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”

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”
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”
Companies with a culture of transparent communication will get the most value out of AI
We are moving from time of LLMs without the context or with the context of a prompt to AI Agents which should be self-reliant and acting without peoples’ input. If you have worked in any company in a white-collar job, you might start to think: “Most of the work I do is based on oneContinue reading “Companies with a culture of transparent communication will get the most value out of AI”
Company culture for hardcore capitalists
I find it baffling that even in hardcore capitalistic circles, company culture and what it means for the company and profits is incredibly misunderstood. And I wonder if one of the reasons is that there is no project or programme you can run to “fix culture” and bring 10 FTE savings or salary decreases acrossContinue reading “Company culture for hardcore capitalists”
Delegating to AI made this header pretty boring
This post is about good old delegating outcomes versus delegating tasks and why it matters even more in the AI era. I tried a few different prompts to generate a header for this post. All of them were pretty much what you would expect. All the drivel you find all over LinkedIn, marketing materials orContinue reading “Delegating to AI made this header pretty boring”
The ambiguous landscape of technology and its terminology
You hear terminology like DevOps, Data Lake, Big Data, Data Science, DataOps all around. But what are those? One thing you can do is to google them, right? I just googled “Data Lake”, so you don’t have to. You are welcome. The first two ads were for technology vendors, the third ad was from anContinue reading “The ambiguous landscape of technology and its terminology”
