What I Refuse to Say About AI in 2026

With Attitude — Sun, 14 Jun 2026 12:49:01 +0000

What it feels like to build AI systems while raising the humans who will inherit them.

I spend a lot of time inside AI systems.

Not casually.

For the last several years, I’ve worked at the edge of AI product development, ethical AI, and AI-assisted building.

I manage AI products alongside brilliant researchers, engineers, and compliance leads, so I see the full product chain up close: research decisions, engineering tradeoffs, ethical tradeoffs, compliance risks, and security risks. The product choices that tell you what a company thinks people are for.

Anthropic Just Split the Frontier in Two

With Attitude — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 07:53:43 +0000

Fable 5 is the model we get. Mythos 5 is the model we don’t. The gap between them is the product strategy.

When a company announces two products from one model, the model is no longer the only thing being productized.

Today, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5.

Same underlying model. Different doors. Different rules.

This must be an interesting time to be a PM at Anthropic.

The model creates the capability, but the product is shaped in the access layer: segments, permissions, routing, eligibility, pricing, governance, and trust.

Claude Skills: Editorial Minimalist UI System

With Attitude — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 23:21:47 +0000

Editorial Minimalist UI is a design system for AI-generated product interfaces that should feel calm, premium, useful, and built by someone with taste.

I built this skill after seeing one too many AI-generated pages with purple gradients, soft shadows, fake testimonials, and vague buttons.

The Editorial Minimalist UI skill fixes that by forcing the AI to start with the bones of the interface: structure first, typography second, then spacing, hierarchy, content, and surfaces before any decorative nonsense.

12 AI Projects Built by the PwA Community

With Attitude — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 06:20:53 +0000

I Keep Saying You Can Build with AI. Here’s Proof.

You spend hours engineering context for one AI: training its memory, writing system prompts, building project files. Then you switch models and start all over.

Cuey is a free Chrome extension that unlocks that context for cross-model comparisons. When you compare ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini in Cuey, each model answers with the full picture of your work.
Built for builders who can’t afford to start from scratch.

Claude Opus 4.8: What Changed, and How I'll Test It

With Attitude — Thu, 28 May 2026 21:21:51 +0000

Opus 4.8 is not the main event. It is the model that teaches you how to work before Mythos arrives.

Just when I thought I’d get a calm evening with*For All Mankind*, Opus 4.8 happened.

I went from dynamic space missions to dynamic workflows. I adapted immediately, because apparently my plans are dynamic too.

Here’s what changed, and why I think Opus 4.8 is less of a final destination and more of a bridge to what comes next.

I Built a Runaway Subscribe Button. It Brought 70 New Subscribers in 6 Days. Code + Challenge Inside.

With Attitude — Tue, 26 May 2026 14:43:25 +0000

Most subscribe buttons are invisible because readers have seen too many of them. So I made mine misbehave.

I built a subscribe button that runs away from your cursor.

I know. Who does that. I do that. Because it’s so counterintuitive, it sparked joy in a rebel like me. And I want more rebels to sign up for Product with Attitude.

Now the button runs from you.
You hover, it dodges. You chase, it dodges again. After the fourth dodge, it gives up. You can finally subscribe.

Gemini Omni Flash: Cute Videos, Serious Product Strategy, and the Future of Editable Reality

With Attitude — Thu, 21 May 2026 23:46:21 +0000

Google’s new AI video model looks playful on the surface, but underneath it points to world simulation, remixable media, and the next phase of creator workflows, plus the experiments I ran to test it.

Last night I opened Gemini Omni Flash to “just check the release notes.”

Two hours later, I had a puppy playing the violin in a kitchen, a glass shattering while the water behaved suspiciously, and a Substack logo dissolving into particles.

So yes, I took notes.

But this article is not just about cute AI videos. It’s about where Google is moving creation models next: from generating media to editing little simulations of reality.

Prompt Refiner Template

With Attitude — Thu, 21 May 2026 23:18:43 +0000

Turn vague, messy, or inconsistent prompts into structured, production-ready prompts.

An AI prompt refiner is a reusable prompt template that rewrites weak prompts into clearer, more reliable instructions for large language models. This version helps builders improve prompt accuracy, reduce hallucinations, enforce structured outputs, and test whether a prompt works consistently across multiple LLMs.

Perplexity Computer in May 2026: 5 Workflows I Run Every Week

With Attitude — Tue, 19 May 2026 21:32:27 +0000

Five Perplexity Computer workflows I run every week. Credit cost, model, time saved, PM read, and the critical AI literacy check on each one.

This is the sixth post on Perplexity Computer for Product with Attitude.

The first one,Perplexity Computer: What I Built in One Night,covered the launch and the architecture.

Thesecondandthirdposts covered my tips for saving credits. If you plan to use Computer, you need to read them.

The fourth wasa guest post I wrote for AI Supremacy.

The fifth is whereI first started naming the shift I see in the industry. First, there was prompt engineering. Then, context engineering. Since April 2026, we’ve been handed something operationally convenient and intellectually inconvenient: complex tasks, neatly wrapped in pre-built workflows that can be activated without users writing prompts or building advanced context pipelines.
