New blog post: if you embed AI into your application, does that mean you have to assume your whole application is probabilistic? redoubleai.substack.com/p/ai-may-be-...
redoubleai.substack.com
AI may be probabilistic. Your business doesn’t have to be.
Uncertainty is inevitable. Letting it propagate is an architectural choice.

I've been talking to the folks at Redouble about agentic #AI in the enterprise (disclaimer: they pay me for it) and they keep having to educate me on how using AI from #Java apps would be easier if we just thought about it differently. So I wrote it down: redoubleai.substack.com/p/what-if-we...
redoubleai.substack.com
What if we’ve got AI integration backwards?
Should your agent call your application, or should your application call the agent?

I'm doing some work with Redouble AI. Their CTO, Andrey Santrosyan, had a really great conversation with @starbuxman.joshlong.com and @jamesward.com on the realities of AI in real enterprises, so I wrote a little bit about it. Summary and video here: redoubleai.substack.com/p/the-realit...

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193
A painting of a man and a woman standing in front of a red Chevrolet truck. The man is holding a hoe; the woman is holding a bucket with house cleaning supplies. The artist's two parents stand proudly in front of the painting.

Morning folks. Question for developers: how would you describe your primary use of AI coding tools in your day job? Do you not use it much or at all? Do you mostly ask questions in a chat window? Do you mostly use inline completion (perhaps with editing)? Are you doing full agentic development?
