I write fantasy books, collect old stuff, dive, and run a couple of tech companies. Somehow, it all informs how I implement solutions inside real businesses. I am an advisor, entrepreneur, and investor. Here, I post field notes and the ideas underneath them.

Most people donโ€™t have a knowledge problem, they have an integration problem. We consume fragments: a paragraph here, a quote there, a post that sounds smart. But fragments donโ€™t grow intelligence, systems do. Growth begins when you connect what you read into an ecosystem of ideas, not when you scroll for dopamine. Read deeply. Connect widely. Forget the bite-sized wisdom and build a mind instead.

As with all of Robinson's work, it is a great book.
In Kim Stanley Robinson's 2002 alt-timeline novel "Years of Rice and Salt" (premise is a 15th c plague wipes out the whole population of Europe), the Chinese build a great city on SF Bay but select the Marin Peninsula instead.

One of the most successful healthcare AI projects we have done didnโ€™t touch diagnostics, imaging, or anything clinical. It automated appointment scheduling and follow-up reminders. Reduced no-shows by 34%. No regulatory nightmare. No clinician resistance. Boring but massively profitable. The best AI transformation in healthcare might not be the one that makes headlines. Itโ€™s the one nobody talks about.

The people claiming weโ€™re โ€œvery closeโ€ to AGI are extrapolating from benchmark performance, which is a category error. Benchmarks measure how well a system navigates known problem structures. General intelligence, on the other hand, requires generating novel problem structures. What I think is actually happening in the next 3 years is something less dramatic but more consequential: weโ€™re entering a period where AI becomes an extraordinarily capable cognitive tool that reshapes labour markets, knowledge work, and scientific methodology, without ever becoming autonomous or self-directing in the way singularity narratives require.

We wonโ€™t be able to keep that goalkeeper in Australia, that is for sure.

Apparently, the Turkish soccer team's budget is 600 million euros. The Australian side, however, is 70 million.

Most people would lose sleep at night if they knew the technology for which their money has been entrusted.
Why donโ€™t bank deposits go through on the weekends are the computer systems home with their families?

Soccer has been getting extremely popular in Australia in recent years. Hence, the Socceroos have a lot to prove and fight for.
