Building a conference session that actually teaches something costs about a hundred hours. The blog turned out to be the missing first step — a place to find out whether an idea works before you're committed to delivering it.

LLMs are non-deterministic across six layers most people don't know about. Temperature=0 and seeds constrain tokens, not reasoning. Common solutions fail because they tune parameters instead of adding structural constraints. Dice rolling in production.

...and thank you for making my point - just because it "works", code quality can be bad 😇

LLM-assisted coding let a non-developer rebuild Microsoft Access as a web app without knowing React or TypeScript. It's powerful for prototyping and requirement clarity, but flight simulators don't make pilots - and Claude doesn't make developers.

Prompt injection isn't a bug we can patch - it's architectural. But we're not helpless. Here's what actually works in production, what fails, and when defenses break in unexpected ways.

Ooh! That looks awesome, thank you!
Thank you! Very excited for the future!

I'm joining Advania as Lead Data Transformation Architect to build their data practice coherently. I'll be leading technical direction and establishing foundations for real analytics and AI. Time to build something new, not manage what's established!

LLMs cannot distinguish instructions from data, making every retrieved document a potential security risk. The Wall Street Journal demonstrated this by tricking Claude into giving away over $1,000 worth of vending machine items for free.

Understanding + imagination + courage separate data-driven from data-decorated. Reports are persuasion, not neutral info. Use data contracts before collecting anything. Having instruments doesn't make music. Does your data drive decisions?

That famous beer-and-diapers discovery? Never led to action. Companies drown in dashboards but lack hypotheses. Successful data initiatives start with clear questions, not endless exploration. Are you making music or just playing instruments?

Sorry, slow on the uptake - It took me a while to figure out the GUI, but I think it makes sense and is easy to follow. Really cool!
My pleasure. A journey without challenges is neither a very rewarding nor instructive...

Shutting down the podcast and leaving Data Masterminds brought relief, not grief. 2025 taught me that outdated identity narratives are self-reinforcing data points, not destiny - and that most organizations prefer data theater over actual insight.
I just had an extremely enlightening hour with @sqlgene.com . Not only did I learn much, much more than I thought I would, but I also learned much, much more about what I didn't know that I do not know. A huge thank you to Eugene for educating me.
I was never very good at doing something on a reasonable level 🤔

You think ChatGPT is thinking? It's rolling dice token by token, without planning ahead. Non-English users get fundamentally worse performance. What's actually happening under the hood?

Four months of LLM use = measurable brain decline. Like GPS destroyed spatial navigation, AI atrophies thinking. Let's talk about the research, warning signs, workplace implications, and practical solutions.

I use this quote all the time when I speak about presentation skills and storytelling. I think it fits very well in the discussion around LLMs (and the application of thereof) in general 😎
Absolutely agree, simply because they do not WANT to understand. THAT, for me, is the biggest issue with the whole thing...
Hah! Didn't think of that! I'm still trying to figure out this blogging thing - thank you, Sir!

LLMs are pattern-matching engines, not thinking machines. But anthropomorphization plus dopamine-driven addiction pathways trick us into trusting them. Learn what they actually are and why understanding this matters.

Rituals help performers access their best state. While power posing failed, pre-performance psychology works - discover why rituals create mental anchors!.

Exactly that. It is a great tool, but just like a calculator, you need to know the math first so you can figure out when it is gone off the rails. Which it does - repeatedly.

Sugar went from luxury to ubiquitous poison before we understood what it was doing to us. We're doing the exact same thing with AI, adding it to everything without genuine use cases while it erodes literacy and critical thinking. #AI #Literacy
