The AI wave is real and AGI may already be here — but enterprise trust in frontier labs is fracturing. A builder's tour of Sequoia's computation revolution, Karp's sovereignty warning, and the open-source path forward.

A family trip through Rome, Naples, and Copenhagen — the Sistine Chapel, the Pantheon, and Tivoli Gardens — becomes a lesson in what we build and what we leave behind.

From the 1956 workshop where AI was named to the 2026 reckoning in software and labor — why computer science still matters, Jevons paradox expands the field, and everyone must transform.

After almost twenty years on WordPress.com, Memory Leak moves to a site built for SEO, AEO, and GEO — with agents as first-class citizens and an agentic development lifecycle behind the rebuild.

I was sitting in my dorm room at the University of Richmond — beige tower PC humming like it had something important to prove, CRT monitor warming the room,…

The 2025 holiday break was supposed to be slow. It has been a long year of hard work and I needed to take a break.

There's something about forced stillness that creates space for the unexpected.

2025 felt like one of those years where you don’t fully understand what happened until you look backward and realize: oh… that was a phase shift.

This post is my attempt to make latent space both intuitive and technically sound—a tour of the hidden mathematical world that lets AI models generalize,…

I believe that focus is the single most important variable in the equation of execution. Yet, time and time again, I see executive teams unable to summon it.…

We’ve reached a moment where corporate transformation is no longer optional—it’s being forced. AI isn't just another technology wave; it's an existential…

You’re in a van. It’s falling. But somehow… you are not.

Isaac Asimov, one of my favorite authors, is best known for his Robot series — books that deeply influenced how I think about technology and ethics. The…

If the last decade was defined by the rise of the software-defined enterprise, this next one will be shaped by the emergence of the AI-defined organization.…

Every company is now a technology company — a phrase first popularized by tech visionaries like Marc Andreessen in his 2011 essay Software Is Eating the World…

For decades, the holy grail of artificial intelligence was simple: fool a human into believing they were talking to another human. That was the essence of the…

I still remember the feeling—the mix of excitement and terror—as I packed the last box into a U-Haul after college. Two buddies of mine drove with me across…

Today’s frontier models are wonders of engineering. They can write code, draft legal arguments, and create poetry on command. But for all their power, they…

My daughter, a collegiate soccer player, recently called me with some tough news. After months of grueling recovery from surgery on a torn tendon in her left…
