Where AI, quantum computing and digital innovation converge. Long-form notes from building AI systems, digital twins and quantum software.
The Future of Agentic Cybersecurity: When the Attacker's Model Has No Refusals
Security teams are deploying autonomous agents to find and fix vulnerabilities. Attackers are deploying the same class of system on open weights with the refusals removed. That asymmetry — not model capability — is the security problem of the next few years.
Harness Engineering: The Architecture of Intelligence Amplification
The biggest gains in AI aren't coming from bigger models — they're coming from better harnesses. Harness engineering is the emerging discipline of building the orchestration layer that turns raw model intelligence into reliable, operational capability.
The 2026 Tipping Point: Why the "Decade of Agents" Will Cause a Corporate Collapse (And How to Survive It)
We stand at a deceptive calm before a structural hurricane. While AI demos dazzle and investment soars, the real economic impact remains muted—yet 2026 is forecasted to be the year this tension snaps. Based on insights from leading AI researchers and recent GDPval benchmark data, this post synthesizes why knowledge work is "cooked," why corporations face existential collapse, and the radical reset required to survive.
Cheap, previous‑gen “mini” models are wildly under-rated
For many workloads, previous‑gen “mini” models feel close enough to today’s top models that the cost gap becomes the dominant variable.
Vibe Coding: The Shift to AI as the Primary Implementation Engine
I’ve experienced the future of software development: vibe coding with foundation models like Claude Opus 4.5. It's not just about speed—it's a fundamental shift in the engineering role.
The Future of AI-Assisted Development
Exploring how artificial intelligence is transforming software development, from code generation to architectural decisions, and what it means for developers in the coming decade.
