We’ve seen plenty of articles and doom and gloom about AI agents leaving their homes and attacking systems all around. Finding novel ways to hack and leaving no traces. Let’s actually have a look at what it means and what we can do instead of just panicking. First things first. What should make us worried?Continue reading “You were not interesting enough to hack, but you’re on the spreadsheet”

AI agents will give you less information and you will pay for it
In both literal and figurative sense. And it will happen because companies needs to make money. There are things about dynamics on the internet that we have taken for granted. And we assume them to be true whilst they no longer are true. One of those is that we assume search engines give us theContinue reading “AI agents will give you less information and you will pay for it”
Happy paths, unhappy truths: AI and the cost of skipping failure
I will first clarify my position. IT has much lower standards than many other industries, such as healthcare, civil engineering, or accounting. There isn’t mandatory training, ongoing education, or certification. IT changes quite often, although frequently only in marketing materials. With a lot of new people coming into the field, we tend to get theContinue reading “Happy paths, unhappy truths: AI and the cost of skipping failure”
Duality and nuance of AI discourse
I want to use this as a step back from the endless AI PR, paid influencers, AI-written articles, and non-critical tech journalism — both pro-AI and doomerism. Both tend to be marketing for something-AI. For the sake of argument, let’s take the ecological part out of this for now. This AI media machine we findContinue reading “Duality and nuance of AI discourse”
Action to stop rumination
I find myself occasionally in the same rumination pits. There is a clear pattern and a trigger. Then 15 minutes later, in a good case, I will realise that I’m doing it again. By the time the thoughts have their own momentum, like a friction car, they are not as easy to stop immediately; it’sContinue reading “Action to stop rumination”
Tech AI efficiency the way companies don’t want it
I have a hypothesis. Hear me out. Where we will see the biggest benefits of AI will be small teams measured (and paid) based on delivered outcome. Knowledge work, is defined by it’s non-routine and creative nature. Not two tasks are the same and the way get to the outcome have to be figured out.Continue reading “Tech AI efficiency the way companies don’t want it”
Information chasm for AI autonomous agents
What we want from autonomous agents is to act on their own. To decide what is the best next course of action and do it. Pretty simple on a paper as we as humans do it all the time. If you are working in a company there is variety of complexity of decisions, right? ThereContinue reading “Information chasm for AI autonomous agents”
Part of learning is to change
I’m not sure if it’s somehow my upbringing, bubble or just a strange though, but I think we are missing the point of learning and that is how it changes us. It’s a change to our worldview, it’s a change to our habits, it’s a change to our self-confidence that we’ve managed to learn somethingContinue reading “Part of learning is to change”
AI written blogpost
Recently I wrote about my endless list of draft posts. One of the reasons is that it takes me quite bit of time to wrap my head around exactly what I want to say. However, AI could help with this, right? So I’ve tried it: “Dear Claude, I want to write a quick post inContinue reading “AI written blogpost”
I’m bad at CrossFit
When someone asks me if I exercise, I say that I’m shit at CrossFit. I do go to classes twice or three times a week and I have been going for a few years. I’m still a bit chubby. I injure myself every few months and exercise still hasn’t become a habit. I was cleaningContinue reading “I’m bad at CrossFit”
