Everything, with a date on it
Everything I have published, with the date on it. The date matters here more than in most subjects: this field moves fast, so a piece from last year may simply not be true any more. With a date you can see that for yourself instead of having to trust me.

Adoptie ging altijd over leren waar de knop zit. Als software zelf de computer bestuurt, verschuift de vraag van waar moet ik klikken naar wat wil ik bereiken.
Tegen ChatGPT vertel je het gewoon zelf
OpenAI zet advertenties in ChatGPT. Het verschil met alle andere reclame is niet de advertentie maar het gesprek waarin hij verschijnt.
Which work can you actually hand over?
Not which tool you buy, but which work you put into it. Describe a task, give six answers, and it lands on a map next to the rest of your week.
What has to be in place before you point AI at anything?
Nine questions about your data, its behaviour and your accountability. No product name comes out, but the requirements that follow from your situation, and the places where your own answers contradict each other.
What does Copilot Cowork actually cost?
With Cowork you pay per job instead of per user. Fill in your own organisation and see what that means per month, with a range attached.
Sonnet, Opus, Sol or Luna: which model should you pick?
Almost nobody picks a model, and the price difference runs to over forty times. Nine questions, one model, the routing pair around it, and the price ladder.
Copilot, Claude or ChatGPT: which one fits your work?
Five tools that look like the same thing from a distance. Nine questions, and you get one recommendation with the cost attached and with the place where that tool lets you down.
The log is lying
This morning an agent pulled an invoice out of a supplier portal. With my session, in my browser, under my name. The log saw me.

GEO: the new SEO?
Not found. Not ranked. Cited. How you end up inside an AI's answer, and why you should already be working on it.

Remember OpenClaw? The circle has closed
The wild thing somebody talked to on television is now an enterprise agent with an identity of its own. Exactly the second stage of Borrow, Grant, Take, and it arrived faster than I expected.
I could never draw hands
AI closes the gap between what I can imagine and what I can make. That is wonderful. But the best camera in your pocket does not make you a photographer.
"Do you want to switch or not?"
A doorstep salesman went viral for opening like that. I think he was well ahead of his time, because that is the question our agents are about to ask us all day long.
No is not an answer. At most: not like that, but like this
The name on my display, and the feeling that comes with knowing you do not have the answer. About why it is almost never the answer that is missing, and almost always the question.
Access to the source? Then you'll need the key first
We all moved to SaaS and let the custom work go. Now anyone can code again, and the custom work is coming back, but only if you hold the key.
Training is a beginning. Not a destination
Everyone enthusiastic, and a few weeks later everything looks like it did before. That is a waste, and it is not the training's fault.

Follow the white rabbit
If intelligence and labour both stop being scarce, what stays scarce? This piece is speculation, and I say at each step which part I have seen and which part I suspect.

A collective memory. How good is that?
Not a database. Not another folder only you can navigate. A memory is not made of information but of connections, and that is where it gets uncomfortable.

If AI gets any better, that whole department can go
I hear it more and more. Sometimes as a joke, sometimes in dead earnest. And every time the same thing strikes me: we are confusing the work with the way we happen to have organised it.
Everyone moved to Claude. On gut feeling. With the company data along
Subscriptions cancelled, new ones taken, and the reason given was usually: much better. Those were not wrong choices. They were not choices.
