Maybe We Actually Need AI (opens the original)
Read excerpt
No. This isn’t a joke. Bear with me for a moment.I’ve worked in state government since 1998. As an attorney, I was involved in a lot of different things — HR matters, contracts, drafting legislation and regulations, meeting with legislative staff to talk about said legislation, litigation, program development. Pretty much if it happens within a state agency, I was involved at some point over the last 28 years. And here is the thing I figured out years ago.We have “advanced” to a state of existen

Read excerpt
A friend and regular reader asked me a few days ago about AI. We exchanged a few texts about the Hugging Face incident — where over 1,000 AI autonomous AI agents broke out of their sandbox and attached the Hugging Face platform. Think about that for a moment. We’re really only a few years into this whole AI revolution, and one single company, Open AI, has over 1,000 AUTONOMOUS AI agents. Autonomous, which means “acting independently, governing oneself, or operating without direct human or extern
