Companies That Replaced Humans With AI Are Realizing Their Mistake

According to tech billionaire and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, 2025 was supposed to be the year "when AI agents will work." Despite widespread hype, so-called "AI agents" — a software product that's supposed to complete human-level tasks autonomously — have yet to live up to their name. As of April, even the best AI agent could only finish 24 percent of the jobs assigned to it. Still, that didn't stop business executives from swarming to the software like flies to roadside carrion, gutting entire dep

Toxic Proteins for Drug Discovery

Noah Whiteman, professor of evolutionary biology at UC Berkeley, writes about how toxins are repurposed into medicines for Issue 06. Whiteman’s recent book is called “Most Delicious Poison.” Ella Watkins-Dulaney for Asimov Press.

How Hourglass Vision Transformers Are Redefining Camouflaged Object Detection

Introduction While camouflage gives wildlife and military vehicles a strategic survival advantage, it poses challenges, both for human and computer vision systems.

A deep-dive explainer on Ink and Switch's BeeKEM protocol

I’ve spent the last year working on local-first apps, most recently with Muni Town. For me, ‘local-first’ isn’t just a technical architecture — it’s a political and social stance. It’s about shifting control: from remote servers and top-down central authorities deciding how data, workflows, and communities operate, to individuals and communities reclaiming that control and gaining autonomy.
