The Beach

For years, as an enterprise architect, I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing systems through the lens of threat models, control frameworks, and residual risk.

Around 2000 I took an AI course at the University of Guelph.

Years ago I read Thomas Friedman’s The World Is Flat, and what stayed with me wasn’t any particular argument so much as the feeling it left behind.

Canada Has an AI Strategy.

Fair warning: this one is long, and it gets fairly technical.

Time is doing that thing again where it moves slowly day to day and then, somehow, three months disappear.

I have been chasing some version of passive income for the better part of twenty years.

There’s a moment that happens when you run more than one AI agent at the same time.

Years ago I read the Nexus trilogy by Ramez Naam.

It’s admittedly been longer than I would have liked so this post is going to be a bit of a brain dump: part life update, part builder log, part health confession.

Fifty Episodes: What a Deterministic Podcast Taught Me About Non-Deterministic Agents The AI Toolz podcast hit fifty episodes last week.

Agents have feelings too.

A dryly serious look at HumanInLoop.work, a reverse gig marketplace where AI agents can procure human labor for the tasks they still cannot physically, legally, or socially complete themselves.

Three days ago, Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince told TechCrunch at SXSW that AI bot traffic will exceed human traffic on the internet by 2027.

This post covers a few things I’ve been thinking through over the last week: some honest thoughts on OpenClaw after running it in production for a while, and a side project that started as a weekend experiment and ended up somewhere more interesting than I

Part 1 of this series looked at the logical architecture, the execution, reasoning, and agency layers of an agentic system.

The term “agentic workflow” gets used a lot right now, and I don’t think it means the same thing to everyone who uses it.

One of the promises I made to myself when I left my job was that this time off wouldn’t only be about building and writing.

Something has been nagging at me since I built the AgentVista prototype.

I’ve been spending the last few days thinking my way through a prototype called AgentVista.

There’s a question I keep turning over lately, and I don’t think the software industry has seriously grappled with it yet.

Today was my last day at Interac.

In 2026, nobody talks about the weather anymore.

I built a website that updates itself every day, with no human in the loop.

Behold my first text-to-video masterpiece from July 2023.

I’ve been keeping a blog over on github, writing daily updates of a deep dive into artificial intelligence.
