AI 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.
Sovereignty 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?
Apple 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 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 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.
Claude 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.
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.
Claude 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.
AI A Personal Retention Strategy for ChatGPT From digital scarcity to data abundance, and why I now choose deliberate reset over permanent retention in ChatGPT.
Future of Work Vision, Judgement, Creativity: Reclaiming Agency in the Age of AI From analysis paralysis to agency: why vision, judgement and creativity matter most in an AI-shaped world.
PersonaPlex marks a shift from dictation to conversation Dictation turns speech into text. Conversation works in time. PersonaPlex marks the moment voice AI starts to operate in real-time dialogue.
Future of Work What coding with AI feels like now There is a lot of noise about AI replacing programmers. I wanted something else: a sense of what is feasible, what is throwaway, and where judgement still matters.
ChatGPT ChatGPT Personal vs Business If you use ChatGPT both privately and at work, you may have noticed this: one conversation seems to carry on over time, the other keeps resetting. Same system, different behaviour. That difference is deliberate, and it matters.
AI Exploring ISO 42001 and AI governance As I dive deeper into EU AI regulation, ISO 42001 keeps surfacing. This piece explores what it is, how certification works, and why it matters for vendors.
Future of Work AI literacy: from definition to practice AI literacy rarely shows up as a skill gap. It appears when organisations need to justify decisions, manage risk, and remain accountable.
Etymology Word of the year: model The word model comes from modulus, Latin for ‘measure’. It refers to simplified representations we use to make sense of reality, from maps to AI systems.
AI Blogging year in Review 2025 A short reflection on writing, learning, and making deliberate choices in a year where the digital ground kept shifting.
Europe The Hot Potato of Compliance From GDPR to the EU AI Act, a recurring pattern emerges: European regulation lands in procurement, spreading responsibility, caution, and friction.
AI Why AI Image Editing Is Often Rebuilding AI can make true pixel edits, but many image “fixes” work by reconstruction. Typography and colourisation expose where rebuilding replaces editing.
Knowledge Engineering Structuring Knowledge with Obsidian Discovering how Obsidian, Markdown and a light taxonomy can reveal the hidden structure of five years of writing and open a path toward knowledge engineering.
Knowledge Engineering Making Content Ready for Intelligence Unstructured content already holds the knowledge organisations rely on. The shift is learning how to reveal its structure so intelligent systems can use it.
AI Voice Mode Without the Screen Voice mode with Gemini and ChatGPT. On iOS the lock screen, Dynamic Island, and Live Activities decide whether your assistant stays visible.
ChatGPT Group Chats in ChatGPT: Solving a Problem That Isn’t There ChatGPT’s strength has been a focused space to think, explore, and learn. By pushing into group messaging, it risks disturbing that clarity. When an assistant becomes a social venue, not only does the feature struggle to justify itself. It threatens the very environment that made the tool valuable.
Google The Workspace Advantage: Google’s Quiet Lead in the AI Shift The real AI race is not model vs model, but who owns the environment where work lives. Gemini 3 gives Google a quiet but strategic advantage.
