#042 - These broken machines
Remember: never let the machines run unattended.
#041 - Cashing in
Chasing momentum and Meta money.
#040 - All hammer, no nail
GenAI companies keep cooking up wild use cases. Here's how to spot the winners.
#039 - Small-batch, hand-crafted code
Hand-waving sometimes works, but sometimes it doesn't. Also: when people and machines write code.
#038 - Exploiting our weaknesses
When genAI chatbots and tools get into our human wiring.
#037 - Cranking out trash
On checking your genAI chatbot's work, and playing the blame game.
#036 - Relationship status: "it's complicated"
Our relationship with robots should be simple. Creepy, commercial GenAI has made it anything but.
#035 - This time, it actually is different
GenAI breaks away from the pack. And not in a good way.
#034 - Agent double-0 nothing
A look into agentic AI's hazy present. And possible future improvements. With some ideas from algorithmic trading.
#033 - GenAI is an executive's best friend
I'll emphasize: "best" friend. Not always "a good" friend.
#032 - What the machines don't know
Incomplete information can make AI models overly optimistic – even arrogant.
#031 - Deep secrets
LLMs remind us of a special kind of model error: inappropriate answers. Here are three lessons from a chatbot that knows when to clam up.
#030 - The countdown to zero
What happens when AI's various costs dwindle?
#029 - Setting it in motion
What history tells us about giving things away for free.
#028 - A model rebellion
Two competing pieces of AI news landed within a few days of each other. What does this mean for the space?
#027 - A difference of time
GenAI product companies live in the future. Too bad their customers are in the present.
#026 - A brief chatbot detour
Bots say the darndest things. Why do we keep learning this the hard way?
#025 - My risk, or yours?
A subtle risk/reward tradeoff sheds light on AI product companies.
#024 - AI's last-mile problem
Robots start the job, but people finish it.
#023 - We'll fix it in post
Fixing a genAI bot after it's been released into the wild. What an app failure can teach us about AI and risk. And more text summarization bots (because why not?).
