Imagine: every morning, someone excitedly tells you what happened in AI in the last 24 hours, just like an old friend during your morning coffee. We’re excited to announce AI Morning by thehype radio, a daily podcast briefing you didn't know you needed - and it’s just under 10 minutes long.

Back at the AI Genesis Hackathon, together with @lablabai, we asked one simple question: what's the most illegal thing our participants did that day? Nobody admitted to anything - at least, not on camera. What do you think was the most suspicious answer in this reel?

The future of work may not be humans vs AI at all. According to @PhillipKingston (CTO, @AppliedAICo), some companies are already seeing better results from systems where AI handles scale, and humans step in where expertise and judgment matter most. Once organizations see the side-by-side performance, there is no going back.

Back in November 2025, @chantel_elloway (President & Founder, CEPR) asked our audience if AI would surpass human creativity. Few said yes. More said no. But when asked if we want AI to push creativity beyond human limits, the answers became mixed. Maybe the real question is not what AI can do, but what we actually want from it?

AI agents are everywhere right now, with millions of users and billions in projected value, but it’s still unclear how much is real progress and how much is hype. What do you think will actually last? Let us know your thoughts, and watch the full keynote by Pavel Sokolov, Founder @atomicbot_ai: youtu.be/NchmgV8Rua0

The most human things aren’t complicated. Coffee. Conversations. A bit of panic. Meeting people and figuring things out. Just a normal day at the AI Genesis hackathon by /function1 and @lablabai - in the middle of something bigger.

What would Mohamed tell himself 18 months ago? This is important to hear for everyone building early: "Stop waiting for the product to be perfect before you show it to the world. What gets built is always shaped by real contact with real users, real markets, real pushback. And you cannot do it alone. One hand does not clap."

At /function1, a person approached their booth without them pitching at all. Before showcasing the demo. First question was: "What's your traction?" That conversation reframed everything. A new idea appeared - the data they were collecting had value far beyond the subscription. That every operator that joined made the platform smarter for every other operator. A flywheel, not just a product.

Mohamed and the CTO, Sultan, have built Avano AI - an intelligence layer for fleet businesses in the Gulf, letting them think, respond, and operate autonomously. No 70% automation. They pushed for 95%. Real decisions. No human in the loop.
