There’s a research paper that’s been making the rounds recently, a study by MIT’s Media Lab, that talks about the cognitive cost of using LLMs (Large Language Models that power AI apps like ChatGPT). In the study, researchers asked 54 participants to write essays. They divided them into 3 groups – one that could use…

The best performing post on this blog is a 20,000 word tome on the Google Agent Development Kit. Granted, maybe half the words are code samples, but without AI this would have taken me weeks to write. With AI, it was just a few days. Great articles, the kind that get shared in Slack channels,…

The CEO of Zapier recently announced that they have more AI agents working for them than human employees. Now that sounds exciting and terrifying but the truth is most of the “agents” he listed out are really just simple automations (with some AI sprinkled in). He is, after all, promoting his own company, which he…

I was at Web Summit Vancouver last week, a tech conference where the only topic of every conversation was, surprise surprise, AI! As someone who has been in the space for years, well before the ChatGPT boom, I was excited to talk to my fellow nerds about the latest tools and tech. And I was…

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella recently declared that “we’ve entered the era of AI agents,” highlighting that AI models are now more capable and efficient thanks to groundbreaking advancements in reasoning and memory. Google recently announced a whole slew of new agentic tools in their recent I/O conference. Every major tech company is going all in…

Recent research by McKinsey shows that 31% of the workforce will require retraining or reskilling within the next three years. With companies rushing to become AI-first, I’m not surprised. In fact, I think that number should be higher. Much like digital literacy became essential in the early 2000s, AI literacy is the new baseline for…

At the start of this year, Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, said 2025 will be the year of the AI agent. Many high-profile companies like Shopify and Duolingo have reinvented themselves with AI at it score, building internal systems and agents to automate processes and reduce headcount. I spent the last 3 years running a…

I’ll be honest with you, I don’t actually like the term “vibe coding” because it makes it sound easy and error-free. Like oh I’m just going with the vibes, let’s see where it takes us. But the reality is it takes a lot of back and forth, restarts, research, repeats, re-everything to build and ship…

How would you react if your friend or a family member said they were going to invest all their time and money into building a company called Poober, the Uber for picking up dog poop? Think about it, you’re walking your dog and it lays down a mini-mountain of the brown stuff. The smell alone…

Yesterday OpenAI rolled out o3, the first reasoning model that is also agentic. Reasoning models have been around for a while, and o3 has been around in it’s mini version as well. However, the full release yesterday showed us a model that not only reasons, but can browse, run Python, and look at your images…
