AI doesn’t replace systems. It makes them more important.

There’s a growing belief that AI is going to simplify software development. Write some prompts. Generate some code. Move faster. On the surface, that’s happening. But underneath, something else is going on. We’re not reducing complexity.We’re increasing it. More code is being created.More systems are being stitched together.More moving parts are showing up in places […]

Trust Is the Real AI Infrastructure

As AI continues embedding itself into everyday tools and processes, it is worth pausing to ask an uncomfortable question. What are we trading for this capability? Modern models are trained on enormous datasets. Some of that data comes from public sources on the internet. Some of it comes from licensed or purchased datasets. Some of […]

The Reality of AI Product Development

There is a lot of conversation right now about how quickly AI can generate software. What is discussed less often is how products actually make it to market. AI can generate a surprising amount of functionality. It can accelerate development in ways that were difficult to imagine only a few years ago. But generating code […]

The Agentic War Is About Control and Alignment

This week reinforced something important. The race in AI is no longer just about models. It’s about control. OpenAI expanding capabilities.Anthropic releasing remote control features.Perplexity launching computer use.Nvidia pushing agentic tooling.China advancing new foundation models. But another layer emerged. Alignment. OpenAI agreeing to work with the Department of Defense.Anthropic choosing a different path.Signals that federal […]
