One has to be aware that human speech and writing is being influenced by LLMs, and thus they are becoming more similar. This was already evident in 2024, as shown by a study that detected a…

Generated by AI—notice the perspective. Over the past year, we have seen the rapid development of AI-assisted programming to an astounding degree. Even five years ago, fully-automated program…

Most developers have become pretty good at using AI, some reluctantly. We paste in an error and ask for an explanation. We ask for unit tests, a regex we will immediately regret, or a slightly less…

A focused review for teams shipping LLM, RAG, and agent systems: trace coverage, evaluation gaps, token cost visibility, failure modes, and OpenTelemetry instrumentation plan.

This text is artisanally typed using Das Keyboard, with occasional suggestions by Copilot (most of them ignored anyways). The figures are generated with ChatGPT 5.5. In November 2024, I wrote a blog…

Part 3 — the build for the lighter solution. How a set of git hooks stamps a session id on every commit an AI Agent makes, survives squash and rebase, and captures each push — all best-effort, all…

This is a working summary of things I’ve been working on to build a workflow for agentic development over the last 6 months. Agentic development will scale up all software development. I see two…

I was hired to lead the AI rollout for 900+ engineers at a $2bn+ sports betting company. Sports betting is an older industry, and older industries tend to have a larger gap to close when technology…

DeepSeek V5 has no announced release date. Here's what the July 24 deprecation actually means, plus V4 Pro pricing, vision API status, and Claude vs GPT-5.

Use TurboQuant-compatible GGUF models on Windows with LM Studio, Ollama for Windows, and llama.cpp. Covers hardware requirements, which models support TQ4_K_M, and the best current approximation…

Everyone says 'evals' and means ten different things. Here's a quick tour of the main types — what each one checks, and when it's worth the cost.

Or human-ish

It is common knowledge amongst AI-enhanced superhuman programmers that the best way to prevent your AI coding agents from hallucinating is to tell them not to hallucinate. The 10x programmers also…

There’s a version of building an AI app that goes like this. You build the thing, you get it mostly working, and then someone says “should we evaluate it?” and you bolt some evals…

After one year working around AI security and governance, I trust flashy AI demos less and pay more attention to data, permissions, discovery, and the boring systems around AI.

The earth is heating up and AI isn't helping. It drives major increases in electricity use, water use and CO2 emissions. Yet, industry and governments alike seem keen to leverage the latest tech. Can…

A guide to frontier AI model benchmarks in 2026, covering MMLU, GPQA Diamond, HLE, SWE-bench, ARC-AGI-2, MMMU, Arena Elo, etc. What each benchmark measures, which models lead, why scores saturate.

Can we measure extreme financial risk? Is financial stability only a question of technology and data? Many seem to think so. I disagree.

Two small tools that compound: Caveman shrinks what the agent says back, RTK shrinks what your terminal pipes in. Same context window, twice the room.

AI agents review my pull requests now, not me. But there is one thing I will never be able to hand them: everything my company knows that was never written down.

Picture a town with 1,000 companies and 100,000 workers. Each company employs 100 people, pays them a wage, and sells to them. The money leaves through the front door as salary and comes back through…

Many people claim that AI inference is unprofitable to serve, and thus must be subsidized by an ocean of dumb money from investors who believe that some future AI model will come to dominate the…

Cascade Chat now runs on an Agentic Development Lifecycle. Agents write the code, Playwright verifies it, and the only human decisions left are ideation, architecture, and the release gate.

മലയാളത്തിൽ AI കോർപ്പസ് നിർമിക്കാനായി പത്തുകോടി രൂപ ഈയിടെ അവതരിപ്പിച്ച കേരളബഡ്ജറ്റിൽ നീക്കിയിരിത്തിയിട്ടുണ്ട്. ആർട്ടിഫിഷ്യൽ ഇന്റലിജൻസ് സമീപകാലത്ത് നേടിയിട്ടുള്ള വലിയ പുരോഗതിയുടെ പശ്ചാത്തലത്തിൽ…

AI tools make it easier than ever to generate content. With that ease, nearly anyone can become a contributor to the documentation. When people are using AI tools to create documentation, how do you…

Had a really good conversation with a colleague the other day as to why I don’t use AI a whole lot outside of when work mandates usage of AI. If I come across a long blog post, I rarely read…

“Here’s how we did it” is one of my favorite phrases to hear in a healthy startup ecosystem. Collaborative learning benefits everyone and the startup which initiates the discussion…

Dan’s spot on, as always, here. I remember one time, the bunch of us had fun making ChatGPT (early version) write NSF non-technical summaries as Sonnets and Haiku. Those were the days. Now,…

Communication is an important skill, stop delegating it to a machine

Bitcoin has finally plunged to $58,000. This will go down as one of my greatest forecasts ever, if not the greatest. I was the only person, back in 2025 when it was at >$100,000, who predicted there…

As an AI trainer, there is a fun game to test AI image models and see how far we still are from having an “intuitive human” model. This is not a test of image generation, but of cultural human…

Looking over a shareholder presentation explaining an AI valuation using the parable of the golden goose (via Mefi), I kept […]

Tutto il pianeta sta adottando AI generative a caso, cagando sull’ambiente con intensità esponenziale, in cerca di allucinazioni sempre migliori. Grazie a questo, le allucinazioni organiche di…

How to build a fediverse community when bots are indistinguishable from humans on applications to join?

AI as a new source of operating leverage where the durable advantage comes from process power, not prompts. Editorial note: I’m taking on a few additional companies looking to find the…

Do societal promises influence patent value? An analysis of inventions in artificial intelligence

AI agents can lower the cost of trying something. That doesn't automatically make it worth doing.

Two AI assistants went dark in forty-eight hours last week. In neither case did the model break. The thing that broke was the wire in front of it, and we built that fragility back on purpose.

Someone is using your face to sell weight loss pills. Someone else pasted your likeness into a political ad you’d never endorse. A third person built an entire social media channel around…

As I’m discussing paper writing with more folks in the age of Claude Code and other coding assistants, we’re having more discussions about how to use these tools in writing. Per my earlier post, I…

Pew's 2026 data shows the youngest U.S. adults use AI chatbots the most, yet they are also the most likely to expect AI to harm society.

Asterisk Magazine, which aspires to be The New Yorker of effective altruism, has a piece profiling “AI doomers” which, even after reviewing the author’s other sincere engagements…
