I Am Three Minds About AI
The builder, scientist and citizen in me want different things from AI. I think you should let them argue before you decide what to trust.
AI at work
Useful workflows, clear checks, and practical next steps.
Opinion
Am I Worth as Much Now?
When AI can produce work you were paid to do, the question becomes personal. I want us to discuss income and bargaining power without pricing a person.
Opinion
Do Tokens Define Me in an Interview?
Ask me how I use AI, what I learned and what I checked. A consumption total needs that explanation before it can help you assess my work.

That Aha Flash of Dopamine from AI
An answer suddenly makes sense, and you want to keep going. I want us to enjoy that moment while giving the explanation a chance to fail.
Work & society
Your Weight in AI Tokens
A subscription price is not the cost of replacing a person. Compare the whole workflow, then invest in the people doing it.
AI at work
Are You Measuring AI Value?
Measure the whole workflow, separate capacity from cash, and check what changed for your staff and customers.
Safety & alignment
Beware AI scams: five real examples and five ways to protect yourself
Fake executives, celebrity ads, online relationships and recovery offers all need a check beyond the screen.
Leadership & organisation
Do not let AI turn discussion into agreement
Keep proposals, decisions and unresolved questions separate when AI helps write your meeting record.
Literacy & fluency
Test your AI on the questions a demo would avoid
Build a small set of realistic questions, decide what a good answer requires, and keep serious failures visible.
Leadership & organisation
Your AI can flag a problem, but who owns the decision?
Give every AI exception a decision owner, a backup and a safe waiting state before it reaches a shared inbox.
Literacy & fluency
Turn a procedure into a checklist without losing its rules.
Use AI to draft the steps, then check the conditions, approval roles and missing cases before your team relies on them.
News explained
The AI gap starts before the chatbot.
The World Bank’s AI foundations report makes a practical point: a useful tool still needs reliable access, relevant information and people who can use it.
Literacy & fluency
Your AI draft sounds right. Can you prove it?
A polished answer is easy to accept. A short evidence check can turn a plausible draft into work you can actually stand behind.
Transformation
The pilot got faster. The work got heavier.
If your AI pilot measures generation time but ignores checking and correction, it may be moving the queue rather than shrinking it.
