KubeCon EU 2026, bottlenecks, Corporate Bullshit Receptivity, and the End of the Meat-Mouse – Related to your interests, Wednesday
Also: sovereign AI, Claude Code auto mode, FCC bans foreign routers, Walmart digital price tags KubeCon EU 2026 KubeCon is crazy big. James says something like 13,500+ people. They’re going for another infrastructure grab: all the stuff used to run AI. It’s worth asking who they’re competing with there. I have no idea how OpenAI…

Using AI to help with SRE, ops, etc.: The problem, he said, is that Claude “will get wrong correlation versus causation.” It’s like a new joiner on the team, they will think “oh, it’s a capacity problem, when actually you lost your cache.” “This is why we can’t trust LLMs for incident response,” said Palcuie.…

It’s real, enterprises just need to do the CISO work and SRE work
After using Claude more and more for task in my personal life, my current zinger analyst take on the Squawk Box would be: “OpenAI talks about business strategy, Anthropic just does it.” It’s really getting close to a sci-fi personal assistant. It takes A LOT of work to get your rig (or “harness”) setup, and…

Fully Synergized Paradigms – Related to your interests, Monday sweep
The Links Workers who love ‘synergizing paradigms’ might be bad at their jobs – “The results revealed a troubling paradox. Workers who were more susceptible to corporate BS rated their supervisors as more charismatic and ‘visionary,’ but also displayed lower scores on a portion of the study that tested analytic thinking, cognitive reflection and fluid…

Pentagon Leverages AI in Iran Strikes Amid Feud With Anthropic – One artillery unit doing the work of 2,000 staff with a team of just 20 people. Anthropic didn’t want their model used for this; the Pentagon used it anyway. The…

AI still not good at basic knowledge worker workflows, which is likely an apps problem
Here is one account of AI being shit at multi-step activate outside of coding: I think my request of “Hey Gemini, show me a list of all the articles I wrote over the last year and arrange them into categories by subject” is a straightforward one, and I came away from this experience surprised that…

SaaS businesses not looking good now: Traditional estimates for this scope of work: Method Estimate COCOMO (lines-based) ~20,000 hours Feature decomposition ~9,000-12,000 hours Industry benchmark 5-6 years solo, 12-15 months with 5 junior engineers Traditional cost $750,000 – $1,500,000 What I spent: $1,800. That’s a 99.8% cost reduction. It’s also not a fair comparison—traditional development…

AI’s are not very good at role playing games
My findings after 3 years on AIs playing games is that they’re just generally bad at it. They’re just good enough to string you along, hoping they’ll get good. Their lack of new ideas and inability to take action gives you a sort of “it’s just about to be good” feel that keeps you playing.…

Here’s a cynical, but good overview of Anthropic’s attempt to use Claude code for generic knowledge work, a tool called Cowork. One part: Cowork may find fans among knowledge workers who have to create presentations but take no pride in their work. Come on. This is an application of that caustic Protestant belief that godliness…

Is Your AI Assistant Creating a Recursive Security Loop? – AI-assisted coding is starting to eat its own tail: the same LLMs that write code are increasingly asked to review it, explain security decisions, and even override their own warnings. That creates recursive trust loops where “explain your reasoning” becomes an attack surface, and models…

Even after 3 years of tuning ChatGPT to be my best dumb friend, I keep getting told to cut the shit with my rambling, e.g., recent faint praise from the robot for my attempt at re-stating an answer: “You’ve basically got it; the only thing to do now is sharpen the tool so it’s usable…

“technically fine, offends no one, and also does fuck-all to advance the conversation”
Me: Give me a definition of and commentary on “anodyne.” It seems like smarty-pants people use it as a dog whistle (a shibboleth!) for saying “I’m a smarty pants.” ChatGPT 5.1: **Definition** _Anodyne_ (adj. or noun): 1. Something that relieves pain or soothes; 2. By extension, a remark, policy, or idea that is inoffensive, bland,…

Playing D&D is the perfect test case for this. Can Claude “remember” the lengthy sessions from last month? // Managing that memory has been a huge part of the toolchain for playing D&D with Claude.

“Touch of Water,” from Uncaged, volume 2
I solo played “Touch of Water” last night. It’s a good representation of the adventures in the Uncaged series.1 Claude did a good job adapting it my campaign setting and evolving the story. The rusalka is a good monster – it’d make a good Eryines-like creature for Auril the Frostmaiden. You can recast Auril regionally,…

Using AI to make quick D&D battle maps in Claude
You can ask Claude to make you quick D&D maps. This is useful if you’re solo roleplaying with it. As you create encounters together, having a map is good for tracking complicated situations and getting spatial awareness. The only thing is you’re making very crude vector maps (SVGs), not the more realistic ones that ChatGPT…

A representative case of the oddly simple things that LLMs are bad at
Does it seem right that computer systems that use billions of dollars of hardware, electricity, and clean water need my help to add line numbers to a few kilobytes of plain text? No, it does not. But at least this gives me deterministic results for one part of the processing. Recently, though, I’ve observed that…
