Generative AI didn't start in 2022. It started in 1943, with the first mathematical model of an artificial neuron. 79 years and two AI winters later came ChatGPT.

Bots outnumber humans in HTML web traffic, and LLM scrapers can pass as human.
At #TrailBlazor, Scott Galloway shows how to catch them by behavior, not IP or UA, with StyloBot, his open-source detection engine for .NET.

"The LLM is not the agent – the harness is."
Rocky Lhotka (creator of CSLA .NET) on building RockBot, his open-source .NET agent framework: memory tiers, MCP, A2A, sandboxing, and a "dreaming" phase that rewrites its own skills.

What if GitHub Copilot didn't work alone?
At #TrailBlazor 2026, Brady Gaster introduced Squad – AI agent teams for Copilot. Specialists beat clones (~20% better), and a legacy .NET app reached .NET 10 in ~2 days of nearly autonomous work.

The thing worth internalising about transformers: they're not superintelligent. They predict the next word by probability over their training data. That's it.
@sbwalker traced the whole road to that idea — 1943 to 2026, in one sitting.

Most teams treat crop yield prediction as a modeling problem.
It's a data architecture problem – and that's where agtech ML initiatives stall.
Free whitepaper: the 4-layer architecture, 6 data sources, and a 22-week plan for .NET + Azure platforms.

"The model itself can't take action."
That's where Luis Quintanilla (@dotnet PM) starts his #TrailBlazor session on Microsoft.Extensions.AI – then builds all 6 blocks a .NET AI app needs: models, data, tools/MCP, middleware, evals, agents

A soil moisture probe reports every few minutes. Connection or not.
Most irrigation platforms are architected for the pilot, then break at scale.

AI generates #Blazor UI in seconds – but consistent and production-ready?
At #TrailBlazor 2026, Shriram Sankaran (@Syncfusion) built the same dashboard twice: a plain prompt vs. an agentic workflow with design systems + component skills.

#Aspire is no longer .NET-only
At #TrailBlazor, Adam Ratzman (Microsoft) showed what's new:
→ Aspire CLI now GA
→ Model distributed apps in C#, not YAML
→ Polyglot app hosts (C# + TypeScript)
→ Why the dashboard runs on #Blazor

.@sbwalker asked an LLM how to build a scalable #Blazor app.
Eleven of its twelve recommendations held up. The first one – just use WebAssembly – didn't.

A 40-customer agtech platform provisioning tenants by hand is spending about $2,040 in engineering time per new customer, roughly 3 engineer days at a fully loaded rate. Add 10 customers in a quarter, and that's over $20K spent on infrastructure instead of features.
🧵
Redesigning the tenant layer once means every new customer, and every new AI feature, ships without another architecture project behind it.
We put together the full breakdown for CTOs and tech leads dealing with this right now: tenancy models, a migration path that doesn't require a rewrite, and the build vs. partner tradeoffs.
