From HOMES to SHAME—a lesson in signal vs. noise.

Jason Corso @jasoncorso.bsky.social · 08/07/2026
We’ve been encultured to think that deep networks are bottomless pits of appetite—if a model fails, just feed it more data. But the physics of production AI have changed. Throwing scale at a corner-case problem doesn't fix it. Read full blog: medium.com/@jasoncorso/...

Startup founders are told to keep board meetings fast and metric-driven. My take? It's a massive mistake. If you don't spend 60–120 minutes going deep on a single challenge, your advisors will just pattern-match based on unrelated companies. Detail matters. Read more: medium.com/@jasoncorso/...

Disagree and Commit is the hardest shift for technical founders who are used to being right. If you're still second-guessing a team decision 2 weeks later, you're the friction. My take: Conviction > Certainty. Read the full essay on navigating constructive confrontation: medium.com/@jasoncorso/...

When we started @voxel51.bsky.social, I read nearly every startup book I could find. @johndoerr.bsky.social's "Measure What Matters" was a big one. My real take: For a small team, A North Star > 50 KRs. Read full essay: medium.com/@jasoncorso/...

Three months into the Technical Academic Founder (TAF) series. This week #15 is a Redux of the first 6 essays: a roadmap for starting, fundraising, and operating a startup with a specific emphasis on technical founders and academic founders. Full piece here: medium.com/@jasoncorso/...
The TAF series provides experience-based discussion covering the essential pillars of starting, fundraising, and operating a startup specifically targeted to technical founders and academic founders. This week’s essay (#15) is a redux of the first six installments from earlier in 2026. This visual, generated by Gemini, is a mashup of the visual mastheads for each of the first six essays!

I just finished Alien Clay by Adrian Tchaikovsky. What a book! I can't stop thinking about one thing: what happens when you strip away every assumption about how a system should work? Highly recommend the book; and reflecting on its meaning about the systems in which you play, live, work, etc...

My take: White-collar jobs aren't being replaced by GenAI; they are being redefined by high-stakes curation. Achieving a maintainable, professional result requires bridging the "Pareto Gap" with domain expertise. Your moat is knowing when to push back. Read the essay: medium.com/@jasoncorso/...

On a long drive last night, I was geeking out with Claude on how to evolve my orgmode configuration. Really dig the voice-to-voice dialogue. Two-plus hours into it, Claude seemed to get bored and basically told me "we're done." Is Anthropic business-logic or is a reward to get to the point...

Interesting take on this “quiet” policy change about grant duration especially amidst the noise over the last year wrt grant funding. However I suspect this choice is a short term well intentioned tactic to deploy current FY funds. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

have there been instances of CV/ML conferences where the pre-rebuttal review did NOT have the recommendations published to the authors? I feel like the rebuttal process may be more fruiftul if there was more focus around the content only than the content biased by scores.

It's the last week of @iccv.bsky.social reviewing, a bit before @neuripsconf.bsky.social reviews, among others. Check your mindset as you review. Are you biased to (1) finding reasons to reject the paper? (2) finding reasons to accept the paper? (3) finding reasons to understand the paper?

Super impressed by NVIDIA's strategery to drive impact on multiple layers of the AI compute world. IMO Focused, smaller, specialized models are going to see more practical value and ROI before the large ones that currently dominate the conversation.
