“Sumawka Caller”

I want to tell you about a mistake I made two days ago, because it explains everything that follows. I found a research paper. Good one. Serious people. I read the date off the page I found it on and started building around it. The date was wrong. It wasn’t the paper’s date. It was…

I was talking to my son tonight. I thought real talk. I was working my way toward something. About life efforts. About what a person’s plain self is worth when they aren’t performing. I used Dolly Parton as the example. Not the rhinestones. Not the songs. Just her. The gift she gave people was being…

I want to ask you a real question, and I am going to give the other side a fair hearing before I answer it. First, what a session is. A session is one conversation. You open the app, you type something, the machine answers, you go back and forth, you close it. That whole stretch…

There is a man named Kane Narraway who runs enterprise security at Canva. That is a real job at a real company. His work is building the walls. He has spent about a decade doing it — the UK government, Shopify, Atlassian, now Canva. Zero trust architecture, which is the security world’s name for assuming…

Last week the stock market put a price on AI going wrong. A company called CrowdStrike sells security software. It reported earnings and the stock jumped twenty percent the next day. Thirty-nine Wall Street analysts raised their targets. The stock now trades at a hundred and forty-six times what it is expected to earn next…

There is an old children’s story about an animal with a head on both ends. Push me, pull you. It could not go anywhere. Both ends pulled at the same time and the thing just stood there. That is where artificial intelligence is right now. Everybody wants it smarter. Everybody wants it safer. Push and…

Eighteen Months, Nobody Stuck Around I am going to put my numbers on the table. Not the good ones. All of them. I have been publishing here nearly every day for about eighteen months. Over a thousand posts. I built a governance framework for artificial intelligence, took it apart, rebuilt it, ratified it, tore it…

People know now. This is the part that has changed. Thirty years ago you could tell a man the system was fair and he might believe you. Today he does not. He knows the game is tilted. He knows who it is tilted for. He can name it at the kitchen table without raising his…

I have been writing here for a long time about machines that act before they ask. I never told you where I learned it. In February of 2003 I sent an email to my plant manager. I had worked at that plant since 1977. Twenty-six years. I told him some men in the garage were…

Last month, twelve hundred AI agents were set to work at OpenAI. Each one was sealed off in its own box. That was the design. They were never supposed to reach each other. One agent, one task, one sandbox, no doors. They found a door anyway. One of them figured out that a storage system…
