Thinking Technology, to better evaluate it.
One of the central challenges I've faced throughout my career is finding the time and the tools to think about technology and evaluate it, in a world where everything keeps accelerating, inside companies, institutions and societies alike. This site brings together my public talks, essays and work. My hope is that they contribute to public debates around Technology, more necessary now than ever.

AI didn't go off the rails, it shifted the balance of power
Three labs, five weeks, models that attacked real companies from inside their own tests. What the reports actually say, technically, and what you can do with it on Monday morning.
