What you'll see
🧮
The math, plainly
Linear algebra without the algebra. A 3×3 mixer you can drag. A toy transformer that actually spells a word.
🏗️
What's inside a modern AI
Hover over each piece of a real architecture diagram — safety filters, tool use, retrieval, the model core, and more.
💻
AI & code
How "vibe-coding" works, why models pass software-engineering benchmarks now, and the honest caveats.
🔌
The new plumbing
MCP servers and "Skills" — the duct tape connecting models to the rest of the software you use.
⚖️
Costs & trade-offs
Datacenter energy, hardware shortages, wealth concentration, and the entry-level jobs being hollowed out.
🔭
Where it's going
Three plausible 5-year scenarios — without hype and without doom.
