I am thinking about data and AI, im thinking about a smooth integration with technology and how we think and grow. Specifically right now im thinking about AI in the data tier.

We are leveraging diffusion technology to develop a new generation of LLMs. Our dLLMs are much faster and more efficient than traditional auto-regressive LLMs. And diffusion models are more accurate, ...

Hallucinations (confabulations) in large language model systems can be tackled by measuring uncertainty about the meanings of generated responses rather than the text itself to improve question-a...

im confused by what many consider a dichotomy between RAG and large context as if RAG is merely a stopgap til LLMs become omniscient. RAGs poor connotations due to its genesis in vector retrieval belie that its the broader need for integration; search, personalization, tool use. no LLM is an island

Fully autonomous AI agents should not be developed.... semi-autonomous systems, which retain some level of human control, offer a more favorable risk-benefit profile, depending on the degree of autonomy, the complexity of tasks assigned, and the nature of human involvement. arxiv.org/pdf/2502.02649

I spent three weeks building a "data tier agentic orchestrator" prototype from scratch and 1 week creating a 10 minute video about it. Making videos is hard! Hopefully it gets easier.

This is fascinating (edelman.com). Can we say both developing world & also east are more trusting of AI than west & developed countries? Im maybe not surprised Ireland is so low in trust. Trusting AI may be considered a sort of figairey. The chart also compares trust in US vs China. Spicy.

Three weeks into building Percolate, an agentic orchestrator in the data tier using a relational-vector-graph-key database. I oscillate between excited and wondering if its a crazy idea :)

While I use Substack for less technical articles, I tend to write more technical articles about Percolate on Medium. my latest medium article is about P8s + K8s + Hetzner. In the past, AWS, GCP or DO have been my default choice for this sort of thing - maybe not in future

If you looked at the codebase you might have seen that we use best in class wasm serverless architecture that will not only be green but save $$ by only processing cpu/memory when an action is taken. And, to your great point we are using the universal Postgres db as our first step towards spannerdb
