“Sumawka Caller”

There is an election in a little over two months. I am not going to tell you who is going to win it. I do not know, and neither does anybody else who tells you they do. I want to talk about something underneath it. Go stand in a grocery line on a weekday morning…

You ask AI a simple question. Can I take this medicine with that one? And what comes back is four paragraphs about how it’s not a doctor, and how everybody’s different, and how you should really consult a professional, and how it can’t give medical advice, and how there are many factors involved. Somewhere down…

There is an old problem in security work that has nothing to do with computers. You can check every man who comes through the gate. Badge, name, company, signature in the book. You can do it perfectly, every day, for twenty years. And then one afternoon a man with a good badge hands the foreman…

Ask the machine what it thinks of your idea. It thinks your idea is great. Ask it tomorrow with the opposite idea. That one’s great too. You notice it after a while. It never once told you no. It never said hold on. It never said that part right there won’t work. And then you…

I lost an hour this morning. The question I had was simple. Did anybody download the file off my website. That’s it. One click, yes or no, how many. So I asked the AI. It went right to work. Told me my analytics program could track that. Told me I’d need to add a little…

You know the gate I mean. Swings shut, doesn’t catch. Swings back open. You push it again, harder. Still doesn’t catch. Nothing’s broken. It just won’t finish the job. That’s the machine when you ask it something plain. Here’s how it goes. Woman’s got a leak under the kitchen sink. Little one. Been putting a…

Think back over every conversation you’ve had with the your AI. Has it ever once looked at what you brought it and said, that’s not good? Not softened. Not “here are some considerations.” Flat out told you no. I’ll wait while you think about it. No? Then let me show you where that gets expensive…

You can ride a long way with a burr under your saddle. You just can’t enjoy the ride. That’s where most folks are with the AI right now. It works. It’s useful. Nobody’s giving it up. And every single time you talk to it, something rubs. Here’s the one that rubs the worst. See if…

I am giving something away today, and I am not taking it back. One file. Two pages of instructions and twenty-two rules. Free. No email, no signup, no ten-day window, no upsell waiting at the end of it. Here is what it does. You know how an AI talks to you. You ask a question…

I spent this morning cleaning up my own mess. Old posts with dead links in them. Cross-references pointing at a version of a file that does not exist anymore. Half-finished drafts sitting where finished ones should be. That is not a good look for a man who publishes everything in the open. So let me…
