Aggregated enterprise architecture wisdom
Gerben Wierda It turns out that AI has created a whole new language. Humans do not speak it, and they may even mistake it for talk about sex. But luckily Generative AI is able to translate it to something humans can understand (and where the sex doesn’t show up).
‘Reasoning models’ such as GPT4-o3 have become a well known member of the Generative AI family. But look inside and while they add a certain depth, at the same time they add nothing at all. Not ‘reasoning’ anyway. Just another ‘level of indirection’ wh…
We humans do not simply react intelligently to what is there, we react to what could be there. And that makes a lot of difference.
GPT-3o has done very well on the ARC-AGI-PUB benchmark. Sam Altman has also claimed OpenAI is confident that it can build Artificial General Intelligent (AGI). But that may be based on confusions around ‘learning’. On the difference between narrow, ge…
Google has announced ‘Willow’, a quantum computer that can calculate so fast it would take a supercomputer 10 septillion (a 10 with 25 zeros) years to do the same. But while the science is real and cool, the message is misleading. An explainer for non-…
Just an announcement that the video of the ‘fundamentals’ part of my recent talks on essential insights on technology and psychology in relation to the digital revolution is now online on my YouTube channel.
Mastering ArchiMate 3.2 has been released. Finally. This post contains release information, and a link to the book’s page where you can order the free excerpt (with the entire language description as well as a short BPMN primer) or the entire book (bot…
You’re on the Titanic. The engineers are shouting: “The bulkheads are too low! The rudder is too small! There aren’t enough life boats!”. The sailors mumble: “It has been cold, there will be many more icebergs than usual and further south”. The owners …
Fundamental properties of digital IT have set ons on a road not to a Singularity Point, but towards Complexity Crunch. That has consequences for our strategic (IT) choices and landscapes.
A ‘long read’ (sorry) about lessons we can learn by now after h…
The early machines at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution produced ‘cheap’ (in both meanings) products and it was the introduction of that ‘cheap’ category that was actually disruptive. In the same way, where ‘cheap’ is acceptable (and no: that …
The world is waking up to the systemic vulnerabilities of our massive dependence on interdependent large logical (IT) landscapes. These not only lead to inertia — change becomes harder and harder —, but also to a brittleness of our organisations — and …
One of the use cases I thought was reasonable to expect from ChatGPT and Friends (LLMs) was summarising. It turns out I was wrong. What ChatGPT isn’t summarising at all, it only looks like it. What it does is something else and that something else only…
