AI model poisoning is real and we need to be aware of it
Monday, February 16, 2026 by Richard Harris
On a clear night I set up my telescope in the yard and let the mount hum along while the camera gathers light from something distant and patient. The workflow is a ritual. Focus by eye until the airy disk tightens. Shoot test frames and watch the histogram. Capture darks, flats, and bias frames so the quirks of the sensor can be cleaned away later. That discipline is no...

The risks of iPad childhood
Monday, January 26, 2026 by Brittany Hainzinger
A typical 8-year-old in the UK now spends almost three hours a day online, and by age two, around 4 in 10 children already have their own tablet.

What Is Shaping AdTech in 2026
Wednesday, January 7, 2026 by Charles Manning
In 2026, AI Orchestration will happen on the desktop - not in the cloud - and it will be "Integrative" in nature.

Not letting AI become you: The trap so many are falling into
Friday, October 24, 2025 by Richard Harris
I’ve always loved the movie Multiplicity with Michael Keaton. The clever idea of cloning yourself to get more done, or just to kick back while another version of you handles the work - was brilliantly portrayed. In the end, though, it drives home a simple truth: when you try to create another “you,” things rarely turn out the way you expect.
