Consumers adopt a new S-curve when they are both overserved by what exists already and also underserved by the existing solution - and like the new thing because it's cheaper and better. Right now, code is capital, but going forward, the true capital asset will be big models and chips - things that you can finance and rent. We are now solidly in the agent S-curve - this will change how we think about software businesses and their profit potential.
Snow Leopard was an update released two years after macOS Leopard that added very little and took a lot away. It was one of the most solid software releases Apple has ever put out. Snow Leopard improved the underlying system while shrinking it in size. Apple's latest releases are screaming for such a reset - they feel like software developed by people who don't actually use that software. Snow Leopard's clean-up paved the way for years of solid, reliable upgrades - spring cleaning would make the Mac, iPhone, and iPad really shine.
Apple may focus on fun with its new software.

The House of Representatives has released its version of stablecoin oversight legislation, known as the STABLE Act, to regulate the issuance of dollar-denominated digital tokens. It requires coins to be backed by high-quality liquid assets, allows them to be issued by depository institutions or state-regulated entities, and imposes a moratorium on algorithmic stablecoins for two years. The bill is part of a larger legislative effort to bring more clarity to the crypto industry and overturn IRS regulations impacting DeFi brokers. Lawmakers at the DC Blockchain Summit have expressed optimism about finalizing these frameworks by August.
Ripple has partnered with African fintech Chipper Cash to enable faster, lower-cost, crypto-enabled cross-border payments into Africa using Ripple Payments infrastructure. This collaboration expands Ripple's presence on the continent and uses blockchain to improve financial inclusion and efficiency for Chipper Cash's 5 million users (across 9 countries).
Sony (Soneium) is working with Animoca Brands to integrate anime culture into Web3 by introducing Anime ID, a decentralized identifier and reputation layer for anime and manga enthusiasts. This collaboration aims to increase user engagement by allowing fans to use their Anime IDs across various Dapps on the Soneium blockchain.
Decentralized onchain AI models will introduce commoditized cognition, which will fundamentally reshape how AI is built, deployed, and monetized. Traditional pre-training has hit a plateau, which is driving a shift toward specialized fine-tuning, advanced inference-time compute, and memory innovations. Onchain AI models can unlock novel mechanisms like revenue-sharing and collateralized lending to attract institutional investment and community participation.
The STABLE Act of 2025 introduces strict regulations for stablecoins, requiring issuers to be banks, credit unions, or approved nonbanks with 1:1 reserves in cash, T-bills, or other safe assets. It also bans algorithmic stablecoins for two years, allows states to set their own (but stricter) rules, and includes a two-year registration grace period.
