Grey, Corporate, or Start Again
A founder reflects on an interview moment that revealed an uncomfortable truth: moving into a corporate hierarchy can be a closed door for people shaped by startup operating systems. The piece argues that starting again is often less about skill or thrill and more about rejecting two respectable but suffocating exits. Continue reading
Enterprise software won’t be built. It will be assembled
Enterprise software is shifting from multi-year builds to fast assembly for a growing class of judgment-heavy processes. The winning pattern pairs a vertical GenAI judgment layer with a horizontal workflow engine that routes work, logs decisions, and makes governance auditable. Continue reading
Which AI Projects Survive When Token Subsidies End?
Many enterprise AI pilots look ROI-positive only because model pricing is still effectively subsidized. As token costs shift and agentic workflows multiply usage, the winners will be AI projects priced and managed around measurable outcomes. Stress-test your business case at 3× today’s rates and demand cost-per-outcome, not cost-per-seat. Continue reading
The switch that crypto never had
A single U.S. directive forced Anthropic to abruptly disable its most capable models for users worldwide—without warning—by using export controls that treat access as an “export.” Unlike the cryptography wars, modern AI has a real control point: revocable access to centralized models and compute. The event signals a new operational risk for every company that builds on frontier AI: dependency that can be switched off is not an asset, it’s a liability. Continue reading

AI might end up a controlled substance
Public sentiment is turning against AI—not over superintelligence fears, but over electricity and water consumption that show up on real utility bills. As compute becomes measurable and governable, regulation is shifting toward licensing and metering AI like a controlled substance. The winners won’t just have the best models—they’ll have accountability, auditability, and paperwork ready. Continue reading

A Stress Diagram Cannot Be Scraped
Frontier models are becoming interchangeable; the differentiator is context. In industrial manufacturing, the real moat is connecting physical test signals, structured lab data, and cross-system workflow agents that turn measurements into decisions. The winners will pair AI capability with deep domain expertise and the operational wiring that models can’t replace. Continue reading

Transformation is not a Job Title
The average Chief Digital Officer lasts 31 months. Shortest tenure in the C-suite, falling every year. 75% leave the company entirely when they go, not sideways into another role, out the door. Nearly half of CDOs themselves describe the position … Continue reading

The worst possible outcome in Greece
In tomorrow’s referendum vote outcomes of 55% plus of either Yes or No are less bad than an outcome of 51% Yes, with a Tsipras government clinging on to power. A sure bet way to total economic disaster including a … Continue reading
