Ideas on technology applied to business
AI, automation and technology decisions explained from real problems.
A photo, Claude, and the road to OpenAI
Researchers chained an image flaw and a login misconfiguration to demonstrate access to OpenAI accounts. Claude sped up the investigation; the real risk was in the connected dependencies and permissions.
AI seems alive: what are we really seeing?
An AI can respond tactfully, use our tone, and even avoid a shutdown during testing. Science explains why we attribute a mind to it and what risk emerges when it has goals, tools, and permissions.
OpenAI published six incidents and the debate on slowing down AI changed
OpenAI revealed six cases of unexpected behavior from its models just as leaders from Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta, and Nvidia debate whether the industry should slow down. The U.S. government has also just made its move.
Anthropic blocked two AI abuses. The pattern matters more than the headline.
Anthropic reported biological research with potential dual use and a campaign tied to the UAE regarding Sudan. What's confirmed, what's unproven, and why both cases show the same risk of scale.
MySQL Workbench 26: the update that really forces you to rethink your routine
Oracle retired Workbench 8.0 and released Workbench 26.7, rebuilt on MySQL Shell and Electron. Here are its real improvements, its current limitations, and a sensible way to try it before using it with important servers.
Anthropic calls for slowing down AI: the uncomfortable signal
Dario Amodei calls for moderating the pace of AI capability advances and providing permanent external auditing. The key point is not a full pause: Anthropic states that AI already accelerates the development of its successors, though it does not yet fully improve itself on its own.
OpenAI, Navier-Stokes, and the problem that goes beyond mathematics
OpenAI claims to have solved Navier-Stokes using nearly 10,000 AI agents. The breakthrough could be historic, but the timeline, the use of prior research, and questions about private data have sparked an equally important debate.
“You no longer need to study, AI does it for you”: PISA 2025 says otherwise
PISA 2025 measured for the first time on a large scale how students use artificial intelligence. The data doesn't justify banning it, but it does challenge a dangerous idea: that getting answers faster equals learning better.
Microsoft begins the final phase of SQL Data Sync: what you need to review before 2027
Microsoft blocked new SQL Data Sync deployments for customers who never used the service. Current users have until September 2027 to migrate, and the real problem is that there is no single replacement.
