A personal story about discovering a mural in a McDonald's, an unknown artist named Wes Cook, saving the mural, and a conference talk about the whole thing.
over a year ago, i gave a talk at the xoxo conference about a mural, a mcdonald’s, and a man. (but it was also secretly about life, and legacy, and meaning.)
finally, i’m blogging the full story, with behind-the-scenes details, and a video of the talk.
i hope you enjoy this read. https://cabel.com/wes-cook-and-the-mcdonalds-mural/

A personal note for non-tech friends and family on what AI is starting to change.
This post argues AI is having a moment similar to when you heard about some illness in China back in February 2020. Key quotes
- The experience that tech workers have had over the past year, of watching AI go from "helpful tool" to "does my job better than I do", is the experience everyone else is about to have.
- Get your financial house in order.
- Think about where you stand, and lean into what's hardest to replace.
I’m reading a lot in AI tech spaces at the moment, and I think this article is an important one, not because I think it’s the gospel truth and everyone should take this guy’s advice and reorient their perspective according to his, but because it’s an important perspective.
Something Big Is Happening

A reason for people to live closer to family. Seriously.
GPT-5.3-Codex and Claude Opus 4.6 can handle the full app development lifecycle on their own, a sign of what's coming for most knowledge work within five years (Matt Shumer)

This is the most depressing thing I've read in a long time.
https://shumer.dev/something-big-is-happening
Of particular note:
"The people building this technology are simultaneously more excited and more frightened than anyone else on the planet. They believe it's too powerful to stop and too important to abandon."
Which means every one of those people is a moron. We're Prisoners Dilemma-ing ourselves into oblivion.
And no mention of the environmental impact, either. Naturally.
Fuck this timeline.
A must read for everyone. And, I do mean everyone.

"I'll tell the AI: "I want to build this app. Here's what it should do, here's roughly what it should look like. Figure out the user flow, the design, all of it." And it does. It writes tens of thousands of lines of code. Then, and this is the part that would have been unthinkable a year ago, it opens the app itself. It clicks through the buttons. It tests the features. If it doesn't like how something looks or feels, it goes back and changes it, on its own.”
The Netherlands has the lowest working hours in Europe, but some say it is harming its economy.
The Dutch have been quietly getting on with normalising the four day working week, and it seems to not have had the negative impact many critics have claimed, with the Netherlands' economy still one of the most successful in the EU;
as so often, real political economic change can be organic rather than forced, and in the UK while at an early stage of this process, the four day working week is slowly but surely e becoming more widely adopted. Good!

Capitalism cares about our species’ prospects as much as a wolf cares about a lamb’s. But democratise our economy and a better world is within our grasp, say Jason Hickel and Yanis Varoufakis
"Since Donald Trump’s election, many major investment firms enthusiastically abandoned their climate commitments, which had, in favour of the common good, restrained their profitability. This should be a clarifying moment for all of us: capitalism cares about our species’ prospects as much as a wolf cares about a lamb’s."

How can we reform capitalism?
Well Jason Hickel & Yanis Varoufakis suggest three key steps:
1. re-engineer finance; penalising investment for destructive private investment & prioritise public investment for public goods;
2. democratise public & private budgeting decisions;
3. democratise corporations; wrest control from the elites & put it in the hands of workers.
Its as simple as that.... well, OK not simple, but you can see what they're getting at!
