FRANKENSTEIN AI AND THE COLLAPSE OF THE GTM PLAYBOOK

B2B go-to-market teams are overloaded with tools but lack clear strategy, leading to stalled pipeline growth and ineffective systems. Many teams rely on fragile tech stacks patched together without orchestration, mistaking automation for progress. Most teams fail to define meaningful buyer signals and instead chase engagement metrics or generic intent data. AI tools alone won't drive pipeline without a cohesive, signal-first system. Marketing leaders must shift from campaign execution to GTM system design that spans product, sales, and client success.

JAVASCRIPT SCOPE HOISTING IS BROKEN

JavaScript scope hoisting is an optimization used by bundlers to concatenate modules into a single scope instead of wrapping each in a function, but it breaks when combined with code splitting because it can't preserve the correct execution order of modules with side effects. This leads to different program behavior, with shared modules executing in the wrong order compared to unbundled code, affecting bundlers like Rollup, ESBuild, and others. The solution requires wrapping modules in functions to control execution order.

WHAT'S //GO:NOSPLIT FOR?

Go's `//go:nosplit` directive removes the usual stack overflow check from functions to improve performance. Nosplit functions skip the preemption check that normally compares the stack pointer against a limit and calls `runtime.morestack` when needed, making them about 2% faster in hot loops but potentially much faster when the goroutine struct isn't cached. However, nosplit functions are dangerous because they can cause stack overflows, so the Go linker includes safety checks to make sure chains of nosplit functions don't exceed a small stack limit (792 bytes).

REFLECTIONS ON OPENAI

A co-founder of Segment, which was acquired for $3.2B by Twilio, worked for OpenAI for a year. He liked the company's bias for action, its fast decision-making pace, its focus on practical AI safety, and its commitment to broadly distributing the benefits of AI. He played a key role in launching Codex, the coding agent, within an incredibly short timeframe.

WHAT CAN AGENTS ACTUALLY DO?

AI agents use LLMs to evaluate contexts, suggest and utilize tools to enrich those contexts, and manage flow control for tool usage. Customer support and bug triaging are good use case examples, and AI agents should be treated as software products requiring careful design, iteration, and human oversight.

ASYMMETRY OF VERIFICATION AND VERIFIER'S LAW

"Asymmetry of verification" is where some tasks are much easier to verify than to solve, which is an important concept in improving AI. Examples include Sudoku, website operation, and BrowseComp problems, where easy verification enables AI training. The "Verifier's Law" states that AI's ability to solve a task is proportional to its verifiability.

META'S NEW SUPERINTELLIGENCE LAB IS DISCUSSING MAJOR A.I. STRATEGY CHANGES

A small group of members in Meta's newly formed superintelligence lab last week discussed the possibility of abandoning the company's most powerful open source AI model, Behemoth, in favor of developing a closed model. Meta has chosen to open source its AI models for years, with executives arguing that it is better for the technology to be public to accelerate AI development and make the technology more accessible to developers. A move to a closed AI model would be a philosophical change as much as a technical one. Meta has been delaying the release of its Behemoth model due to its poor internal performance.

DARPA SETS NEW RECORD FOR WIRELESS POWER BEAMING

The United States' Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) recently transferred over 800 watts of power over about 30 seconds with a laser beam across 8.6 kilometers. The estimated power efficiency was around 20%. The team used commercial ready-to-use solar cells placed within a receiver to turn the laser beam into electricity. Laser technologies are more suitable than infrared for building an airborne power relay network due to their high precision, long-range reach, and lighter and smaller equipment required to work.

AWS PREVIEWS KIRO IDE FOR DEVELOPERS WHO ARE OVER VIBE CODING

AWS has introduced a new agentic IDE called Kiro that apparently avoids the pitfalls of vibe coding. It is built around a conversational interface that offers developers the chance to explain what they are trying to build. Kiro then uses generative AI to produce its response, which initially takes the form of a spec, not actual code. Kiro can handle multiple specs created by different teams that all work on different aspects of a project. It can use plugins written for VS Code and Open VSX.

TIKTOK OWNER BYTEDANCE IS REPORTEDLY BUILDING ITS OWN MIXED REALITY GOGGLES

ByteDance is reportedly working on mixed reality goggles designed to layer digital objects over users' view of the real world to compete directly with Meta's upcoming mixed reality products. They will be built by ByteDance's Pico, the creators of the Pico 4 VR headset. Pico will keep the device lightweight by offloading most of the computing work to a puck connected to the goggles over a wire. Current Pico headsets aren't sold in the US, and ByteDance may face pushback over a US release due to its ownership of TikTok.

LLMs don't have background processes that allow the model to form connections between seemingly unrelated topics similar to how humans make new realizations while "daydreaming." This is the reason AIs have yet to make any new discoveries. This post proposes a remedy: a system that would prompt LLMs to randomly retrieve facts, generate novel connections between them, then use a critic model to filter for genuinely valuable insights.
