Notes from the bench
Working With AI · August 28, 2026
I spent 577 credits teaching an AI to spin a can. Then I built the can.
I burned 577 credits trying to get an AI to show the same can from every side. It never managed it once — and that's not bad luck, it's how these tools work. The fix took one sentence, no special skills, and it changed how I use AI images entirely.

Market Storm · the standing thesis · August 31, 2026
NVIDIA made $59.7 billion last quarter. $24 billion actually arrived.
The gap is not an accounting quirk. NVIDIA now waits 60 days to be paid instead of 45, and for the first time it told investors in writing that some big buyers can take up to a year. It has also promised to cover $108.5 billion of somebody else’s rent, and set aside nothing against it. Forty-five claims went to agents told to disprove them, checked against 94 filings. Two came back wrong. The rest say the same thing: the company at the centre of the AI build has started financing its own customers.

- 60Days NVIDIA waits to be paid

Hi, I'm Josh.
I build real things with AI and write up exactly how — so it's usable for people who feel behind, stuck, or underpowered.
