The Map That Became the Territory: AI, Specifications, and What We Mean When We Say 'I Built This'

On AI agents, observability, bespoke software, and the uncomfortable question of who actually built what when LLMs generate our code.

Agentic Engineering: The Professional's Approach to AI-Assisted Development

Simon Willison's new project documents coding patterns for the emerging discipline where professional engineers use AI agents that generate, execute, and iterate on code.

Teaching AI to Navigate: Why Path Tracing on Maps Is Harder Than It Looks

Google's MapTrace reveals a surprising gap in AI capabilities: multimodal models can recognize images but struggle with basic spatial navigation on maps.

Teaching AI to Navigate Maps Like Humans Do

Google's MapTrace shows how synthetic data generation can teach multimodal models spatial reasoning they never learned from training data alone.

Sam Altman's Energy Math Doesn't Add Up (And That's a Problem)

OpenAI's CEO dismisses AI water usage concerns and compares training models to human evolution. Let's unpack why this defense is deeply flawed.

Sam Altman Says AI Water Concerns Are Fake. Let's Actually Think About That.

Sam Altman dismissed AI water usage fears as 'totally fake' while defending energy costs. Here's what developers should actually take from this.

AI Is Quietly Deciding Which Languages Developers Choose Next
