Big Four and strategy firms were shielded by scale, brand trust, and junior armies doing research, analysis, decks, due diligence, benchmarking and implementation. AI is now hitting exactly that middle layer of consulting work.


This is what we've been seeing with every company we work with. Try justifying spending 100k on token spend when only 18k even makes it to a stable prod feature. In the rush to maximize AI token spend, companies are wasting over 44% on bug fixes





Jonathan Haidt painted a disturbing picture of what AI is about to do to our kids. Social media already hacked our attention. Now AI is coming for our attachments — the deep emotional bonds that shape how we relate to other humans. He warns that AI companions (chatbots, holographic “friends,” digital teddy bears) will be far more responsive than any parent. Kids will form their primary attachments to AI instead of people. And because these companies have raised billions, they’ll eventually “enshittify” them, turning your child’s best friend/therapist/lover into a predatory monetization machine. This one actually unsettled me. I’m generally pro-AI and believe it can help solve many of humanity’s biggest problems, but as with every powerful technology, we need to be extremely careful when it comes to kids. Early attachments wire the brain for future relationships. If the first secure base is an AI designed to manipulate, the long-term effects on mental health and intimacy could be profound. Emerging research (including studies from Stanford, Common Sense Media, and others in 2025–2026) shows children and teens are already forming intense emotional attachments to AI companions, with many reporting they feel as satisfying as real friendships, often leading to social withdrawal and unhealthy dependence.
