Right now, on 2026-03-26, using my AgentAutoFlow + Kilo Code + VS Code setup. Let’s compare two scenarios; Human + AI working together vs Human coding an issue alone. I’ll choose a relatively small issue (something to fix or add to a project) because (a)...

Let’s look at these post-LLM experiments. Not to worship them. Not to sneer at them. To understand what problem they’re trying to solve. And what emotional itch we’re scratching by chasing them. Energy-Based Models: Can We Judge the Whole Story Instead of One Word at...

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...

A couple quotes that caught my eye today: “We are dangerously confusing computational speed with legal reasoning. While AI can be extraordinarily useful, it cannot replace the reasoning of educated, experienced lawyers. The fact is that AI only simulates...

“An interesting trend I’m seeing is that some of the most elite teams are abandoning AI coding altogether.” I hear this is happening in some companies and figure it is because:(a) They either started too soon (before LLMs were smart enough;(b) They...

Yay there are many to choose from! If you work in VS Code, the one that stands out for me is Roo Code. Some things I love about it: (1) Free – you just plug the API keys in for whatever models you wan to use. The only limits come from the models through API. (2)...

Let’s talk about AI trainers “stealing” people’s data or creations. If your child sits in front of YouTube learning how to pair photons using Swain’s Wobulation Theorem, invents wormholes, and goes on to get mega rich by commercializing...

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...
