    Tools of the Trade

    ByPete December 11, 2025December 11, 2025

    Reading physical books is a different experience than reading digitally. It is a more human connection to the author’s work. You can view the progress as your bookmark takes its many steps through the pages. The bookmark itself can contribute to your individual experience. When I think of certain books, they take me back to…

    A Mustache is all you Need

    ByPete December 8, 2025December 8, 2025

    Add one to your profile picture, drop your pronouns, and change your name to something masculine, and your LinkedIn posts will become 200+% more visible. I am seeing this claim trending on LinkedIn recently and find it concerning. Not because it exposes gender bias in LinkedIn’s recommendation algorithm, but because the claims are not backed…

    GPT Chat’s Path to Profit: Models, Competition, and Adversarial Uses

    ByPete December 5, 2025December 5, 2025

    The models behind GPT chatbots will continue to improve, but they are good enough today. Everything we discussed in the previous sections (1, 2, 3, 4) is possible with the technology that exists today. Model capabilities and personality do play a role in retaining users on a given platform. Trying to win the fight for…

    Reading Recap: November 2025

    ByPete December 1, 2025December 1, 2025

    Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire I had this one on my list for a long time. Some good insights on how to evolve the student-teacher (manager-direct) relationship. Overall, I found it a bit long winded and intellectual. I think reading this with a discussion group vs solo would probably have helped. The Code…

    GPT Chat’s Path to Profit: Jailbreaking the App Store

    ByPete November 30, 2025December 5, 2025

    AI Agents are a broad and often confusing topic. As we continue thinking about monetizing consumer GPT chatbots, let’s focus on AI Agents’ ability to take actions. Many people have seen agents that operate like a human using a computer or a browser. These are a useful demonstration of what will be possible to automate,…

    GPT Chat’s Path to Profit: Modalities and Mobile

    ByPete November 28, 2025November 30, 2025

    The conversational nature of GenAI chat lends itself to voice modalities much more naturally than web search engines do. Speaking a keyword query and having results URLs read back to you feels very stilted. Search is a discrete action and doesn’t carry state from one search to the next. A voice conversation with a search…

    GPT Chat’s Path to Profit: Advertising

    ByPete November 27, 2025November 28, 2025

    Advertising is coming for GenAI consumer chatbots. In part 1, we looked at the parallels between web search and information retrieval with chatbots. Chatbots already have a rich collection of user data that can be leverages for ad targeting. Let’s take a look at how they can build an advertising platform to monetize usage. The…

    GPT Chat’s Path to Profit: Web Search

    ByPete November 26, 2025November 27, 2025

    Consumer-facing GPT chatbots will inevitably start to monetize their products. Cost pressures from burning through cash and the high costs of inference may accelerate this change. But even without the cost pressure, it seems unlikely that tech companies will leave any potential profits on the table. The standard game plan for tech companies providing “free”…

    Learning isn’t Free

    ByPete November 20, 2025November 20, 2025

    AI Agents are often characterized as smart workers who learn and improve with practice. This can be true, but it isn’t automatic, and the “learning” doesn’t happen in the way I see a lot of people assume it does. Let’s start with what makes an AI Agent: 🌍An understanding of the world (Large Language Model)…

    Porcupine Leadership

    ByPete November 17, 2025November 17, 2025

    The mighty lion is often held up as a standard for leaders to follow. He is the master of his domain, and his roar cements his power. Leaders need to be strong. The male lion sits and guards his territory while the lionesses go off and do the work of hunting for everyone. Although, I’m…
