For the past few years, we were told that AI can calculate, predict, imitate, and search. But it cannot really discover. That last part was supposed to be different. A calculator can give you the answer. A search engine can find the answer. An AI can even explain the answer. But discovering something that nobody […]
There is a point in every industry where you have to step out of the weeds and look at the whole landscape. AI has reached that point. The mainstream conversation is stuck on the technical treadmill: new models, new infrastructure, new GPUs, new frameworks, new benchmarks. All fascinating, no doubt. But fascination is not the […]
We’ve reached a point where people talk about technology as if it’s the destination (look what’s happening with AI these days). It is not! Technology is only useful when it serves a human purpose. Everything else is noisy shiny distracting, and completely disconnected from the real problems we face as a species. I’ve spent almost […]
The new illusion These days, the industries have a new religion: Agentic AI will fix everything! People talk as if tools have finally replaced thinking, planning, and responsibility. But the fantasy is the same as before, only louder. A tool can act. A tool can automate. A tool can even decide within a narrow frame. […]
I have talked many times about management and why I believe a manager cannot be truly effective if s/he does not understand the details of what they are managing, but there is another part of management that I think is equally important and rarely discussed honestly: “Politics“. I grew up in a culture where keeping […]
If You Were Ahead of the Curve 30 or 40 Years Ago… That means you built a first-principles understanding of computing, networks, and systems. Most people today—even in AI—are building on abstractions. But you? You understand the layers beneath. And remember: that’s not obsolete; it’s leverage. What I’m really saying is, you’re lucky if you […]
…Generations have already lost their Appetite to Learn, to Explore, and to Cherish the Beauty of Science and True Knowledge, let alone Pursuing Wisdom… First of all, I think we excessively use the term “AI” irrelevantly; most of the time, I mean the term “artificial intelligence” is being overly used in a way that is […]
Is social media really a platform to deliver your message to your audience? I hope the answer is yes. That is what we have been told. You create an account, build an audience, post your thoughts, and the platform helps your message reach the people who are interested in it. The reality is different! Social […]
The new obsession This feels like the beginning of a new religion. ChatGPT arrives, and suddenly everyone believes they’ve found the cure for everything. Every question, every confusion, every gap in understanding, now delegated to a chatbot. The same pattern repeats: a new tool, a new promise, a new exhaustion. People forget that every tool […]
The myth of the self‑running system Every year, the industry repeats the same fantasy: buy the right tool, and the work will magically disappear. But tools do not create plans. Tools do not define objectives. Tools do not understand your environment, your risks, or your deadlines. A tool can automate a task. It cannot replace […]
a new label doesn’t create a new capability.” know what you actually need most people start with vendors before they start with themselves. that is the first mistake. if you don’t know what problem you are solving, every vendor suddenly looks “perfect”. it’s like walking into a hardware store without knowing if you need a […]
well, I actually changed the second part sarcastically, this is the original version: I am not the technical person but I really must sell you something today, can I connect you to another person in my company, an engineer perhaps? you know, we have a very great product but I am just lacking understanding what […]
