“Sumawka Caller”

Let me tell you what showed up in the trade press this week. TechRadar Pro ran a piece about agentic AI in regulated industries. Audit firms. Finance operations. The kind of places where a mistake doesn’t just cost money — it costs licenses, careers, and trust. The article says these tools are already embedded everywhere….

The Faust Baseline is already sitting at the table waitng to show them the way. This week the Wall Street Journal ran a story about angry men in expensive suits. The angriest one is Alex Karp. He runs Palantir, a company that sells software to the United States government and to some of the biggest…

Last week the BBC sat down with with Yann LeCun. If that name means nothing to you, here’s the plain version. He spent ten years as the chief AI scientist at Meta — the company that owns Facebook. He is one of a handful of people on this earth who can honestly say they built…

This week in Geneva, the world’s institutions gathered for the AI for Good Global Summit, and the head of the UN’s telecommunications agency said something I want you to hear. Doreen Bogdan-Martin, the ITU Secretary-General, looked at years of global AI governance work and said, “It’s time to move from principles to practice.” It’s an…

There is a thermostat in this country. It has been running since before anyone reading this was born. Nobody installed it on purpose. It came with the house. Here is how it works. When the people in power push too far in one direction, the country pushes back. Not all at once. Not with speeches….

Three people who have never met just wrote the same sentence. I was the first one, and I can prove it with a calendar. Here’s the sentence, plain as I can pour it: the checkpoint belongs before the work, not after. Now let me show you the three arrivals, in order. June 21, 2026. A…

Well-being. The dictionary keeps it simple: the state of being comfortable, healthy, or happy. Soak it in, then ask yourself when you last felt like the country was living in it. That’s not a political question. I’m not selling a party here, and I won’t. Ask anybody, any side of the aisle, any corner of…

The Flaw Already Had a Name. The rules were all in place. The rules fired. The rules lost anyway. Let me tell you why — because I wrote the reason down eighteen days before it made the news.
