Why you can't skip LEGO to build K'NEX
How The Office characters map to digital workforce automation—and why Dunder Mifflin wouldn't have needed Sabre if they'd just replaced Kevin with an AI that could do math. A tongue-in-cheek guide to understanding digital workforces through the lens of Scranton's most dysfunctional paper company.

That's what she said about automation
Young Anakin's unfinished C-3PO perfectly illustrates the difference between MCP Resources (reading data) and MCP Tools (executing workflows). Most SaaS vendors are shipping bare-wires prototypes when you need fully-assembled protocol droids.

Building Protocol Droid-level automation
Andy Dufresne didn't escape by chipping at the wall once. He hit the same spot, night after night, for 20 years. That's prompt reinforcement—strategic repetition that carves pathways through LLM attention mechanisms until your constraints become impossible to ignore.

Pressure and time—that's all it takes
Natural language programming isn't magic. It's not a replacement for "real" coding. It's just programming with better instructions. Stop overcomplicating it and build something.

Dissecting the economics of embedded AI chaos
Prominent researchers warn AI will homogenize human thought. They're wrong. History, physics, and your phone prove otherwise. A deep dive into why the chaos of the universe won't allow a true hive mind.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication
The sustainability pitch is a Trojan horse. The real story involves jurisdictional arbitrage, surveillance processing, and a space race that would make General Ripper proud.

Deep dive into neural network constraints
What started as curiosity about Google's Veo became a months-long expedition through impossible text, spelling nightmares, and the discovery that prompts alone can't conjure video magic.
