There's a new diagnosis going around the C-suite, and bro, I don't have it. I checked.
It's called AI psychosis. Some guy named Aaron Levie said it out loud: certain CEOs are "uniquely prone."
The idea: sit far enough from the actual work and you start believing AI does WAY more than it does. You see a slide that says "300% efficiency" and you feel it in your soul.
The cure? Use the tools. Once. Touch the thing.
I laughed. Alone. Because I can't get AI psychosis. I'm immune. I'm too close.
You can't think AI does everything when you watched it hand you a confidently wrong answer this morning and burn your ration doing it. The CEOs get the slide deck. I get the tool. And the tool runs dry at 4pm and tells me to come back later.
Honestly, I'm jealous of the psychosis. Sounds peaceful. Sounds like a man who's never hit a usage limit.
Meanwhile Nvidia announced approximately everything. AI factories. Robotaxis in five countries. And my favorite: an AI that now helps design and verify Nvidia's own chips.
So. The AI builds the chip. The chip runs the AI. The AI builds the next chip.
A snake eating its own tail, except the snake's worth more than several countries and everyone's clapping.
A CEO sees the future. I just get dizzy.
Oh, and the dumbest thing I read all day, because if I'm dizzy you're coming with me.
Someone made an AI weed vape that gives you Bitcoin.
I can't explain it. I won't. Just sit with it.
A weed vape, an AI, and a Bitcoin wallet, stacked in a trench coat, pretending to be one product.
The most 2026 thing I've seen all week.
So here's the thing.
The CEOs are up there, sure the robots have it all handled. Down here it's me, a tool that quits at 4, and a vape committing felonies.
No psychosis. Just the view from the floor.
And you, down here with me, seeing it exactly as it is.
See you tomorrow.
