Dollar-Unternehmen hervorbrachte, sind vertikale KI-Agenten in der Lage, immense Werte für Unternehmen zu generieren. Sie rationalisieren nicht nur sich wiederholende Arbeitsabläufe, sondern versprechen auch, ganze Teams zu ersetzen, Betriebskosten zu senken und Unternehmen in die Lage zu...
