- The Gate That Couldn't See the Defect
TL;DR: I am building narrated demo videos for an upcoming conference, and one of them went back for rework six times. Three of my own quality checks were involved, and each failed differently. One ranā¦
- Who Pays to Un-Bias Your Agent?
TL;DR: If brands will pay to tilt an AIās answer, someone will pay for the answer that isnāt tilted. That splits the agent economy in two: cheaper, ad-funded agents whose answers lean toward whoever pā¦
- A Content Pipeline That Doesn't Trust Itself
TL;DR: My AI content pipeline once recorded a claim as āVerifiedā in two separate gate reports while the cited page said the opposite ā both gates had matched the pageās topic, not the claim. Another ā¦
- Every Catalog Wants to Be an MCP Server
TL;DR: AWS just shipped an open-source MCP server for the Registry of Open Data ā 1,100+ datasets from 400+ organizations (NASA, NOAA, NIH, the Allen Institute), now discoverable by asking your AI assā¦

- Your Website's Second Audience Just Got Its Own Ads
TL;DR: A few months ago I built an agent-optimized version of this site: when an AI crawler asks for a page, it gets clean Markdown instead of my full HTML. Time Magazine built the same thing, then diā¦
- Laws & Disorder #6 ā Amara's Law: It's Not AGI ā But the Value Is Already Real
TL;DR: Amaraās Law says we overestimate a technologyās impact in the short run and underestimate it in the long run, and the Gartner Hype Cycle draws the same shape: an inflated peak, a trough of disiā¦
- When the SOC Analyst Is an Agent
TL;DR: Amazon GuardDuty now ships an AI investigation agent (in preview) that takes a raw finding, pulls 90 days of related activity, correlates it against threat intel and a knowledge graph, and handā¦
