A real boring admission
This will be short. I want to explain why I haven’t been writing recently. It’s about AI and it’s a shameful admission.
Things to do before starting your big GenAI project
You’ve heard the warnings. You’ve read up on the importance of figuring out your ROI before starting on your journey. The calculations show a positive return on investment for your project. Now what? Where lie the monsters? Here! Look here!
Effort is for Winners, or why I'm removing ai-generated content
I’m removing AI-generated slop-illustrations from the blog. In this brave new world of genAI, intentionality and process matter more than ever. When everybody can cheat, the exam answers are worthless. What you test for is the process. This feels familiar.
What's the ROI on your genAI deployments?
What’s the payback time for your fancy GenAI project? Will the rate of return outdo the stock market? As GenAI becomes less magical fairydust, and more hands-on work, it’s time you looked at the ROI on your GenAI initiatives.
All art here will be handmade going forward
Announcement. Most of the illustrations in this website were generated by Google’s Gemini AI. It was done when I didn’t know any better. I will eventually be replacing them with my own hand-drawn art.
