Our vision

As I was writing this edition I stumbled upon the trailer for The AI Doc. We are living in unprecedented times in terms of technologically fueled progress and the researchers in that documentary look like they’re going to pull back the curtain on what’s really going on right now in the AI industry. I’m intrigued to see how dire our situation could be based on the recent exits from multiple AI risk management researchers.

OpenAI’s purchase of OpenClaw and hiring of its creator is testament to the incoming wave of B2A economical opportunity. Being AI-native will be a requirement for any business that wants to scale in the new economy.

We are thinking about this as we develop our own product Hostr.social. A group dining platform that aims to eliminate the headache of scheduling and paying for a dinner with friends, family or colleagues. By ensuring that AI agents can interact with our platform from day one we are positioning ourselves as an entrant into the B2A economy.

As much as I do enjoy how quickly we are flying into the future, a drone swarm competition held by the government and will have representation from Elon Musk and Sam Altman? That wasn’t on my bingo card for this year. A dangerous competition with high stakes. We’ll be following along to see what they will actually tell us about this in terms of progress and results.
