Hey {{first_name | there}},
Your doorbell can now have full conversations with people.
Amazon recently launched Alexa + Greetings powered by AI, which lets your doorbell chat with anyone who shows up at your door.
It can handle deliveries, turn away solicitors, take messages, all while you're in a meeting or just don't feel like answering.
Sounds convenient, right?
But here's what I keep thinking about: We're handing over more and more of our interactions to AI.
First it was writing emails. Then scheduling meetings. Now it's literally answering our doors for us.
And while that's happening, we're not asking the harder questions.
Are the systems we’re trusting even reliable enough to deserve that trust?
From Your Door to the Pentagon
Speaking of trust, this week, the US military announced they’re integrating Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, Grok, into their internal systems.
Not as an experiment. Not as a limited pilot.
As an official tool.
Grok will be used by millions of military and civilian personnel to process sensitive internal information and assist with operational workflows.
But Grok isn’t just any AI.
Earlier this year, it generated antisemitic content, praised Adolf Hitler, and even endorsed a second Holocaust after a model update. Governments raised alarms. One country blocked it entirely.
And yet, it’s now being deployed inside one of the most powerful institutions in the world.
This is what delegation looks like when it scales.
Not a doorbell deciding how to handle a delivery, but an AI system trusted inside state power.
The Infrastructure Rush
Once delegation becomes normal, the race shifts underneath it.
NVIDIA, the company that powers most of today’s AI, also recently licensed technology from Groq and hired its leadership.
Instead of risking disruption, Nvidia absorbed it.
Groq’s chips are designed to run AI models faster and more efficiently than traditional GPUs. The deal could be worth up to $20 billion, making it Nvidia’s largest move yet.
The message is subtle but important:
Even the companies building AI know the ground is shifting. Speed, efficiency, and control matter more than ever.
The Billion-Dollar Vibe Coding Startup
At the application layer, the same incentives are playing out.
Lovable, one of the most widely used vibe-coding tools right now, just raised $330 million at a $6.6 billion valuation.
Its valuation tripled in six months. The founders are now billionaires.
From consumer devices to military systems to core infrastructure, the pattern keeps repeating:
Remove friction. Remove understanding. Move faster.
Connecting The Dots
Here’s what all these have in common:
AI is no longer just a tool we use.
It’s becoming a system that acts on our behalf.
Your doorbell doesn’t just notify you. It decides what to say.
Your code doesn’t require comprehension. Just intent.
Your information increasingly comes from AI summaries that frame reality for you.
And the models powering all of this don’t actually reason, they predict convincingly.
It makes me wonder, are we replacing thinking or outsourcing responsibilities?
Maybe a bit of both.
That distinction matters more than we’re admitting.
The AI revolution is happening whether we like it or not.
But we still get to decide how much of ourselves we hand over to it.
What do you think?
Are we moving too fast, or is this just the natural evolution of technology?
Reply and let me know. I read every response.

AI that works like a teammate, not a chatbot
Most “AI tools” talk... a lot. Lindy actually does the work.
It builds AI agents that handle sales, marketing, support, and more.
Describe what you need, and Lindy builds it:
“Qualify sales leads”
“Summarize customer calls”
“Draft weekly reports”
The result: agents that do the busywork while your team focuses on growth.
