2026 Master list
Here are some things happening this year in AI, gaming, movies & tech.
AI:
- Evolution of AI agents into self learning and self improvement agents. First example was @karpathy 's autoresearch and to some extent @openclaw (thanks to incredible work by Peter) with the ability to update its own files (.md)
- Computers (as personal computers) have a new (alternative) definition now, thanks to Perplexity & Cursor - building on openclaw's original idea
- Voice AI improvements - lower latencies and making open source models ready for some major business usecases.
- Agentic applications make it to the mainstream (e.g, Google Gemini app being able to order your Uber or your groceries) for the first time.
- Sneak peek of Apple Intelligence powered by Gemini at wwdc 2026 (@apple)
Movies:
- Nolan's next movie
- Spielberg's next movie
- Next Toy Story
Games:
- GTA 6
- Forza Horizon Japan - First major racing game set in Japan on modern day hardware
- Fable - Highly immersive RPG with a lot of fun elements
- Wolverine - The newest marvel classic character finally has a game (before Blade)
Tech:
- Next Gen Console Updates
- iPhone's first ever foldable expected with no crease - first major innovation in foldables in a while since redesigning of hinges
- Redesigned MacBooks expected with OLED Touchscreens
- 2nd Gen of Ray-Ban Displays & further iterations on AR/XR glasses
- Steam Frame, Machine & Controller - their first slate of hardware releases since Steam Deck's popularity
- Phasing out of consumer PC builds as we know it due to rising prices and shortages in GPU, SSD & RAM. First year where push for cloud begins.
There is a lot more I have missed that's happening or expected to happen this year and will keep updating it.
Please note that these are my personal opinions as to what's expected.
Officially looking around again!
Starting my next chapter in Toronto after close to 2 years in Montreal comes to a close.
📍 Toronto (In Person + Remote)
👨💻 Full Stack/AI (Sr, Mid, Management)
🤖 AI agents, architecture, devops
🛠️ 5 years building in 3 startups with TS/JS, Python. Last 3 yrs in AI (voice and custom agents). Led platforms for enterprises.
Anyone in Montreal free this Thursday? I would like a hand with moving some stuff.
Shooting this out there.
Be an original thinker.
Original thinkers arrive to their own conclusions through passing a opinion through a series of questions.
Others are just copycats.
As I get older, the more I realize reading is not just learning and new vocabulary but to help us think in a certain way.
The true engineers with actual engineering knowledge are still not relying on AI for 100% of their work.
The rest are roleplaying as engineers with AI.
A reminder I keep coming back to: You don't need to do everything perfect 100% of the time in a year to make progress.
Sometimes, we obsess over the smallest of details.
Very interesting take on introspection
Great men of history had little to no introspection.
The personality that builds empires is not the same personality that sits around quietly questioning itself.
@pmarca and I discuss what we both noticed but no one talks about:
David: You don't have any levels of introspection?
Marc: Yes, zero. As little as possible.
David: Why?
Marc: Move forward. Go!
I found people who dwell in the past get stuck in the past. It's a real problem and it's a problem at work and it's a problem at home.
David: So I've read 400 biographies of history’s greatest entrepreneurs and someone asked me what the most surprising thing I’ve learned from this was [and I answered] they have little or zero introspection.
Sam Walton didn't wake up thinking about his internal self.
He just woke up and was like:
I like building Walmart. I'm going to keep building Walmart. I'm going to make more Walmarts. And he just kept doing it over and over again.
Marc: If you go back 400 years ago it never would've occurred to anybody to be introspective.
All of the modern conceptions around introspection and therapy, and all the things that kind of result from that are, a kind of a manufacture of the 1910s, 1920s.
Great men of history didn't sit around doing this stuff.
The individual runs and does all these things and builds things and builds empires and builds companies and builds technology.
And then this kind of this kind of guilt based whammy kind of showed up from Europe. A lot of it from Vienna in 1910, 1920s, Freud and all that entire movement. And kind of turned all that inward and basically said, okay, now we need to basically second guess the individual.
We need to criticize the individual.
The individual needs to self criticize.
The individual needs to feel guilt, needs to look backwards, needs to dwell in the past.
It never resonated with me.
Friendly reminder for you:
Mind doesn't improve the body. Body improves the mind.
Move what you can, not what you can't.
If you re-read the same content over and over again, it will give you lessons each time but if you take action after each lesson then only then will it get deeply engrained.
If you don't take action and keep learning lessons then you are simply going around in spirals.
