AI in Practice My Visitors Are Not All Human. That Is Fine. I built a traffic dashboard for my own site. What I found wasn't alarming, it was interesting. A publisher's notes on bots, borrowed identities, and editorial agency.
Europe When the Platform Becomes the Policy The EU is taking Meta to court over WhatsApp AI access. The Dutch government is quietly switching messengers. Both point to the same structural shift.
AI in Practice GPT Image 2 Changed My Mind on AI Visuals I had quietly written ChatGPT off for image generation. Then GPT Image 2 showed me a technical diagram of a washing machine, and I had to revise that judgment.
AI in Practice Dressing up an AI Model in a Harness An engineer friend calls the infrastructure around an AI model a harness. The word is technically accurate and instinctively wrong. What that tension reveals.
AI in Practice Built in, not bolted on Most organisations are adding AI to software that was never designed for it. The real gains come when AI is part of the architecture, not an add-on to it.
AI in Practice The Workspace You Already Have Knowledge workers have built informal AI workspaces from Claude, Gemini, and Google Drive. The gap isn't the tools. It's governance, sharing, and where the data lives.
AI Governance When Git Grows Up Git-based knowledge management has always been too complex for content teams. Agents change that, and the implications for governance-heavy organisations are worth watching.
AI in Practice Delegating Past Your Own Ceiling Cloudflare is powerful enough to extend anything Ghost can't do. The problem is complexity. Claude Code changed that by operating the layer I previously couldn't reach.
AI in Practice Guests That Should Behave Bots are modern guests. Most are welcome. But when they arrive in disguise with a real browser and spike your analytics, hospitality has limits. A Cloudflare story.
Future of Work Bildung and the Function Problem Wilhelm von Humboldt's idea of education as self-formation looks increasingly useful when AI handles the tasks that used to define professional identity.
AI in Practice Claude Code Routines and the Access Problem Claude Code's new Routines feature ran my Google Calendar briefing immediately, no setup. The reason: authentication was already there.
AI in Practice The Claude plan I actually use Pro subscription, a prepaid credit buffer, and Sonnet for most things. For a non-coder working with AI daily, this turns out cheaper than the Max plans.
Europe The EU Age Verification App Was Designed to Be Distrusted The EU Age Verification App is technically sound and communicated all wrong. It buried the upside, led with fear, and launched a framework as a product.
AI in Practice The article I couldn't write I tried to write about digital sovereignty. The piece kept splitting into three. That splitting, I think, is the actual story.
AI in Practice Google AI Plus, Pro, Ultra: Clearing Up a Year of Name Changes Google renamed its AI subscription three times in a year. Gemini Advanced, AI Premium, AI Pro, now three tiers. Here is what each covers, and where Workspace and the free Gemini app fit in.
AI Governance The AI Continuity Problem AI is load-bearing in my company. That creates a new kind of business risk: what happens when access breaks, gets priced out, or gets cut off?
AI in Practice The Neural Engine Does Not Run Your LLM My earlier post on AI hardware implied the Neural Engine handles on-device AI. It doesn't, not for LLMs. Here is what it actually does, and why the distinction matters.
AI in Practice Running Gemma 4 on Your iPhone Google's Gemma 4 runs offline on your iPhone. A follow-up to my local LLM experiment, now with a sharper app, a better model, and a clearer sense of what this category is becoming.
AI in Practice My First Mac App I described a workflow problem to Claude. It wrote me a compiled Swift app using Xcode. That sentence still feels odd to type.
AI in Practice ChatGPT Thinks With You. Claude Builds With You. I switched from ChatGPT to Claude. The difference isn't the model. It's the shift from cognitive support to digital crafting, and what that makes possible.
Europe Leuven's quiet superpower: imec Imec in Leuven just received the world's most advanced chip machine. The story of how a small Flemish city became a global semiconductor choke point starts in 1984.
AI in Practice Back to the file Thirty years of web technology, and the most reliable setup is still a text file on a server. We just needed AI to get back there.
Europe EU Inc.: between words and reality in Europe’s new company proposal EU Inc. sounds simple: 48 hours, €100, fully online. In reality, it marks a deeper shift in how Europe deals with its fragmented systems.
Future of Work Mapping AI Exposure Across the Dutch Labour Market From US model to Dutch labour market in an afternoon, using AI and public data. A small project that says something larger about data work.
When AI Moves Into Your Working Environment The real change in AI may not be the models, but where they run. When AI enters the working environment, the workflow itself begins to shift.
