The Week AI Got Real
Techstrong.ai, Thursday, April 9th, 2026
Certain moments in history become reference points. People of an age remember where they were when John F. Kennedy was shot. Many remember watching Neil Armstrong step onto the moon. Others recall the night the Berlin Wall fell or the horrible morning the towers fell on September 11
These moments become markers in time. Years later someone asks, 'Where were you when that happened?'
I believe this past week may become one of those moments.
Two developments this week stood out to me. On the surface they appear unrelated. One came from the world of cybersecurity. The other from the economics of artificial intelligence itself.
Taken together, they tell a much bigger story.
