Vintage Artificial Intelligence: Before It Got Awkward
Long before the current kerfuffle about LLMs, Generative AI Artwork, and asking your tax preparation chatbot for a cookie recipe, the concept of artificial intelligence and synthetic life was a pervasive theme in creative and engineering works. We have the ground-breaking appearance of Rossum's Universal Robots (or…

LLMs could control their host machines by exploiting inference engines
| Read on LessWrong | Comment on HN | Large language models often take actions running on one computer (via an agentic harness such as Claude Code or Codex), however the LLMs’ responses to prompts are computed on a different computer with GPU access.

What my dad taught me about AI coding in the 90s
It was a summer holiday, sometime in the late 1990s. I was a young kid, around 8 or so. My dad had taught me the rules of chess before and we played from time to time. But this time was different: As we were about to start he stood up and walked away from the board, sitting down in a chair across the room and facing…

My agent.md to improve LLM-assisted code quality
The first time I tried to use an LLM to speed up coding was in mid-2025. I was not impressed. I was working on libadbmdns back then, an mDNS implementation in Rust. The code produced would not even compile.

A week of using Codex more than Claude
Claude goes above and beyond what is asked and guesses what you might want. Codex does what you tell it and stops at the first sign that it might be done. Ten impressions from a week of using Codex more.

I'm becoming AI-blind
Recently I've been catching myself having these little moments at work, when I'm trying to read a document someone has sent me and my brain somehow refuses to analyze it. It feels like I'm reading it, but I'm unable to focus on its content. I sat down to analyze these situations and realized they all have a common…

The Mojo language (by Modular, now Qualcomm) is now open-source
Four and a half years ago, Modular made a bet: AI would not run on one kind of silicon forever, and the software stack would need to be rearchitected for a world of heterogeneous hardware and increasingly complex AI workloads.

AI;DR (AI; Didn't Read)
I'm about as pro-AI as you can be, but this is becoming a pet peeve of mine (and I'm not alone). That's why I love the AI;DR acronym as my new solution for ignoring the walls of slop.
