How to Learn Independently in the Age of AI
AI makes self-directed learning more powerful, but not easier in the naive sense. It removes friction around access to knowledge, while making discipline, structure, practice, and feedback even more important.

Why AI “Hallucinates”
AI “hallucinations” are often not magic failures of the model, but failures of context, instructions, and feedback that leave too many possible paths open.
AI Rewards Systems Thinking, Not Just Technical Skill
AI can accelerate our work dramatically, but only if we develop the personal discipline to organize information, maintain context, and turn output into useful systems.
Agents Need Feedback Loops, Not Just Knowledge Bases
Agents need a clear way to ask for missing context, not just a larger knowledge base.
