There is some confusion about whether or not we understand LLMs. The answer is yes and no, but mostly no. It's a complicated enough question that it seemed like it needed an article.

Worth a watch:
Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

How security, reliability, and design teams can get other teams to do work for them.
I share some things I learned from watching a world class security team hack a huge organization to get security work done, but in a way everyone appreciated.

I wrote up a post about how we hugely improved the write performance for Bluesky's timelines/following feed.
If you want to learn more about how we did it, check it out.
Some nuggets in there about embracing imperfection in some parts of a system to scale better.

The average AI product experience is bad right now, and it’s because teams haven’t figured it out how to build with these tools yet.
Building a prototype is 10% of the effort. The rest of the journey is uncharted waters and can be a real struggle.
