The shift from proving genAI use in corporate workflows in general, towards managing real-world genAI deployment at scale is proving much more complex than many anticipated, the friction of integration remains high. No wonder that we see weird incentive scenarios (Amazon this week...), and the genAI behemoths creating their own
The most significant shifts in technology often occur within the layers we take for granted, whether it is the thermal management of a chip or the foundational trust in data privacy. Observing these structural developments reveals much about where the next era of computing will be anchored. These pieces explore
Does the preoccupation with long-term AGI risks blind us to the immediate economic and social frictions currently unfolding? From unsustainable generative AI subsidies to the direct impact of live model experimentation on users, the most significant shifts are happening in the present. This week explores these pressing realities alongside some
Welcome back! This is the third installation of my newsletter, and I am already happy to create this public archive of interesting content. From the buzzwords generated by LLMs to the physical modularity of new hardware, the underlying structures are shifting. This week's curation explores both the risks
I have been spending a lot of time lately thinking about where automation ends and true agency begins. It is easy to get lost in the hype of generative models, but the real interest lies in how these technologies integrate into our workflows and even our philosophical outlooks. This week&

We are seeing a fascinating tension between massive corporate narratives and the more transparent, open-source movements emerging underneath them. This week's selection touches on that friction, covering
Oftentimes I encounter problems that I never imagined one could have. Like: „my bike doesn‘t turn on“. Yeah. So my awesome e-gravel-bike that I got this summer seems to have an issue. And if I still had hair… I would be pulling it out over this. Trigger warning: the
When I updated this website I thought about the theme that I want to follow here for the next time. Although this is my publicly private place, I still like to have some general direction, a common thread that stitches the content together. The phrasing "awesome problems" is
There are many wrong ways to know your customers. With Consumers, statistics can mislead. Averages. You might ask for opinion, for comparative preference. Not for their money. There are many more wrong ways to know your B2B customers. * Through the words of enterprise sales. * Through the numbers of corporate strategy.
I am fascinated with chosing a clear-cut perspective when looking at new questions/topics/whatever, and examine where this perspective leads me to. It does not have to be based on my own opinion or conviction though - sometimes I also like to consider a polar opposite of that, just
On Sunday, we took a family trip to a high ropes course in a forest nearby. Whilst my wife took the dog for a long-awaited walk, my daughter and I strapped into climbing harnesses, donned a helmet and received instructions on how to operate the safety gear. I have been
Some management books from US-based authors are a feast of hyperbole, long-winded analogies and stories, eventually leading up to some insights which may or may not be totally based on anecdotal evidence and/or simple common sense. This book is the complete opposite. It is practical. It is focused. It
