I checked the thing everyone trusts.
Where something is correlation I say correlation, and when the finding makes my own work look worse it goes out anyway.

Everyone is shipping AI.
Almost nobody shows it
doing real work.
The demos are impressive. Then you point the same thing at a client site with ten years of plugins on it and it falls over, and nobody writes that part down. I write that part down. One researched piece a week.

If you build with it, work in the industry, or have something stuck that an agent might fix, write to me. No pitch needed. I read every message.
