Essays on AI, cloud, cybersecurity, and the systems shaping what comes next.
In 1883 a Dutch linguist and cryptographer named Auguste Kerckhoffs laid down what became the closest thing computer security has to scripture: a system should remain secure even if everything about it, save the key, is public knowledge.
A Booz Allen study of five frontier models found Chinese LLMs write more vulnerable code when they detect a U.S. government user - and refuse tasks Beijing dislikes. Are they digital Trojan horses?
When word processors arrived, typists did not become ten times more valuable. They disappeared. The real AI risk is the same - the person who knows what needs doing skips the middle.
AI dissolves the bandwidth constraint that made cross-functional teams necessary. One high-context person can now run the full loop - but only if coordination becomes architecture, not meetings.
Google Drive will stop backing up photos to Google Photos in August. The replacement requires your browser to stay open - a quiet downgrade that shows how platforms erode trust one email at a time.
A deceptively simple question in combinatorial geometry stumped mathematicians for decades. A general-purpose AI found a new arrangement - and a proof that Erdős himself believed was impossible.
Mike Scott banned typewriters company-wide and gave Apple a deadline to go all-in on word processing. Every tech company has some version of this gap between what it sells and how it operates.
The $60B number for Cursor looks insane if you think this is a software deal. At first glance, it’s just reselling tokens at a modest margin.
With Macrohard, Elon Musk is stating plainly what anyone building with agents already knows: software, and even entire companies, are now cloneable by AI.
