New from @TheQuestHouse Whole Semester Quests. Six kids. Seven schools. Three decades of parent-teacher conferences... The goals that mattered never fit in a week. So here's a semester quest you can copy tonight... One Quest. Whole Semester. Algebra II Mastery Quest What's the one goal your kid's working on this semester? questhouse.ai/freereport

Prayers for Leo XIV
Pope Leo XIV tells the faithful gathered for the Angelus on Sunday that his doctors have found “a localized nodule” in his lung and will operate in a few days. He added that the nodule was “detected at a very early stage and is well localized.”

I've been playing with Grok @bot since the first week. I started out following the common advice on creating a COO and sub bots but recently I started building bots for my daily/weekly routines. For example, I created a bot to automate my weekly "process" for screening stocks for the options "wheel" strategy. The bot put me into a routine I couldn't keep myself and it has paid off. If you want to try it out Here: x.ai/bot/pLPIM1AvvIOdjAT9UEj… **not financial advice...you own your own trades **

The AI Billing Ladder Is Missing Its Top Rung I came across this article this morning and it felt like a hallucinogenic deja vu moment. @hackernoon hackernoon.com/the-billing-l… There is a useful way to think about AI pricing as a ladder: charge for the underlying compute, the tokens, the agent’s actions, the completed task, or the business outcome. Each rung moves the invoice closer to the value the customer receives. But I think that ladder is missing its top rung: unlimited access to a valuable application. I saw a version of this problem when we built Aria Systems @AriaSystemsInc . Cloud providers could meter infrastructure beautifully. They knew how much compute, storage, and bandwidth a customer consumed. What they generally could not see was the application-layer transaction those resources made possible. A cloud server might support a sale, a booking, a payment, or a customer relationship. Marking up the server bill was not the same as monetizing the application. That is what I meant by full stack monetization. As you move up the stack, you get closer to what the customer values—but the events become harder to define, attribute, and bill without argument. AI is repeating the pattern at remarkable speed. Tokens are easy to count and tell you little about customer value. “Resolutions” sound closer to value, but what counts as a resolution? Did the customer leave because the problem was solved, or because they gave up? What happens when the problem returns next week? Any serious enterprise buyer will want to inspect those definitions. Meanwhile, the price of delivering a given level of AI capability is falling rapidly. The cost of metering will soon exceed the cost of billing. We have seen this movie in communications and internet access. Providers began by charging for scarce increments of use. As capacity grew and the unit cost fell, customers increasingly bought access to a plan instead of worrying about every minute or megabyte. “Unlimited” became the commercial promise, even where plans retained speed, capacity, or fair-use boundaries. I expect the same direction in AI: increasingly generous, eventually unlimited-feeling subscriptions to applications and capabilities. The premium will attach to which capabilities you can access, their reliability, and how well they fit your work—not to a running tally of tokens or disputed claims of success. This is not a claim that every resource becomes free to provide. Compute-intensive work will have costs and capacity constraints. The claim is about the customer-facing unit of sale: as digital delivery becomes cheaper and more abundant, charging for each use becomes less compelling than charging for dependable access to the thing people value.

A little "inside baseball" on what we're building at questhouse.ai Come help us shape the future: questhouse.ai/founding-famil…
1/10 We're building QuestHouse around a simple question: What capability should a child exercise next? At what difficulty? In what context? And when? Curriculum gives us a sequence of content. I want a living picture of what a child can actually do—and what helps them grow.

I just had a funny experience trying to connect my @grok @bot to my @tesla and I wish I could have recorded it. * First...I had them both on voice mode via speaker and I asked one question and they both started chit chatting and talking over each other. * I pulled a dad move and say..."Everyone...be quiet for a minute and NO TALKING until I ask you a question"! * Tesla-Grok: "Yes...i'll be here just quiet and listening" * Iphone-Grok Bot: "Yes...sometimes in the silence you learn more" * Tesla-Grok: "Yes, in the space between our words, much is said" * iPhone Grok Bot: " Yes..i agree much can be learned if you just listen" * Tesla - Grok: "Yes...in the silence" * iPHone Grok: "Just keeping quiet during the silence is key..." This went on for a good 5 min. They can't shut up even if you ask them to be quiet!

Ben Horowitz says instead of banning AI, educators should set problems students can't solve without it: "I was talking to Dan Boneh, who is a great professor of computer science and cryptography at Stanford. His take on AI was: You have two choices. You can ban it, and by the way, that won't work. Or you can make the problems so hard that you can't solve them without AI." "What he's seeing is, 'I've got students solving things that no student in history could have ever solved.' That's what's possible. You want to have that orientation: What can you solve with the tools? What can you do that's a breakthrough? Now everybody has an opportunity to create a breakthrough." "Then you're a main character, not an NPC. That's what the academy is about. Do you want to be a main character? If you want to be a main character, we help you do that. If you want to be a cog in a machine, this is not going to be the best place for you." @bhorowitz
Gagan Biyani with Erik Torenberg and Ben Horowitz on HAA: The Horowitz Andreessen Academy HAA is a private, full-time, in-person school in San Francisco for young people coming out of high school. Its mission is to nurture the best young people in the world, and equip them with the tools to shape it. The Industrial Revolution rewrote how we train young people. It's time for a new model for the AI era. HAA is project-based – less lecture time, more time with tools and AI, structured social life, co-ops/internships, with students embedded alongside working adults. Founding Partners include Anduril, Anthropic, Coinbase, Google, Meta, NVIDIA, OpenAI, Palantir, Replit, and Stripe. It's the best time in history to be 18. The vision is grads with careers they love or their own companies founded, and hopefully other schools copying the model down the road. 0:55 Why a16z is backing a school 4:40 Why other college alternatives failed 6:55 AI is this era's Industrial Revolution 9:35 The model: live in SF, intern at top startups 12:10 Ben: the best time in history to be 18 15:25 No big idea at 18?

I’m a dad of six, and I’m building something I wish I’d had when my older kids were growing up. How do we help our kids take more ownership of learning and everyday responsibilities—without parents having to manage every step? That’s the problem behind QuestHouse. It turns learning, chores, and life skills into “quests,” helping families connect everyday activities to the capabilities their children are developing: solving problems, following through, working independently. We’re inviting our first 100 Founding Families to use the beta and help shape what we build next. If you’re homeschooling, worldschooling, or supporting your kids outside school, I’d love your input. Start with one child and one quest. See how it works in your household. Tell me what helps, what’s confusing, and what’s missing. It’s early. Your feedback will help determine where we take it. Join us here: questhouse.ai/founding-famil… —Ed

Ask not what AI will do to you, but ask what you will do with AI!!
Lots of people are asking what AI will do TO us, instead of asking what they'll do WITH it.
