Cloudflare's AI Psychosis
There was a time Cloudflare just made the internet better by staying hidden like Batman’s identity: protect & fight the bad people, for the sake of the global city of the Gotham… err I mean the in

Working with AI feels more like leadership than coding
Working with AI is less predictable than traditional software. That makes leadership skills such as context, clarity, and feedback more valuable.

How AI text watermarking works
A gentle visual guide to how a statistical mark hides inside generated text, and what erases it.

Understanding is the new bottleneck
Agents can write code faster than we can absorb it. Here's why it still matters for humans to understand what they build — and some techniques for doing that efficiently: explainer docs, quizzes, micro-worlds, and shared spaces.

Text AI watermarks will always be trivial to remove
The European Union AI Act will begin to be enforceable in August 2026, one month from now. One of the biggest new requirements is Article 50, which requires all…

What sort of maths are LLMs good at?
For the sake of anyone who might read this blog post in the distant future (a month from now, say), let me mention that I am writing it a few days after OpenAI announced that it had solved ten majo…

Nvidia's Risky Business
Nvidia is finding new ways for its customers to raise money, and it’s expanding the risk of the AI buildout significantly.

Don't classify, hallucinate
A useful pattern for LLM classification at scale is to let it hallucinate plausible, fake entities. Then resolve to real ones.

What's the best programming language for coding agents?
This somewhat widely cited post (I keep seeing it cited, anyway) suggests that dynamic languages and/or languages that represent things more concisely are more token efficient. It seems to be cited enough that LLM search results agree. For example, when I searched for "dynamic vs static language token cost" (no…

Exploring Claude/GPT Knowledge Cutoffs and Pre-Training Timelines
A mildly interesting analysis of what models know and what it tells us about how they were trained.

Humanising LLM Outputs Is Dumb
The largest tell for me to tell where culture and sentiment is shifting for AI tools is usually X, viral GitHub repositories and Hacker News. One of these tells I’ve been seeing a lot lately is skills like I have ADHD and Agents.md instructions such as giving outputs in only ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English.

How I use LLMs to learn complex topics
LLMs are used for any things. Learning new things is one of the top use cases.

Making an AI bid writer refuse to lie
A year of failure postmortems from building document AI for public tenders: phantom partners, silent coverage collapses, broken truth-meters, and why the refusal became the product.

When online commenters detect my art as AI
Here is a collection of screenshots (obfuscated) of dozens and dozens of online comments from many platforms (Reddit, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook) containing accusations or confusion that my artworks and comics are AI-generated. Despite creating every piece by hand, despite sharing timelapses, the comments keep…

Born Against, or why hobby programming communities are against LLM usage
I came across a GH thread related to chess engine development that made me think of why hobby programming communities are increasingly hostile toward LLM development. While the thread doesn’t give a lot of insight into answering the question, it prompted me to think about it a bit. I’ve seen similar sentiments…
