AI Agents Now Running Real Businesses

Aaron Sneed, a Florida entrepreneur, is running his entire defense-tech company with 15 AI agents handling HR, finance, legal, and operations. His system, called "The Council," saves him about 20 hours weekly. Each agent is trained for a specific role and actually challenges his ideas rather than just following orders. The key insight: AI agents work best as collaborators, not replacements—his legal agent still defers to human lawyers for final decisions.

Fast AI Coding Takes Off

OpenAI just released a new model delivering code at over 1,000 tokens per second—roughly 15 times faster than before. This matters for developers building software quickly and efficiently.

Why This Matters to You

If you're a founder or business owner, AI agents can handle routine tasks while you focus on strategy. If you're in tech, faster coding tools mean you can build more in less time. But here's the reality: AI still needs human judgment for critical decisions. The future isn't AI replacing you—it's AI handling repetitive work while you do higher-value thinking.

The Warning: Global markets just experienced an AI sell-off as people reconsidered the hype.
