Claude Haiku is the single biggest weakness in the Anthropic ecosystem now. Haiku is intended as a low cost, fast, and cheap model to do basic work – reading, summarization, web search, etc. And at the time of its release almost a year ago, it did those things reasonably well. But times change. Models change.…
Summary In today's episode, I break down how to defend your website against competitors who deploy AI agents to scrape your pricing pages and summarize your gated content for countermarketing. Here's what this means for you. You can build layered bot defenses that turn cheap, automated scraping into a resource-draining dead end so adversaries give…
AI is a pay cut for you, the human. It’s tempting to take the easy route and talk about a stagnant job market, or tech companies using AI as a cover for large scale job cuts, but that’s not what I’m talking about here. A decade ago, Katie Robbert and I worked at a PR…
“Without pulling up the document, tell me what’s in it.” That one sentence tells you in seconds whether or not something is AI slop. You don’t need an AI detector. You don’t need fancy software. You don’t need to burn more tokens or waste more resources. Whether you’re a supervisor, a parent, a teacher, or…
Summary In today's episode, I walk through how to build a multi-gate verification layer that catches silent logic-based failures in AI-generated code before they reach production. Here's what this means for you. You get a practical, layered framework to validate untrustworthy machine output without relying solely on human reviewers. You'll also learn these concepts: why…
This one hastily made slide explains pre-IPO jitters better than anything else when it comes to AI. DeepSeek released its v4 Flash model earlier this year, on April 24. At its release, it was widely regarded as pretty smart and stupid cheap for its size. For a lot of folks using agentic AI, its pay…
Fifth generation AI models understand time. I discovered this morning, working in Claude Code with Sonnet 5, that it can have an awareness of time and work to a time budget. Previous generations of models lacked this awareness; it seems like models that are aligned strongly for agentic AI can do this. Here’s how it…
Summary In today's episode, I explore how people worldwide can reduce their dependence on US-based technology companies by tapping into sovereign AI labs, local inference providers, and open-source models. Here's what this means for you. You gain a practical roadmap to access capable AI that runs within your own jurisdiction, keeps your data private, and…
