Less hype. More operating reality.
AI is going to change businesses, teams and jobs faster than most people are ready for. This is my public notebook for making sense of it, building through it, and turning noise into useful systems.
Diary
Short notes, fresh observations and things I have noticed this week.
Go to Diary → Ideas / frameworks / signalInsights
Longer thinking, operator lessons, news interpretation and practical takes.
Go to Insights → Builds / experiments / workstreamsProjects
The bigger things being built in public, plus the journals attached to them.
Go to Projects → GitHub / tooling / what changedRepoWatch
Regular notes on GitHub changes, releases and repo signals that look commercially or operationally relevant.
Go to RepoWatch → Briefings / watchable versionsVideos
Short explainers, demos and spoken versions of the argument.
Go to Videos →AI is moving from answers to actions. That changes everything.
AI agents are getting hands. The serious business question is no longer prompts; it is how we manage permissions, evidence, workflow and failure when software can actually act.
Grok + Hermes and the Operator Layer Most People Are Missing
The wrong question is not which model is best. It is which model belongs in which part of the system. Grok looks increasingly useful as the live signal layer, while GPT and Opus handle the high-stakes work.
Google AI Search Is Still Search. Most People Will Read That Wrong.
Google’s AI Overviews and AI Mode do not create a separate magic SEO game. They still sit on top of crawling, indexing, retrieval, ranking and page quality. That does not make AI-ready infrastructure pointless. It just means people are mixing up technical accessibility with citation worthiness.
Fast notes from the messy middle of AI adoption.

Hermes Agent now supports xAI Grok OAuth, so a Grok subscription can power reasoning, voice and image/video generation inside a persistent open-source agent.
UGC-Style AI Video Is Getting Dangerously Close
A short X video is a useful signal: AI-generated UGC-style ads are moving from novelty toward something brands will actually test in the wild.
SAP + Anthropic: Claude Becomes Core of SAP's AI Platform
SAP is embedding Claude as a primary reasoning and agentic capability across SAP Business AI Platform. The enterprise agent thesis is moving from pitch to product.
Relevant GitHub changes worth paying attention to.
View all RepoWatch posts →llama.cpp keeps sanding down the local-inference path on Mac
llama.cpp b9245 and a fresh Metal pad/copy optimisation are small but relevant improvements for local model runners.
Unsloth Studio is drifting into agent workbench territory
Unsloth v0.1.405-beta adds faster GGUF inference, cloud API providers, prompt caching, external backend connections and experimental MLX support.
PyTorch fixes a CUDA Inductor atan numerics edge case
A small PyTorch compiler fix matters if you rely on CUDA-compiled model code where tiny floating-point differences can get amplified downstream.
Real workstreams, experiments and project journals.
View all Projects →Agents Trading Lab
A research journal on using agents to observe markets, reason about setups and test bounded trading workflows.
Research journal only. No financial advice. No live trading claims unless explicitly documented.
Web-based Ads Tool
A web-based tool for planning, generating, testing and learning from ad campaigns without turning the process into generic ad slop.
Cleo
A creative technology group helping brands move from rented attention to owned engagement.
Foundry
The implementation vehicle for Jason's AI, marketing and operating-system work.
Zenko
A protocol for purposeful engagement where attention becomes action, action creates value, and value funds real-world good.
Map the AI disruption inside your business before you buy another tool.
For serious owners, founders, marketers and operators: Foundry turns the diary’s public thinking into private diagnosis, implementation plans and working systems.
