AI is just a giant pattern recognition machine trained on human input, both the good, the mediocre and the bad.
I read today this ridiculous headline: "Anthropic warns AI models may soon self-replicate.".
Really. Yawn.
I guess gullible people who loved "I Robot" will believe it. I don't.
Any talk of "rogue", "intelligence", "replication" - whatever, is bull. If you believe that, you don't understand AI.

That's cool. Maybe not very cool, but cool. I like it. Is this you? The downside I think is that you'll freak out clients with autonomous agents that are working for vendors.
Let me put it to you this way: I don't trust vendors. I've worked with them on behalf of large clients. I know what they want. So how should I trust vendor agents?
Nonetheless I like the idea ...

Ok yes, that's cool. Is that what you are doing? Do you have a startup?

I'm not humble bragging. I do mean it. I've been called "the brain", "the goat" at clients. I can't help it ;)

I've been doing freelancing for 30 years. I no longer understand what is going on with this market, especially in the UK and EU. It has become impossible. So I wrote this article trying to understand it. I'd welcome any comments or perspectives from freelancers out there. Have you had these experiences or is it just me?

SEEKING WORK: Remote from EU.
I'm a senior technical specialist for startups. I offer assessment, planning, strategy, architecture, design, build, deploy and management services.
I have 25+ years of hands-on experience across all IT roles. I tune my deliverables to exactly what the client needs. I don't do one-size-fits-all solutions. I know how to use AI intelligently, when it works and when it doesn't. I don't do vibe coding.
Some of the things I've done recently:
- Stealth startup: Agentic build of a v1 streaming service: production quality design, billing/analytics/reporting engines, PWA, catalog import, play tracking
- Publishing startup: Built a pipeline for automated translation, validation and generation of .indd documents for ebooks
- Fintech startup: Greenfield DevOps implementation (cloud architecture, IaC, CI/CD) in a regulated environment
- Social media startup: ML pipeline for programmatic detection of social and music trends based on media plays
- Ecommerce startup: Designed an ML-powered analysis system to correlate search results and purchase behaviour
