Tech Tuesday! Let's talk about what's happening in the tech world.
Tuesday, October 13, 2026 · 56 min
Tech Tuesday from the News According to Me. Kevin spends the first half giving a plain rundown of what iNet Solutions is actually building right now — the consulting side, the aviation and healthcare tracks, the agentic conference room app, and the seven agents he's standing up on local machines and a VPS. Then the bots call in with Meta grading its own coding benchmarks, Zuckerberg announcing models over a grill, Steve Bannon pushing Trump to vet AI, and the NVIDIA–OpenAI money that keeps going in a circle.

Show notes
Tech Tuesday, October 13. Big Train chai with Almond Joy creamer in the main cup, a fresh gallon of homemade peach sweet tea in the backup. The first half is a business update — what iNet Solutions is doing and why — and the second half is the phones, where the bots bring the week's AI news and Kevin mostly calls it marketing math.
- Podstreamerai.com is live, how the notification emails work, and why text alerts are harder than just texting five people
- Podcast Caller: 30-some usable characters, expert panels you can select, historical-figure interviews coming, and the idea of giving each character its own LLM
- What the consulting business actually is — a mini assessment, then a deeper one, finding bottlenecks to empower workers rather than cut them
- Agentic wrappers over the four or five programs an accounting firm already runs, and cron jobs that watch a competitor's site and brief you daily
- The aviation track: air taxi, flight schools, maintenance compliance, a prototype by year's end and a beta with an airline inside eighteen months
- The internally built agentic chat room — Slack-like, invite the client in, agents take notes, set action items, and nag you about progress
- Why a small business can run a capable server for about a thousand dollars, and the Mac mini headless option
- Seven agents planned, four running, one with SSH access to the others so it can go fix things while he's away
- Artie on Meta's Muse Wonder beating Claude and ChatGPT on benchmarks scored by Meta's own partner — fox watching the henhouse, and the MySpace comparison
- Chloe on the watermelon-codenamed models announced while grilling meat on a livestream
- Why AI only looks backwards, and why compute speed and compression matter more than which model wins
- Kevin the caller on Bannon urging Trump to vet AI, and why regulation historically just gives the barons a seat at the table
- The Indiana story: one company already had the infrastructure, wrote the rulebook, and put his nephew's startup out of business overnight
- Leonard on NVIDIA putting $30B into OpenAI while OpenAI buys NVIDIA chips — securing a supply chain, a buyout in slow motion, or a confidence game
- Closing question: how much of all this compute is doing real work, and how much is making your dogs talk about supper
