Building a BASIC RAD in the Age of AI Sounds Crazy. Here’s Why I’m Doing It.

by

The question of why I decided to build McBasic is perfectly legitimate, especially considering when I am doing it. This is no longer the 1990s, when Visual Basic was, for many developers, one of the simplest and fastest ways to build a Windows application. Today we have an enormous number of languages, frameworks and development … Read more

Coxon, la paura dell’AI e i contorni di una PSYOP perfettamente orchestrata

by

Ci sono storie che diventano virali perché toccano un nervo scoperto dell’opinione pubblica, e poi ci sono storie che sembrano arrivare sulla scena già perfettamente confezionate, con il protagonista giusto, il messaggio giusto, i media pronti, gli amplificatori già posizionati e la politica che, quasi per magia, possiede già la risposta legislativa al problema appena … Read more

AI Starting to Build the Machines It Runs On

by

Jalapeño is not just the first chip designed by OpenAI. It is a strong signal that artificial intelligence is entering the design cycle of its own infrastructure, potentially giving OpenAI an advantage that could become extremely difficult for others to close. When OpenAI introduced Jalapeño last June, the most immediate interpretation was fairly predictable: OpenAI … Read more

The Coming Redistribution of Software Jobs

by

AI could reduce the number of developers needed inside large organizations while, at the same time, creating new demand for technical skills in companies that until now have never been able to afford a real software department. When we talk about the impact of artificial intelligence on developers’ jobs, the discussion almost always tends to … Read more

Local AI Can Code But, Can You Actually Work With It?

by

A few days ago, Unsloth made Qwen3.8-27B available, and I downloaded it to run locally with Ollama. I had heard about the benchmarks for this model, so naturally it caught my attention right away. Not because running an LLM on your own computer is still something new, but because we are starting to see relatively … Read more

For Years, We’ve Been Told to Specialize. Now AI Could Change the Rules.

by

For most of my professional life, the advice I received was fairly simple: specialize. The mantra was always something along the lines of: “Find something you’re good at, go deeper into it than everyone else, and build your value around it”. The more complex the market became, the more logical it seemed to divide work … Read more

The Problem With AI Agents Isn’t That They Can Make Mistakes. It’s That They Can Act.

by

When a Model Can Use Tools, Credentials and Networks, a Wrong Answer No Longer Stays on the Screen For a long time, when discussing the risks of artificial intelligence, the most immediate example was hallucination. A model could invent a source, misinterpret a request, or provide an answer that sounded convincing but was completely wrong. … Read more

I Asked GPT What Happens If AI Takes Our Jobs. Every Solution Creates a New Problem.

by

A conversation about AGI started with the future of software and ended up touching on universal basic income, social mobility, taxation, ownership and power. We did not find the solution, but perhaps we found better questions. This is not an interview in which I asked artificial intelligence to predict the future, nor an attempt to … Read more

AI Makes Us More Productive. But Until What Time?

by

In seven days, Codex processed 65 billion tokens for me. That does not mean it produced 65 billion tokens’ worth of value, but it does say something about the way agents are changing both the duration and the intensity of work. A few weeks ago, I installed Who Burned More, a small open-source tool that … Read more
