You Never Controlled Your Code. AI Just Made That Obvious.
A little more than twenty years ago, I was giving a talk in Orlando. We had built a code generation platform, and I was showing it off at an industry event. Someone in the audience raised their hand. \"Are you worried about giving up control? You're letting the computer generate code for you.\" I told...
Why Ant Colonies Might Be Key for AI Adoption
No ant has a blueprint of the colony. No ant knows the master plan. Yet somehow, every ant colony in the world solves the same spatial optimization problem: food storage, waste disposal, and cemetery, all positioned as far apart as physically possible within the colony's architecture.

Most Multi-Agent AI Collaboration is Faking It.
I remember the first time I did a job interview with a panel. It was intense.

I graduated college 30 years ago. Email wasn't a big thing, and the web (and YouTube) didn't really exist. So imagine what it took, how much work was involved, to learn something new. I'm not saying I walked to school in the snow, uphill both ways. But learning something new meant either finding a mentor...
Grow Your Business Profits in 2023
If you're looking to grow profits next year, you've likely already made your plans for the new year. I get that. And it's the last days of this year, so you've stopped reading blogs. I get that too. But there's a good chance that while you've used one or a couple of the strategies below...
