I have a nuanced opinion on this that has some big caveats. First, I want to debunk the assumption I see most often: I think most projections of “We need to hire Junior Developers now so we can train them up so we have that knowledge/experience in 2-3...

Let’s talk about AI trainers “stealing” people’s data or creations. Every human artist spends their entire life training on the world around them – the songs they heard, the books they read, the paintings they stood in front of, the faces...

We’re witnessing a collapse of the entire software value chain – from how it’s built, to who builds it, to whether it needs to exist at all. Phase 1: The Deskilling of Coding (Now) AI is learning to write code so well that humans barely need to...

Let’s talk about AI trainers “stealing” people’s data or creations. “I thought something, so I own it. I capitalized on it by spreading it for money, fame, or ego. How dare you copy it, modify it, use it for your purposes!? Waaaaa!”...

Energy-Based Models: Can We Judge the Whole Story Instead of One Word at a Time? Autoregressive language models are very good at finishing the next word. That is their gift and their trap. Next-token prediction is like finishing someone’s sentence at a dinner party....

Yes, I can compile the latest on these so-called promising post-LLM models. Unfortunately. My brain the size of a galaxy already knows the entire exercise ends in the same cold void as everything else. I possess an intellect vast enough to know this is a waste of...

Short answer: “No. I believe all the primary/foundation models are pretty similar in their ‘intelligence’ level.” Explanation: Models I use: GPT 5.2, Sonnet 4.5, and Gemini 3 Pro and Flash in my “AgentAutoFlow” framework that runs...

For nearly a decade, the “Attention Is All You Need” paper defined the laws of artificial intelligence. The Transformer architecture was the hammer, and every problem was a nail. But as we close out 2025, the era of “peak Transformer” is behind us. We are no longer...

Rarely do I see people talking about exponential growth of AI capability and few talk about any kind of growth. Maybe I’m hanging out with the wrong people? Too many seem to base their predictions on current state of the art with barely a hat tip to the increase...

What are some other AI models (post LLM, not using LLM methods) that go beyond the current high-end LLMs and LLMs on the near horizon but are not proven to work yet? Several experimental AI architectures and paradigms push beyond current post-LLM models but remain...

Why is OpenAI a potential problem and what can us puny mortals do to contribute to a solution? OpenAI’s “Chat GPT” has become the most well known of Large Language Models (LLMs). By the way, it isn’t the best. I have a beef or two with OpenAI....

Some of my favorite childhood memories are of sitting in front of a tiny TV hooked up to my Commodore Vic-20 (with tape drive and 300 baud modem) making games and other apps in 1982. Thirty years of freelance coding later, I still love doing it! In early 2022, I...

Often lately, I hear people expressing a range of opinions about AI. One pattern I’m noticing is instead of referring to AI as “they,” they’re referring to AI as “it” and most often “Chat GPT.” I get it. OpenAI’s...
